Sennheiser MKE 400

Compact on-camera shotgun microphone, which has become a popular choice for videographers and vloggers seeking high-quality directional sound. The key feature of this model is the supercardioid pickup pattern, which allows the microphone to focus on the sound directly in front of the camera, effectively suppressing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This ensures clear and intelligible speech recording even in noisy environments.

A two-position sensitivity switch is provided to adapt to different acoustic conditions, allowing the recording level to be adjusted for loud or quiet sound sources. The Sennheiser MKE 400 microphone is powered by a single standard AAA battery, and it connects to the camera via a mini-Jack 3.5 mm TRS connector. The microphone is constructed from a durable all-metal housing, yet weighs only 60 grams, keeping the filming setup lightweight.

The frequency range of 40 to 20,000 Hz ensures full and natural sound reproduction, and the package includes a windscreen to reduce wind noise when shooting outdoors. Supercardioid pickup pattern allows focused sound capture, maintaining clarity and intelligibility in noisy environments. Lightweight design and durable metal housing provide ease without compromising durability. Wide frequency range offers natural sound, easy connection via mini-Jack 3.5 mm TRS, powered by standard AAA battery.
