The MKE 600 is a camcorder microphone that can master even the toughest video sound challenges. Its high level of directivity focuses in on desired sounds while filtering out distracting noise. Wind noise is reduced using the included foam windshield, while a switchable low-cut filter additionally minimizes wind and handling noise. An optional blimp (foam windshield/hairy cover combination) reduces wind noise even more effectively, making the MKE 600 the perfect choice for outdoor recordings. The MKE 600 can be phantom-powered or operated on an AA battery for about 150 hours.
The MKE 600 is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone able to handle even demanding filmic challenges. Due to its high directivity, the MKE 600 picks up sounds coming from the direction in which the camera is pointing and effectively attenuates noise coming from the sides and rear.
