Description
This B&H Kit combines the Sennheiser MKE 440 Compact Stereo Shotgun Microphone with a fur windshield to create an ideal location recording set up well suited for outdoor applications. The MKE 440 is a compact stereo shotgun microphone that predominately captures focused stereo sound from within the direction of filming and rejects the majority of off-axis noise from outside the camera focus. The microphone utilizes two mini-shotgun elements that are mounted in a V-shape arrangement, which outperforms mini AB, MS, or XY setups.
The microphone offers a stereo, super-cardioid pickup pattern and features a frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz, as well as a maximum sound pressure level of 132 dB. The mic includes a 3-level sensitivity switch and a high-pass filter to remove rumble. The MKE 400 is powered by two AAA batteries and offers an operating time of 100 hours. The tailor fit fur windshield features simulated fur outside and helps reduce wind noise.
