Sennheiser - MKE 400 MKII
Sennheiser MKE 400 Highly directional supercardioid shotgun microphone for improved, well-isolated sound on your camera. It combines portability and performance in a unique way: items that have traditionally been supplied as accessories, such as a windscreen and shock mount, are now fully integrated and perform better than ever, freeing up space in your gear bag and on your camera itself.
Presentation
Record with confidence - All handheld cameras are sensitive to handling noise, which is why the MKE 400 has built-in wind protection and shock absorption. This combination ensures the cleanest possible audio recordings when shooting moving video. Attach the supplied fur windscreen for maximum wind protection outdoors.
Versatile by design - In today's world, your video recordings are probably not limited to one device, and neither is your microphone. Each MKE 400 includes cables with lockable 3.5mm TRS and TRRS connectors for use with SLR and mirrorless digital cameras or mobile devices.
Adapt to the situation - Let's face it, poor acoustic environments are almost inevitable when travelling or shooting on location. That's why the MKE 400 is equipped with a low-cut filter and a 3-step gain sensitivity selector. Use the low-cut filter to eliminate problematic low-frequency wind or rumbling noises, and adjust your gain sensitivity.
and adjust your gain sensitivity to optimise recording levels whatever the environment.
Before you start shooting - One of the most important steps in audio recording is to check your levels and monitor your sound. Some cameras have a headphone socket, but not all, and this is where the monitor output comes in. Plug a pair of 3.5mm mini-jack headphones directly into the MKE 400 and use the built-in volume control to adjust your recordings.
