Discover the MKE 400 Compact Shotgun Microphone, a high-quality, innovative audio recording solution designed for vloggers, videographers, and audio professionals. This portable and versatile microphone is engineered to enhance and isolate audio, providing crystal-clear sound for your videos. Much like its predecessor, the MKE 200, the MKE 400 boasts built-in wind protection and integrated shock absorption. However, it takes audio capture to the next level with additional features that ensure optimal recordings. Its supercardioid polar pattern, enhanced by an acoustic interference tube, focuses on the sound in front of the camera while effectively rejecting unwanted background noise.

Switching between devices is a breeze, making this microphone a truly adaptable tool for any recording scenario. Powered by four Energizer Max AAA 1.5V Alkaline Batteries, the MKE 400 offers up to 100 hours of continuous audio capture. It also features a cold-shoe mount with a quarter-20 thread for universal mounting, making it a reliable companion for on-the-go recording. Advanced features include a 3-step gain sensitivity switch for distortion-free sound in any environment, a switchable low-cut filter for focusing on essential frequencies, and a headphone output with volume control for real-time audio monitoring. The MKE 400 also comes with a furry windshield for maximum wind protection in outdoor environments. For those seeking a comprehensive mobile recording solution, the MKE 400 Mobile Kit includes the MKE 400 microphone, a Sennheiser Smartphone Clamp, and a Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod. Experience the difference of focused, high-quality audio with the MKE 400 Compact Shotgun Microphone.
