A good quality microphone is an integral part of any camera or smartphone-based video shooting rig to bring about improvement in sound quality. This will hold good even in busy and noisy locations without having to carry around a burdensome windscreen and suspension system. Does the Sennheiser MKE 200 fit the bill? Let’s find out.
Features
The MKE 200 is a shoe mount directional microphone specially designed for the purpose of vlogging and intended to be used mostly with a mirrorless camera or smartphone. You can connect it to a microphone input jack in the case of a camera and to a headphone jack in the case of a smart device with supplied cables. Also, this can be done without any external power source; the MKE 200 operates on plug-in power (it draws power from the connected device). This microphone can be easily attached to your camera or portable handheld audio recorder with one of the supplied cable, with the 3.5mm TRS plug. The other cable that has a 3.5mm TRS plug allows direct connection to mobile devices such as a smartphone or a tablet.
