About the Sennheiser MKE 600:
Rent the Sennheiser MKE 600 in Los Angeles from F22 Studios. The MKE 600 is a camera-friendly shotgun microphone designed for documentary and interview work, corporate and event video, on-camera run-and-gun shooting, indie narrative dialog, and any production that wants Sennheiser dialog quality in a lighter, more flexible package than the MKH series.
The MKE 600 pairs pronounced front directivity with effective rejection of side and rear sound, which is exactly what you want when a subject is talking in a room with air handling, traffic outside, or a crew standing nearby. A switchable low-cut filter handles wind and handling rumble at the source, and the design keeps handling noise low even when the mic is moving on a boom or riding on a shoulder rig.
Power is flexible: the MKE 600 runs on a single AA battery or on 48V phantom power, and it includes a low-battery indicator so a dying cell never surprises you mid-interview. That battery option makes it a natural fit for DSLR and mirrorless cameras that provide no phantom power, while phantom operation keeps it at home on a mixer or field recorder.
Practical use cases include documentary and corporate interviews, event and conference coverage, on-camera dialog for single-operator shoots, indie narrative boom work, and B-camera audio on larger productions. Pairs well with our Zoom field recorders, boom poles, and camera packages. Available now for rental at F22 Studios in Burbank, serving productions across greater Los Angeles.
