Bundled together by B&H for your convenience, this Sennheiser MKE 600 Podcasting Kit offers essential items for podcasting from your home. First, you get an excellent shotgun-style mic in the Sennheiser MKE 600, a battery- or phantom-powered shotgun mic that excels at picking up speech. Its included foam windscreen minimizes pops and plosives to some extent, while its lobar polar pattern is highly directional, helping you to tamp down room noise. Use the switchable pad to cut out any low-frequency noise in your room.
Also included is an XLR to USB Cable that functions as an audio interface, so you can eschew a big clumsy box and plug straight into your computer's USB port. Affix the supplied boom arm to your desk, and you can mount your microphone in the same manner a professional radio broadcasting station does, giving your setup a sleek appearance. With closed-back headphones, you can monitor your audio without letting it bleed into the resulting recording.
Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone
Upgrade the audio quality in your video productions by switching from the built-in mic on your camera to the Sennheiser MKE 600 battery- or phantom-powered shotgun microphone. Its focused directional characteristics and resistance to structure-borne noise offer sonic results well suited to a variety of production scenarios from independent films and web series to nature shows and documentaries.
The MKE 600's high sensitivity and low-noise circuitry unlock improved sound quality without extreme gain on noisy camera preamps. With a natural roll-off at 40 Hz and a selectable low-cut filter at 100 Hz, the MKE 600 can deliver clear intelligibility while attenuating low-frequency noise such as rumble. Plus, its frequency response incorporates a gentle rise in treble to enhance speech clarity.
The lightweight and durable metal housing ensures reliable toughness without weighing down your rig. The included shoe shockmount accommodates mounting the MKE 600 to a camera or tripod. Connect the mic's XLR output to an XLR-equipped mic preamp or use the supplied adapter cable to plug it into the 3.5mm mic input on a camera.
