The MKE 600, the new condenser microphone with out-

Perfect sound
without background noise.
The MKE 600’s main strength is its rich sound
with its excellent reproduction of low frequencies. This allows
you to record speech easily and ensures high intelligibility. Its
high directivity means that even audio that was recorded from
a distance sounds as if the speaker had been much closer to
the microphone. Furthermore, lateral interference noise is reliably suppressed. The low-cut filter reduces handling noise and
wind noise. With the MKE 600, you can enjoy perfect sound
without the noise.

No phantom power required. Since not all video
cameras are equipped to supply phantom power for a microphone, the MKE 600 can also be operated using standard AA
batteries. Battery power can be switched on easily and then
switched off again when the camera is no longer in use – this
keeps the battery from discharging too rapidly. An LED on the
battery switch lets you know when the batteries are running
low while there is still a reserve of approximately eight hours –
enough time to finish your shoot successfully.
