Sennheiser MKE 200 Review

About the MKE 200

The MKE 200 is a shotgun microphone from Sennheiser, a renowned brand in professional audio equipment, designed to connect directly to digital cameras.

Equipped with a supercardioid capsule, this microphone effectively prevents unwanted background noise, delivering a sound quality that pays attention to the finest details. Compact cameras are generally more susceptible to noise, but the MKE 200 comes with a built-in windscreen and shock mount structure to minimize these effects.
Even when shooting videos while on the move, this microphone ensures exceptionally clear audio recording.

Additionally, attaching the included furry windshield further enhances its wind protection capabilities.

In noisy environments, the directional microphone capsule amplifies the presence of your voice. The built-in windscreen and shock mount features contribute to even clearer audio recordings than before.

The supercardioid capsule, designed for detailed sound quality, makes this microphone ideal for video shooting, vlogging, and more, significantly improving the camera audio quality for high-quality sound recording.

The package includes a 3.5 mm TRS-TRS coiled cable and a 3.5 mm TRS-TRRS coiled cable, making it compatible with DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, and mobile devices.

Now, let’s try it out.

Compared to recording my voice with the built-in camera, it sounds strikingly realistic.
When attempting to shoot videos quickly, audio quality often seems like a high hurdle, but I was surprised at how such a compact and easily attachable microphone could produce such high-quality sound in videos.
Even for someone like me, who isn’t a professional video creator, this microphone makes it easy to enjoy recording high-quality audio for videos.
I might just start live streaming with this right now...
