comprehensible dialogue with just enough ambient sound to preserve the
atmosphere of a scene.”
The microphones are shock-mounted internally to reduce any handling noise and are
protected against wind noise by a stainless steel micro-mesh. For strong wind, a
special hairy cover is available as an accessory.
The compact, all-metal MKE 440 attaches to standard camera shoe mounts. It
features a three-level sensitivity switch to adjust to softer and louder sound sources
and has a switchable low-cut filter to eliminate low-frequency noise such as wind
noise. The microphone is powered by two AAA size batteries, with the green LED of
the on/off switch doubling as a low-batt indicator. The LED will turn red
approximately four hours before the batteries run flat, ensuring sufficient time to
finish shooting.
The MKE 440 will be available from June 2016.
