This microphone takes your audio recording to the next level, as it uses the professional XLR connections and its longer length picks up sound from the direction the camera is pointing in thanks to its high directivity. Superfluous noise from the sides and rear is hugely reduced. It’s ideal for camcorders – from all-in-one fixed-lens units through to the most advanced cinema cameras – as well as professional recording devices due to its XLR connections. It’s also the best way of recording superb, clear audio on a DLSR or mirrorless camera. To enable you to tailor the shotgun mic to your camera, order the KA 600 cable for cameras with mini-jack audio input, the KA 600i for smartphones with a mini-jack or a standard XLR cable for professional cameras. The MKE 600 can be battery powered for cameras that don’t offer phantom power, and there is a switchable low-cut filter to reduce wind noise. It comes with a foam windshield and shock mount, too. All for an MSRP of £249/$329.95. And if you go outside to record in winter, the MZH 600 is a combined foam windshield and hairy cover, which combats wind noise. The KA 600 and KA 600i connecting cables are £11/€13/$19.95 and the MZH 600 windshield £41/$69.95. FOR DEMANDING CINEMATOGRAPHY CHALLENGES MKE 600 shotgunmicrophone
