Sennheiser MKE 400 On-Camera Shotgun Microphone – Compact. Directional. Professional.

Elevate your audio quality with the Sennheiser MKE 400 Camera-Mount Shotgun Microphone, a compact yet powerful solution for creators who demand crystal-clear, professional-grade sound. Designed specifically for DSLR and mirrorless cameras, this on-camera shotgun microphone delivers focused, directional audio that isolates your subject while minimizing background noise—ideal for vloggers, YouTubers, content creators, and mobile journalists.

At the heart of the MKE 400 is a highly directional super-cardioid condenser capsule, engineered to pick up sound from the front while rejecting side and rear noise. This makes it perfect for recording in noisy or outdoor environments, where clear voice capture is critical. The microphone also includes a built-in low-cut filter and a three-step gain sensitivity switch, allowing you to adapt to varying recording situations with ease—from quiet indoor interviews to loud, bustling outdoor shoots.

The MKE 400 features integrated wind protection and internal suspension mount to significantly reduce handling noise and wind interference. For even more rugged environments, the included MZH 400 furry windshield offers additional protection, ensuring distortion-free sound capture.

Compatibility is seamless, thanks to interchangeable locking 3.5mm TRS and TRRS cables, allowing you to connect the microphone to both cameras and smartphones. You can also monitor your audio in real-time using the onboard headphone output with volume control, ensuring optimal levels and peace of mind during recording.

Powered by two AAA batteries, the MKE 400 delivers up to 100 hours of runtime, making it perfect for long shoots without the hassle of frequent battery changes. Its compact and lightweight design (just 93.5g) ensures it won’t weigh down your gear.

Whether you’re creating travel vlogs, filming interviews, or documenting events, the Sennheiser MKE 400 is the ultimate camera microphone for those who prioritize audio clarity and portability.
