The MKE 600 gun microphone

The MKE 600 is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone able to

handle even demanding filmic challenges. Due to its high directivity,

the MKE 600 picks up sounds coming from the direction in which the

camera is pointing and effectively attenuates noise coming from the

sides and rear. The switchable “Low Cut” filter additionally minimizes

wind noise.

Because some video cameras/camcorders do not provide phantom

power, the MKE 600 can also be battery powered. A battery on/off

switch prevents the battery from discharging prematurely; “Low

Batt” is displayed.
