Product Description
The SENNHEISER MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone Bundle includes essential accessories for professional audio recording: a Shock Mount for Camera Light-Shoe, Foam Windshield, Carry Pouch, and a Complete Optics Care and Cleaning Kit.
Delving into the SENNHEISER MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone, it's designed as a precision instrument to elevate audio quality in video production, filmmaking, and scenarios requiring focused sound. Its super-cardioid/lobar polar pattern acts like a sound spotlight, sharply focusing on audio in the camera's direction, minimizing noise from the sides and rear.
This microphone ensures high directivity and pronounced rejection, delivering clear and intelligible audio even in noisy environments. It features a switchable low-cut filter to reduce low-frequency rumble and wind noise, and it can be powered by phantom power (48V) or a single AA battery for flexibility.
The bundle also includes a Dual-Layer Protection foam inner layer with an outer layer of artificial fur to minimize wind noise and pops, ensuring cleaner, more intelligible audio recordings, especially outdoors or in windy conditions. Additionally, the Complete Optics Care and Cleaning Kit includes microfiber cleaning cloths, ideal for gently removing dust, smudges, and fingerprints without scratching delicate surfaces.

I first tried the Azden smx-30 mic and it produced pretty good sound. I produced an interview-style video for a school and the audio came out really good. However, the volume was still too low with the preamps in-camera being lowered to prevent hiss. I then bought a Sennheiser mke-440 but the volume was even lower with more hiss at the same level the camera preamps were set at with the Azden smx-30. So I bought a Zoom H6 and while the audio quality itself was very good, the preamps were horrendous and the hiss was worse than ever. I even lowered the Zoom H6's output as per the instruction manual ( which at that point rendered the output to levels lower than the previous two mics I mentioned...) Here I was spending money for higher-end mics and the hiss was passable to awful and the volume low. I was ready to plotz.
So I decided to try this mic, the Sennheiser mke-600 in hopes that an xlr input ( converted to 3.5mm at the camera's end) would produce better sound. Thank God, with this mic I was able to get higher audio levels even while lowering the camera's preamps to desired levels. FINALLY!!!
I also ordered a Sound Devices preamp to get even higher quality audio. I'll see how that works out.
Get this mic if you want good quality audio straight out of camera!
Sennheiser is a fantastic product. I have used many different mics but this one for the price takes the cake.
I pair this mic with the H5 zoom. I have had other professional businesses ask me what I use and are just as amazed.
Pros:
-Great sound quality
-Easily set up (may need to purchase separate mic stand which is helpful)
-The accessories are of great quality.
-Bang for the buck
Cons:
-None
Other:
The one thing to be aware of is sound. This is considered a shotgun mic, it does a fantastic, and sometimes unwanted job, of picking up sound and noise. Know the environment in which you will be recording, as long as you have control over the noise level you will receive a great product.

What I like:
-Very directional sound as you would expect from a shotgun mic
-Very clear, true reproduction of the audio being captured
-AA phantom power is very handy
-Build quality is superb
-The furry windscreen works great outdoors.
-Sounds great with my H4n (which is notorious for poor pre's)
What I don't like so much:
-The "shockmount" is pretty pathetic. I picked up an Eggsnow shockmount which is far superior and I think it was only about $20
