From DSLR to Smartphone: Pro Audio Solutions Are Available Anywhere With Sennheiser

Sennheiser MKE 400 Compact Shotgun Microphone

Plus, with integrated wind protection and internal shock mounting, it will always be ready for any environment.

Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone

A step up from the MKE 400, the Sennheiser MKE 600 shotgun microphone is for video journalists and videographers. This shotgun mic can handle the most demanding filmic challenges.
