Your Reliable Companion

for Every Shoot:

The New MKE 600

The MKE 600, the new condenser microphone with out-

standing directivity was developed for video journalists who

require high-quality audio and easy to use equipment. When

you need to switch locations and change camera settings

quickly, this new shotgun microphone is your ideal companion

for demanding shoots.

PERFECT SOUND. PERFECT PICTURES. 02 03

The MKE 600’s main strength is its rich sound

with its excellent reproduction of low frequencies. This 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 had been much closer to

the microphone. Furthermore, lateral interference noise is reli-

ably suppressed. The low-cut ﬁlter reduces handling noise and

wind noise. With the MKE 600, you can enjoy perfect sound

without the noise.

without background noise.

Perfect sound

No phantom power required. Since not all video

cameras are equipped to supply phantom power for a micro-

phone, 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 no longer in use – this

keeps the battery from discharging too rapidly. An LED on the

battery switch lets you know when the batteries are running

low while there is still a reserve of approximately eight hours –

enough time to ﬁnish your shoot successfully.

MKE 600

Your reliable companion for demanding shoots.

The MKE 600 is a professional shotgun

condenser microphone for video journalists

and is used at locations where high-quality

audio and simple operation are required.

Bothersome lateral interference noise is sup-

pressed and the microphone’s low-cut ﬁlter

ensures the additional attenuation of handling

and wind noises. The MKE 600, along with its

professional accessories, make up a sophisti-

cated system for ﬂawless recordings.
