Sennheiser has added the MKE 200 to its portfolio of audio-for-video microphones, promising easy on-camera use with DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, as well as mobile devices.

‘With the MKE 200, we are offering creators the first step to upgrading their sound,’ says Sennheiser Audio for Video Head of Portfolio Management, Tobias von Allwörden. ‘Improved audio significantly increases the overall quality of your content. The MKE 200 makes this possible with its unique design which minimises handling and wind noise. Simply attach it to the shoe mount, select the appropriate cable for your device and you’re good to go

The MKE 200 features a directional design that captures the sound of a subject while rejecting unwanted background noise. To minimise handling noise, the microphone uses an internal shockmount that acoustically decouples the capsule from the housing. To protect from wind noise, the MKE 200 has an integrated layer of protective mesh inside the housing. This protection is further enhanced by using the included furry windshield when filming outdoors.

The MKE 200 features a compact, sleek design thanks to a fully integrated shockmount and built-in windscreen. Battery-free operation and a lightweight design allow for optimal gimbal performance. The mic comes with a furry windshield, two locking connection cables for DSLRs or mirrorless cameras (3.5mm TRS cable) and mobile devices (3.5mm TRRS cable) plus a draw-string pouch for storage.

The MKE 200 is available from September 1 and retails at €99 MSRP (US$99.95 MAP).
