Sennheiser MKE 440 Stereo Shotgun Microphone for Cameras

$379.00

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 MKE 440 has two aligned and matched mini shotgun mics ensuring that the MKE 440 captures the audio you want while rejecting off-axis noise. This feature sets it apart from conventional stereo microphones. With its optimized acoustic characteristics and adjustable sensitivity, the MKE 440 is ideally suited for speech, music or ambience. The stainless steel micro-mesh wind protection reduces wind noise and protects the fine high frequency details in your sound. Best of both worlds: Stereo without side effects!

About the Sennheiser MKE 440 Stereo Shotgun Microphone for Cameras

The Sennheiser MKE 440 is a compact, self-powered stereo shotgun microphone specifically designed for DSLR, mirrorless, and camcorder cameras to capture rich, immersive stereo sound for video production. Its primary design goal is to provide filmmakers, videographers, and content creators with an easy-to-use, high-quality solution for recording ambient environments, interviews, and events with authentic spatial imaging directly onto the camera. The microphone features two carefully angled condenser capsules in an XY stereo configuration within a single interference tube, allowing it to capture a natural, wide stereo image from a single mounting point without the complexity of setting up two separate microphones. This design provides a sense of depth and realism that mono microphones cannot achieve.

The MKE 440 is engineered for operational simplicity and mobility. It is powered by a single AA battery, offering extended recording time, and includes a low-cut filter switch to reduce low-frequency rumble from wind or handling noise. The microphone's compact and lightweight form factor minimizes strain on the camera's hot shoe mount while its integrated shock mount effectively isolates it from mechanical vibrations and handling noise transmitted through the camera body. It connects via a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack cable, making it universally compatible with cameras featuring a stereo mic input, and includes essential accessories like a foam windshield for basic wind protection.

Built with Sennheiser's renowned audio engineering, the MKE 440 delivers clear, balanced stereo audio with low self-noise, suitable for professional applications. It excels in run-and-gun documentary filmmaking, travel videography, event coverage, and any situation where capturing the natural ambience and spatial characteristics of a scene is crucial. By offering a plug-and-play stereo solution that significantly elevates onboard camera audio quality, it empowers solo shooters and small crews to produce videos with professional-grade sound without requiring complex external recorders or mixers.
