Rated 5 out of 5

Excellent microphone...

I use a pair of ME66/K6 with a pair of R0DE NTG-3 similar gun type microphones in a 4 mic array for recording distant wildlife sounds and have made some fantastic recordings of Screech Owls at night with this setup. While the NTG-3 is a comparable mic, the fact that the ME66/K6 has an internal battery instead of requiring phantom power gives the ME66/K6 a definate edge for the same quality of sound. In the future I will purchase the ME66/K6 to replace the NTG-3 mics.

The Sennheiser ME66/K6P Shotgun Microphone System includes an ME66 supercardioid shotgun microphone capsule and a K6P power module in addition to a mic clip and case. The ME 66 features a highly directional supercardioid/lobar polar pattern, allowing for high off-axis rejection and focused pick up. It can handle up to 125dB SPL and has a frequency response of 40Hz to 20kHz. The ME 66 is powered by the included K6P power module, which supplies not only power, but features a switchable bass roll-off switch and on/off switch.
