Stepping up your audio quality:
Nowadays, it isn’t too difficult to capture detailed and sharp video — nearly every smartphone records in 4K. But recording pristine audio still presents many challenges. The new Sennheiser MKE 200 microphone is an easy, efficient way to record professional audio.
The condenser microphone has a frequency response of 40Hz to 20,000Hz to get the full range of sounds, and uses a directional, super-cardioid pickup pattern that only captures the audio you want. It’s perfect for recording interviews, travel vlogs, and more — all the distracting ambient noises and unwanted conversations hardly register a response. Furthermore, the MKE 200 has a built-in windscreen and an additional attachable furry windscreen to allow for clear audio in windy environments. To top it off, Sennheiser’s new condenser microphone includes a built-in shock mount that further improves audio quality.
DSLR, mirrorless, and smartphones:
A cool feature of Sennheiser’s new microphone is that it’s compatible with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and smartphones. The package comes with a 3.5mm TRS to TRS cable and a 3.5mm TRS to TRSS cable to fit each device, so you have freedom to shoot with what you want. Creators can go from recording a professional interview with a Canon 70D, to capturing a quality TikTok on their smartphone.
The MKE 200 has a cold shoe mount crafted on the bottom to easily attach to DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. The microphone is also incredibly compact (it measures at just 69mm x 60mm x 39mm) and lightweight (just 48g) so it doesn’t restrict your mobility while shooting. The MKE 200 has a battery-free design and draws power from your device to further lighten the load. And as if it wasn’t easy enough to carry, Sennheiser provides a compact carrying pouch.
The Sennheiser MKE 200 Super Cardioid On-Camera Microphone is now available for at Adorama.
