Exceptional Noise Rejection
The capsule features a highly directional, cardioid polar pattern yielding great attenuation at the sides of the microphone, maximizing pick up at the front.
Wide Frequency Response
A wide 40-20,000Hz frequency response ensures detailed, accurate signal reproduction.
Compact Camera Mountable
The ME66's compact design allows mounting to video cameras and is at home in event videography, ENG / EFP use, video depositions, corporate media applications and film.

question

Hi B&H. I was looking at the Sennheiser me66 mic, but saw that I had to buy it with the k6 module. I was just wondering: Now that the Frequency Response on the me66 is 40 Hz - 20 kHz, but the Frequency Response on the k6 module is 30 to 20,000 Hz, doesn't I loose 10 Hz? (link below)Regards Martin.
Asked by: Anonymous
I think you are looking at it the wrong way - the mic has a freq resp of 40 and up, the K6 module is from 30 and up (you therefore GAIN 10 Hz) - but you v. seldom operate at this level anyway - unless you have v specific needs.

question

What other hardware do I need to connect a Sennheiser K6 to Panasonic AG-HMC40?
Asked by: Wayne R.
In order to connect the ME66 with K6 power module you will need the proper cable. The Kopul LMT-100 will allow you to connect the K6 to the 3.5mm mic input jack on the camera. If you are using the optional AG-MYA30G XLR Microphone Adapter with your camera you will need a short XLR cable for connection. In addition the DUSM-1 shock mount will allow you to mount the microphone to the shoe on your camera.
