Description

  • Focus your sound

    The MKE 400 features a super-cardioid polar pattern achieved by an acoustic interference tube, providing focus and detail while rejecting unwanted background noise. Ideal for vloggers and videographers alike, this highly directional microphone will enhance your audio and bring presence and clarity to your recordings.

  • Record with confidence

    All handheld cameras are susceptible to handling noise, so the MKE 400 features integrated wind protection and shock absorption. This combination ensures the cleanest audio recordings possible while shooting video on the move. Attach the included furry windshield for maximum wind protection in outdoor environments.

  • Versatile by design

    In today’s world, your video recording is most likely not confined to one device, and your microphone doesn’t have to be either. Each MKE 400 includes 3.5 mm TRS and TRRS locking cables to be used with DSLR/M cameras or mobile devices.

  • Adapt to the situation

    Let’s face it, poor acoustic environments are practically unavoidable when traveling or shooting on location. That’s why the MKE 400 comes equipped with both a low-cut filter and a 3-step gain sensitivity switch. Use the low-cut filter to remove problematic low frequency rumble or wind noise and adjust your gain sensitivity to optimize recording levels in any environment.

  • Before you start rolling

    One of the most important steps when recording audio is to check your levels and monitor your sound. While some cameras have a headphone jack, not all do, and that’s where the headphone monitoring output comes into play. Plug any 3.5 mm headphone directly into the MKE 400 and use the integrated volume control to dial in your recordings.

The MKE 400 is a compact, highly directional on-camera shotgun microphone designed to isolate and enhance the audio for your video. Like the MKE 200, the MKE 400 includes built-in wind protection and integrated shock absorption, while offering even more features to ensure the best possible recordings.

A three-step sensitivity switch enables the MKE 400 the ability to provide distortion free sound in any environment, and a switchable low-cut filter focuses your audio on the most essential frequencies for clarity and speech intelligibility. Interchangeable, 3.5 mm locking coiled cables offer compatibility with DSLR/M cameras or mobile devices and a convenient headphone output allows you to monitor your levels while recording.

Excellent for GoPro Hero

It is compact, and quite robust. The mechanical design of holding mic enclosed works well. Even put on a dead cat fur, the size does not overly increase. It is this very reason I bought it for my GoPro Hero 9 with a Media Mod, instead of buying Rhode mic. I use wide angle, and this Sennheisser MKE200 does not get into the lens or in the view when filming. One caution. It is a directional mike, and it does not pick up much sound from behind (but that is how this mic is designed anyway). I sometimes use it with an iPhone with a monopod, and it works well. Some may not like the microphone cable need to be attached in the front side of the mic instead of at the back (e.g. Rhode mic is the case). If you are using a view finder of your mirrorless camera for filming or using it while the mic is attached, then, having it in the front side means, it does not poke into your face, and is a plus point as well.
