With the MKE 600, you can enjoy perfect sound without the noise. Condenser microphone with outstanding directivity Developed for video journalists who require high-quality audio and easy-to-use the equipment. 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. Available Accessory: Fur windshield For outside broadcasting – a combined foam windshield and hairy cover that reduces wind noise most effectively. Light and weather-proof for optimal wind noise attenuation. Maximal rejection of side noise Professional movie recording with clear focus on speech and good sensitivity to the surroundings. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor recordings in general Perfect sound for perfect pictures. The MKE 600’s main strength is its rich sound with its excellent reproduction of low frequencies. This allows you to record speech easily and ensures high intelligibility. Its high directivity means that even audio that was recorded from a distance sounds as if the speaker had been much closer to the microphone. Furthermore, lateral interference noise is reliably suppressed. No phantom power required. Since not all video cameras are equipped to supply phantom power for a microphone, the MKE 600 can also be operated using standard AA batteries. Battery power can be switched on easily and then switched off again when the camera is no longer in use – this keeps the battery from discharging too rapidly. An LED on the battery switch lets you know when the batteries are running low while there is still a reserve of approximately eight hours – enough time to finish your shoot successfully. More flexibility for demanding shoots. The success of your work depends on achieving the perfect interplay of image and sound – and under the most difficult conditions. No matter if you’re shooting outdoors in the city or indoors with poor acoustics: When you need to switch locations and change camera settings quickly, this shotgun microphone is your ideal companion for demanding shoots.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will the mic pickup noise from the motor or arm movement if attached to the dji om3 gimbal?**
A: The mic is sensitive to all noise in close proximity. Overall, it’s not an amazing mic but built more for vlogging. 
I hope this was helpful.

**Q: I'd like to purchase a hard case for this mic, any recommendations?**
A: I'd recommend an HPRC case: they're very well built watertight and crush resistant cases comparable to Pelican cases but significantly cheaper in price. The MKE 600 is about 10" in length so You'd need at least the HPRC 2300 which has an interior width of 12". http://www.amazon.com/HPRC-2300F-Hard-Cubed-Black/dp/B004B8VLS2/ref=pd_sim_sbs_421_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=05B35GHGSTH9H59KBPJ5Another option would be the Seahorse SE-520F: http://www.amazon.com/Seahorse-SE-520F-Protective-Case-With/dp/B001A1PTCC/ref=pd_sim_200_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1W4QR2HG9EGDJ1VVK9X5I own a few HPRC cases and I'm very pleased with them. Have not owned any Seahorse cases yet, but reviews seem to be overwhelmingly positive. Both are very similar in price. (note: both brands have different color options, but with HPRC the price can vary significantly between color choices on Amazon. For example: currently the Black HPRC 2300 on Amazon is $83.90, while the Yellow and Blue models are priced at $69.90, and the Red model is $64.95)

**Q: does this come with a bracket and hot-shoe mount to put on my cameras?**
A: The Senn MKE 600 does not come with a "bracket" however, it does include a shock mount that can slide into and tighten upon and within a cold shoe mount.  The shock mount is low profile. Some cam ops really like it, others say it's a little flimsy. It wouldn't be a bad idea to additionally get a mount from KTek

**Q: Will it fit into the C100's mic mount?**
A: No I use these rubber rings from lowes I bought on my c100 mic combo.
