Review: Best value entry level pro mic - The MKE 600 is arguably the best value for money solution used by serious video shooters requiring a high-quality shotgun microphone without a thousand-pound budget. After listening to a professional blind test comparing this with the industry standard MKH 416 and a couple of more expensive Rode mics, the MKE 600 seemed like the obvious choice; costing considerably less money, yet still offering crisp, natural audio with depth and clarity, whether indoors or out in a range of situations. It offers the option to shoot phantom power or independently with a convenient single AA battery. The XLR to Jack port with a cable plugs straight into my S5IIIX, plus it can also be plugged into a portable field recorder like a Zoom or Tascam if needed. The build quality is solid and built to last, yet light and looks the part if you are dealing with clients, which never hurts. It seems to be fairly low sensitivity, which has both pros and cons, but I turned it up to +6 gain on my Lumix and I’m very happy with the results, whether over a boom or shooting on camera. There are some negatives, but no deal breakers. Although it has the AA battery option, it gives no indication how long it will last, and could power down if you are not paying attention, so in practice it makes sense to use a fully charged battery with every shoot and power down when not needed. Maybe keep a spare in the bag as well. The case it comes with is barely large enough to take the microphone without adequate space or padding for any extra accessories, so you may need to budget for a separate case with more protection later on. The shock mount is frankly poor and rather awkward, so I picked up an alternative that is a clear improvement, offering flexibility of movement, facility for boom usage and better damping against vibrations for well under £10. The switchable low-cut filter helps reduce unwanted ambient sound, but a good-quality fur “deadcat” will be indispensable if working outdoors, just as with other shotgun mics. Sennheiser makes one for this model, but I opted for one from Rycote on sale at desertcart, and it works really well. If this ever becomes a full time job, I may get the MKH 416 or even a DPA 2017, but those represent a serious jump in cost. This gets you surprisingly close, while still offering exceptional value and quality at far lower entry cost.
Review: Good - This is a perfect microphone for my Galaxy S25 Ultra. The sound is so much better, it's compact and easy to pack away after filming. This is the ideal microphone for a camera phone. You will need a phone cage to be able to attach it. Highly recommended.

## Features

- PRONOUNCED DIRECTIVITY: The MKE 600 has maximal rejection of side noise, ensuring that you capture clear audio from the direction in which your camera is pointing.

- BATTERY ON/OFF SWITCH: Prevent premature battery discharge with the convenient on/off switch, and easily monitor battery life with the "Low Batt" display.
- IDEAL FOR DEMANDING FILMIC CHALLENGES: The MKE 600 is designed to handle even the most demanding film projects, delivering high-quality audio for your video camera or camcorder.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this external mic fit and work with a panasonic lumix dmc-fz1000 mark 1?**
A: From what i can see in the manual, this camera has a 3,5mm jack connector, so then The MKE 400 will work. It fits in the flash shoe.

**Q: Does the hotshoe mount on the MKE 440 have a 1/4 inch thread in the base for attching to a stand?**
A: Yes it does:-)

**Q: Is it really normal the mke 200 working only one channel?**
A: The MKE 200 is a mono Microphone, so there is only one channel. If your connector is stereo, this probably can be changed in device settings. Hope this helps.

**Q: Will this work with a iPhone 12?**
A: It has a 3.5 mm Jack  supllied which goes into iPhones therefore it should work.

*by C***I on 22 February 2023*

I've become very fond of the MKE 600. They don't have the brilliance and sensitivity of much more expensive shotgun mics that I've used for broadcasting work, but I've never come away disappointed from using the MKE 600. It's robust, has a superb omnidirectional pickup pattern and is fuss free. It's got a surprisingly low noise floor for the price and a major bonus for me personally is I've been making a podcast in a horribly EM noisy environment which has forced me to ditch dynamic vocal mics. Shotgun mics in general just don't care and can record next to as buzzy an AC power supply as you like and the MKE 600 will ignore it. If I've any criticism at all, it's that the area of sharpest pickup is almost unforgivingly narrow, and off axis sound attenuates rapidly. That makes it great for getting a voice from across a room like any shotgun - good for singles, great for duos, but if you're putting 3 people on camera, getting them all crammed into the "sound beam" on an MKE600 can be arduous. Probably time for different/multiple mics at that point! You can get cardioid mics cheaper than this, such as the rival Rode NTG-2, but based on my experience I would strongly suggest spending the extra £40 and getting the Sennheiser. To give it it's dues, the NTG-2 is capable of sterling, competent work, but I've found the MKE pips it in pretty much every technical aspect, adding just that little extra sweetness to location sound. I don't recommend any shotgun mics cheaper than the NTG-2, and since this is only a little more money for better features, I say you should start here. This much quality sound for what is still a reasonable price in the semi-pro/pro mic market makes it a highly recommended buy!
