Ultracompact and Ultralightweight
Measuring just 2.7" long and weighing only 1.7 ounces, the Sennheiser MKE 200 Directional Camera Microphone is an unobtrusive companion for your camera- or smartphone-based video rig; it will never intrude on the shot and it's so light that you'll forget it's even there. Also, the integral shoe mount allows the Sennheiser MKE 200 Directional Camera Microphone to be attached directly to your camera, no external hardware required.

Directional Sound Pickup
Most built-in camera and smartphone microphones are omnidirectional to pick up sound from all directions, which results in undue noise and ambience. The Sennheiser MKE 200 Directional Camera Microphone uses a supercardioid polar pattern to capture sources in front of the mic while attenuating side- and rear-entry sound. Low-noise electronics and a sensitive condenser element allow it to deliver more detailed audio than the mics typically found in cameras, mobile devices, and portable recorders.

Quick and Secure Hookup to Camera, Smartphone, or Tablet
The Sennheiser MKE 200 Directional Camera Microphone's 3.5mm output port can be connected to a range of devices using the two supplied coiled cables, each featuring a locking 3.5mm TRS plug on one end that prevents accidental disconnection at the mic. One cable is terminated with a standard 3.5mm TRS plug for compatible hookup to your camera, DSLR, or portable handheld audio recorder, while the other cable has a 3.5mm TRRS plug to allow direct connection to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

No Batteries Required
Since the Sennheiser MKE 200 Directional Camera Microphone operates on plug-in power (2 to 10V), no batteries are required to run the microphone. Just hook up the MKE 200 to your camera or mobile device and forget about having to check, swap, or charge batteries.

Internal Suspension Mount Minimises Handling Noise
The Sennheiser MKE 200 Directional Camera Microphone incorporates an internal suspension mount to reject the transfer of vibrations such as camera/smartphone handling noise. Plus, the bottom of the MKE 200 features a camera shoe mount, ensuring simple attachment to your camera or shoe-equipped stand or gimbal.

Built-In Wind Protection Minimises Wind Noise
Knowing that the Sennheiser MKE 200 Directional Camera Microphone may be used in challenging shooting conditions, Sennheiser designed the MKE 200 Directional Camera Microphone with built-in wind protection, enabling the mic to lessen undesirable wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners without requiring that you slip on a separate foam windscreen. For maximum reduction of wind noise in outdoor environments, use the included furry windshield.
