Content creators know that clear, crisp audio is as important as the video itself and the Sennheiser MKE 200 adds a layer of professional sounding audio to take a production to the next level. Here’s why… You’re a content creator or a vlogger and you’ve got the video figured out, but audio isn’t something you considered when you bought your camera.Audio is as important to the end result as the visuals, especially in today's age shortening attention spans. Ask yourself this, and be honest with your answer. How many times have you watched a video with crappy audio right through the the end? The honest answer is probably never, no matter how engaging the visuals have been. So why then, would you want to create something that's visually appealing, but sounds awful? But my camera has a built-in microphone... Yes, most cameras and mobile devices feature a built-in microphone, but quite frankly, they aren't that good which the manufacturer's know, because they don't expect you to use it. To capture the best quality sound, you need something that is designed with that one job in mind. An external microphone. Introducing the Sennheiser MKE 200 The compact MKE 200 uses a directional, super-cardioid capsule to capture focused sound and detail while cutting out unwanted background noise. A built-in wind screen dampers extraneous noise and the shock mount keeps sounds caused by camera vibrations to a minimum. For an added layer of protection when recording outdoors, the MKE 200 also includes a furry windshield to help reduce wind noise. The MKE 200 easily connects to a camera or handheld gimbal via a hot/cold shoe mount and then to the camera's audio input (or headphone jack for mobile devices) via the included 3.5 mm (1/8") TRS and TRRS cables. In short, the Sennheiser MKE 200 is a fast and painless way to upgrade your existing kit to capture the professional sounding audio your next production deserves.
