The XLR connector on the MKE 600 appears to be upside down, is this the case with all Sennheiser shotgun mics, or just the MKE 600?
I never mentioned it's performance, However, if you simply "look" at the microphone, you will see that the the prongs are upside down from other mics (one prong on top, two on the bottom. Therefore, when using an XLR cable with a right angle, it points up instead of down. Is this more clear? My question is the same... is this normal for the German made Sennheiser mics OR just the MKE 600?

Is this mic good for singing?
Is this mic good for singing?
Hi Patrick - while the MKE 600 is an exceptionally versatile microphone for voice applications with respect to interviews, voice over and use cases that require a highly directional polar pattern, it wouldn't be my first choice for singing. Sennheiser offers a wide range of microphones for vocals and I'd direct you to one of our best sellers: e 835. Please feel free to reach out to B&H directly via chat, email or over the phone and I'm certain their team can help guide you once they have a better understanding of your specific application and needs.

The MKE 600 is shown taking 1.5 volt AA batteries. Can it handle a 3.7 volt AA lithium battery?
No, a 3.7V AA lithium battery is not compatible for use with the Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone. Sennheiser recommends using only 1.5V or 1.2V single-use or rechargeable AA batteries with the MKE 600.

question
Is this mic also compatible with portable recorders, such as a Tascam DR-100 MKII?
I use this mic with a Tascam DR-40 using XLR, Canon 5DIII (with the battery in mic), and with a Sony PXW-X70 (XLR, phantom power). It works great in every case. One of the best value mics on the market

How is this Mic for Shooting Stage Production from a Mid Distance getting mix from Shotgun/
audio feed?
It's a great shotgun microphone but like any shotgun mic it will sound its best between 3-5 feet away, the further the mic is from the subject you recording the less presence their voice will have and more room noise will be introduced. At the end of the day the closer the mic is placed the better it will sound.

question
mke 600 work with pc if we use xlr to 3.5 without use any audio interface thanks
The MKE-600 can be used without an interface when using the mic with battery power and the proper cable adapter. Sennheiser offers properly wired adapter cables. These are recommended for connection to 3.5mm TRS or TRRS inputs.
