Featuring a switchable low-cut filter to reduce wind noise, it supports both phantom and AA battery power for flexible use. Lightweight and durable, it delivers crisp, natural sound with high signal-to-noise ratio, making it ideal for demanding film and outdoor environments. ## Description From the manufacturer Picture perfect, minimises wind noise Microphone for camera & camcorder MKE 600 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. The switchable “Low Cut” filter additionally minimises wind noise. Because some video cameras/camcorders do not provide phantom power, the MKE 600 can also be battery-powered. Switchable "low cut" filter minimises wind noise The low-cut filter reduces handling noise and wind noise. With the MKE 600, you can enjoy the perfect sound without noise. Condenser microphone with outstanding directivity Developed for video journalists who require high-quality audio and easy-to-use equipment. The MKE 600 picks up sounds coming from the direction the camera is pointing and effectively attenuates noise coming from the sides and rear. Available accessory: Fur windshield For outside broadcasting – a combined foam windshield and hairy cover reduce wind noise most effectively. Light and weather-proof for optimal wind noise attenuation. Maximal rejection of side noise Professional movie recording with a clear focus on speech and good sensitivity to the surroundings. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor recordings in general. Why should I upgrade my in-camera mic? - Pronounced directivity and maximal rejection of side noise. - Switchable "Low Cut" filter minimises wind noise and Phantom or battery powering & battery switch with "Low Batt" indicator. - Rugged all-metal housing with very good suppression of structure-borne noise and supplied with foam windshield and shock mount. Perfect sound for perfect pictures The MKE 600’s main strength is its rich sound with its excellent reproduction of low frequencies. Allows you to record speech easily and ensures high intelligibility. Its high directivity means that even audio that was recorded from a distance sounds as if the speaker is closer to the microphone. No phantom power required Since not all video cameras are equipped to supply phantom power for a microphone, the MKE 600 can also be operated using standard AA batteries. Battery power can be switched on easily and then switched off again when the camera is not in use. This keeps the battery from discharging too rapidly. Specification Comparison MKE 200 MKE 400 MKE 440 MKE 200 Mobile Kit MKE 400 Mobile Kit Review: Best value entry level pro mic - The MKE 600 is arguably the best value for money solution used by serious video shooters requiring a high-quality shotgun microphone without a thousand-pound budget. After listening to a professional blind test comparing this with the industry standard MKH 416 and a couple of more expensive Rode mics, the MKE 600 seemed like the obvious choice; costing considerably less money, yet still offering crisp, natural audio with depth and clarity, whether indoors or out in a range of situations. It offers the option to shoot phantom power or independently with a convenient single AA battery. The XLR to Jack port with a cable plugs straight into my S5IIIX, plus it can also be plugged into a portable field recorder like a Zoom or Tascam if needed. The build quality is solid and built to last, yet light and looks the part if you are dealing with clients, which never hurts. It seems to be fairly low sensitivity, which has both pros and cons, but I turned it up to +6 gain on my Lumix and I’m very happy with the results, whether over a boom or shooting on camera. There are some negatives, but no deal breakers. Although it has the AA battery option, it gives no indication how long it will last, and could power down if you are not paying attention, so in practice it makes sense to use a fully charged battery with every shoot and power down when not needed. Maybe keep a spare in the bag as well. The case it comes with is barely large enough to take the microphone without adequate space or padding for any extra accessories, so you may need to budget for a separate case with more protection later on. The shock mount is frankly poor and rather awkward, so I picked up an alternative that is a clear improvement, offering flexibility of movement, facility for boom usage and better damping against vibrations for well under £10. The switchable low-cut filter helps reduce unwanted ambient sound, but a good-quality fur “deadcat” will be indispensable if working outdoors, just as with other shotgun mics. Sennheiser makes one for this model, but I opted for one from Rycote on sale at desertcart, and it works really well. If this ever becomes a full time job, I may get the MKH 416 or even a DPA 2017, but those represent a serious jump in cost. This gets you surprisingly close, while still offering exceptional value and quality at far lower entry cost. Review: Excellent. - I don't know much about microphones but I know that