Sennheiser MKE 200 Compact On-Camera Directional Microphone for DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras

Sennheiser MKE 200 Ultracompact On-Camera Directional Microphone

Upgrade your mobile or camera-based video rig with the Sennheiser MKE 200, an ultracompact and lightweight directional microphone designed to instantly improve audio quality without adding bulk. Whether you're filming vlogs, quick interviews, or mobile content in busy environments, the MKE 200 delivers clear, focused sound in a plug-and-play format.

Built for Portability and Simplicity

Measuring just 2.7 inches long and weighing only 1.7 ounces, the MKE 200 is one of the most compact on-camera microphones available. Its built-in shoe mount attaches directly to cameras or smartphone rigs, making it an easy addition that won’t block your shot or weigh you down. It's ideal for vloggers, content creators, and mobile journalists who need professional sound in a small, durable form.

Directional Sound That Cuts Through the Noise

Unlike omnidirectional built-in mics that capture everything around you, the MKE 200 features a supercardioid directional pickup pattern. This helps it focus on the subject directly in front of the camera, reducing unwanted background noise from the sides and rear. Combined with low-noise electronics and a high-quality condenser capsule, the MKE 200 ensures your audio is clean, crisp, and far more detailed than what built-in camera or phone mics can capture.

Reliable, Battery-Free Operation

The MKE 200 runs on plug-in power (2 to 10V), so there are no batteries to manage, swap, or charge. Just connect it to your camera, smartphone, or tablet, and it's ready to go. This makes it a hassle-free choice for creators who want great sound without dealing with extra equipment or power concerns.

Ready for Any Device

To make sure you're equipped for any shooting setup, the MKE 200 includes two locking 3.5mm audio cables. One cable ends in a standard TRS plug for connecting to cameras and audio recorders, while the other features a TRRS plug for smartphones and tablets. The locking design prevents accidental disconnections, keeping your audio secure during shoots.

Built-In Wind Protection and Internal Shock Mount

Designed for use in real-world environments, the MKE 200 includes integrated wind protection that helps block out breezes and background noise from fans or air conditioners. For outdoor shoots, the included furry windshield adds even more protection against wind. Inside the mic, an internal suspension system isolates the capsule from vibrations and handling noise, ensuring cleaner recordings even when you're on the move.

The Sennheiser MKE 200 is a compact, rugged, and intelligently designed microphone that offers a significant upgrade in sound quality for creators using cameras or smartphones. With directional audio pickup, plug-and-play usability, and accessories included for flexible setups, it’s a reliable audio tool for any mobile video production.
