The MKE 440 from Sennheiser is a compact stereo shotgun microphone that predominately captures focused stereo sound from within the direction of filming and rejects the majority of off-axis noise from outside the camera focus. The microphone utilizes two mini-shotgun elements that are mounted in a V-shape arrangement, which outperforms mini AB, MS, or XY setups.

The microphone offers a stereo, super-cardioid pickup pattern and features a frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz, as well as a maximum sound pressure level of 132 dB. The mic includes a 3-level sensitivity switch and a high-pass filter to remove rumble. The MKE 400 is powered by two AAA batteries and offers an operating time of 100 hours. The microphones are internally shock-mounted to prevent handling noise, and the stainless steel micro-mesh offers protection against wind. Additionally, an optional hair cover is available for strong wind applications.

  • Dual mini shotgun microphones create frontal focus
  • Suppression of ambience and background noise
  • Built-in elastic suspension and wind protection
  • 3-level sensitivity adjustment and low-cut filter
  • Compact, all-metal construction
  • Standard size camera shoe mount

    Fantastic Directional Stereo Sound

    I film often near a busy interstate, and my current stereo mic; the Azden SMX-30 picks up too much of that noise. The directional stereo helped reduce that noise by isolating my stereo to noises in front of my camera.

    I also think the stereo sounds a bit better here than with the Azden mic, although the pure shotgun mic of the Azden isolates noise better at the cost of stereo.

    The dead cat for the MKE 440 is just ok. I was still getting wind noise even with moderate wind. The dead cat for the Azden works much better. This might have more to do with the mic design of the MKE 440 than with the dead cat for it. Either way, wind reduction is much better on the Azden SMX-30.