this gives me excellent results being plugged into a zoom recorder. The noise floor appears to be much lower than the inbuilt mics so you get really clean sound at low volumes. I'm happy with it. ## Features - PRONOUNCED DIRECTIVITY: The MKE 600 has maximal rejection of side noise, ensuring that you capture clear audio from the direction in which your camera is pointing. - SWITCHABLE "LOW CUT" FILTER: Minimize wind noise interference with the MKE 600's switchable filter, perfect for outdoor filming in breezy conditions. - PHANTOM OR BATTERY POWERING: Don't worry about compatibility - the MKE 600 can be powered by phantom power or batteries, making it versatile for any setup. - BATTERY ON/OFF SWITCH: Prevent premature battery discharge with the convenient on/off switch, and easily monitor battery life with the "Low Batt" display. - IDEAL FOR DEMANDING FILMIC CHALLENGES: The MKE 600 is designed to handle even the most demanding film projects, delivering high-quality audio for your video camera or camcorder. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00B0YPAYQ | | Antenna Location | Video production | | Audible Noise | 132 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 132 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | 2 in Camcorder External Microphones | | Box Contents | Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone, AA Battery, Carrying Pouch, Limited 2-Year Warranty | | Brand | Sennheiser | | Brand Name | Sennheiser | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Camcorder, Camera | | Connectivity Technology | Auxiliary | | Connectivity technology | Auxiliary | | Connector Type | XLR | | Connector type | XLR | | Country of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 781 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Foam | | Frequency Range | 25Hz 18kHz | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04044155074871 | | Hardware Platform | camera/camcorder | | Impedance | 1000 Ohms | | Item Dimensions | 25.6 x 2 x 10.2 centimetres | | Item Weight | 15.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Sennheiser | | Manufacturer Part Number | 505453 | | Microphone Form Factor | Shotgun | | Model Name | MKE 600 | | Model Number | 505453 | | Model name | MKE 600 | | Number of Batteries | 1 AA batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Recommended uses for product | Video production | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 75 dB | | Special Feature | Wired | | Special feature | Wired | | UPC | 615104223493 632709979327 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sennheiser - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible devices:** Camcorder, Camera - **Connectivity technology:** Auxiliary - **Connector type:** XLR - **Included components:** Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone, AA Battery, Carrying Pouch, Limited 2-Year Warranty - **Model name:** MKE 600 - **Polar pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended uses for product:** Video production - **Special feature:** Wired ## Images ![MKE 600 Shotgun Camera Microphone | Phantom & Battery Power | Switchable Filter for Wind Noise Minimisation | Black (505453) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-EIJ6w0nL.jpg) ![MKE 600 Shotgun Camera Microphone | Phantom & Battery Power | Switchable Filter for Wind Noise Minimisation | Black (505453) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EDFocwt8L.jpg) ![MKE 600 Shotgun Camera Microphone | Phantom & Battery Power | Switchable Filter for Wind Noise Minimisation | Black (505453) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wdN465iVL.jpg) ![MKE 600 Shotgun Camera Microphone | Phantom & Battery Power | Switchable Filter for Wind Noise Minimisation | Black (505453) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61v7JmWRiyL.jpg) ![MKE 600 Shotgun Camera Microphone | Phantom & Battery Power | Switchable Filter for Wind Noise Minimisation | Black (505453) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/315iyd8U7EL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would this external mic fit and work with a panasonic lumix dmc-fz1000 mark 1?** A: From what i can see in the manual, this camera has a 3,5mm jack connector, so then The MKE 400 will work. It fits in the flash shoe. **Q: Does the hotshoe mount on the MKE 440 have a 1/4 inch thread in the base for attching to a stand?** A: Yes it does:-) **Q: Is it really normal the mke 200 working only one channel?** A: The MKE 200 is a mono Microphone, so there is only one channel. If your connector is stereo, this probably can be changed in device settings. Hope this helps. **Q: Will this work with a iPhone 12?** A: It has a 3.5 mm Jack supllied which goes into iPhones therefore it should work. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best value entry level pro mic *by C***R on 27 October 2025* The MKE 600 is arguably the best value for money solution used by serious video shooters requiring a high-quality shotgun microphone without a thousand-pound budget.
