MKE 600 Cinematic sound made simple

Precision sound for serious filmmakers

Versatility is key for on-set sound, and the MKE 600 is built to adapt. While it’s designed to operate for up to 150 hours on a single AA battery, complete with a handy low-battery indicator to prevent surprises mid-shoot, it can also run on 48V phantom power. With its rugged all- metal housing, lightweight 128g body and compact 256mm length, the MKE 600 is tough enough for field work yet light enough for smaller rigs. Built to work alongside any system

When clarity and control matter most, Sennheiser’s MKE 600 delivers. This compact, supercardioid/lobar shotgun microphone has earned its reputation as a go-to tool for filmmakers and sound recordists tackling demanding productions. Its high directivity helps to isolate exactly what’s in front of the mic, rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear in order to keep dialogue clean and focused.

Ideal for location work, interviews or narrative filmmaking, the MKE 600 excels at capturing crisp, natural audio with minimal post-production clean-up required. The mic’s switchable low-cut filter helps tame wind noise and low- frequency rumble, while the included foam windshield provides additional protection. For outdoor shoots, an MZH 600 blimp is available separately.
