MKE 400 - Directional, supercardioid
A pre-polarised condenser shotgun microphone with super-cardioid pickup pattern and a frequency response of 50-20,000Hz designed for compatibility with DLSR cameras or similar via standard cold shoe mount. Sensitivity can be switched from -23/-42/-63dBV/Pa via a built-in switch, whilst a second switch allows the user to apply a low cut filter. A 3.5mm headphone output allows direct monitoring. The microphone uses 2x AAA, 1.5V battery cells to give over 100hrs of operational time, whilst an LED signifies low battery. The microphone includes a coiled 3.5mm TRS/TRS jack cable and a coiled 3.5mm TRS/TRRS jack cable to allow compatibility with some mobile devices.
Included accessories: CL35 TRS, locking TRS-TRS coiled cable; CL35 TRRS, locking TRS-TRRS coiled cable; MZH 400 furry windshield, drawstring pouch.

MKE 440 - Stereo, supercardioid
MKE 440 is a compact, stereo, microphone 'for cameras with a lighting-shoe mount and external microphone input'. It has dual miniature shotgun capsules, mounted in a 'V' configuration to 'create frontal focus' and provide 'maximum side noise rejection'.
The two super-cardioid microphones are mounted in an 'all-metal' housing, protected by a 'built-in elastic suspension' and a dual-mesh windshield. The microphone mounts on the camera accessory shoe and connects by a short, coiled cable with three-pole, 3.5mm jack plug.
Controls: There is an on/off switch; signal level to the camera is adjusted with a three-level switch; a 'low cut switch minimises wind and handling noise'.
Maximum sound level: 132dB SPL. Response: 50Hz - 20kHz. Power source: 2x AAA cells, providing more than 100 hours use. Operating temperature: -10 to +55 degrees C. Dimensions: 67 x 106 x 128mm. Weight: 165g without batteries.
Optional accessories: The MZH 440 fur windshield is offered for out-door use. Batteries; see AAA batteries, 4-pack and see AAA batteries, 10-pack.
MKE 600 - Shotgun, supercardioid
Sennheiser MKE 600 is a ‘highly directional’ shotgun microphone with condenser capsule. The microphone has a switchable low-cut filter which aids in minimising wind noise. MKE 600 can be powered using +48V phantom power or battery powered using a single AA battery cell. A battery on/off switch prevents the battery from discharging prematurely, whilst low battery detection is displayed by way of permanently lit red LED near the on/off switch. When the battery cell is empty the red LED flashes briefly.
Included accessories: MZS 600 shockmount, MZW 600 foam windshield, KA 600 cable, and pouch.
Maximum sound level: 132dB SPL, with +48V phantom power; 126dB SPL, with battery power. Response 40Hz - 20kHz. Battery operating time: approximately 150hours. Dimensions (Diam x L): 20 x 256mm. Weight: 128g, without battery.
