Complete Shotgun Microphone Kit for Video, Film, and Field Recording

Looking for a high-quality, ready-to-use shotgun microphone kit for video production? This B&H Exclusive Kit includes everything you need to capture professional-grade audio for budget filmmaking, broadcasting, electronic news gathering (ENG), and on-location field recording with HDSLRs and camcorders.

At the heart of the kit is the Sennheiser MKE 600, a reliable shotgun microphone powered by either phantom power or a standard AA battery. With included accessories like a boompole, shockmounts, wind protection, cables, and a carry bag, this kit removes all the guesswork and lets you focus on recording clean, clear audio.

Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone

Step up your audio game with the Sennheiser MKE 600, an industry-trusted shotgun microphone designed to deliver focused directionality, low handling noise, and clear sound capture, ideal for indie films, interviews, vlogs, nature documentaries, and web content.

This mic uses a supercardioid/lobar polar pattern with an interference tube to isolate your subject and reject background noise. Whether you're capturing dialogue on a busy street or in a quiet studio, the MKE 600 gives you professional-level sound with minimal setup.

Battery or Phantom Power Options

One of the MKE 600’s standout features is its dual power design. You can run it using 48V phantom power through an XLR source like a mixer or field recorder, or use a single AA battery for up to 150 hours of operation, perfect for DSLR and mirrorless camera shooters. An on/off switch helps conserve battery, and a red LED alerts you when the battery is running low.

Built-In Low-Cut Filter and Natural Sound Profile

For cleaner recordings in noisy environments, the MKE 600 offers a natural low-end roll-off at 40Hz and a switchable low-cut filter at 100Hz to reduce rumble from traffic, HVAC systems, or footsteps. It also has a subtle treble boost to enhance speech clarity, especially helpful in interviews or dialogue-heavy scenes.

Flexible Mounting Options for Any Setup

The mic comes with a universal shoe/pole shockmount, making it easy to attach to cameras, tripods, or boom poles. Whether you're handheld, stationary, or using a rig, this setup accommodates every production style. You can also upgrade to the Rycote InVision INV-HG mkIII shockmount (sold separately) for added vibration isolation during boompole use.

Complete Kit for Filmmakers and Content Creators

This comprehensive kit goes beyond just the microphone. You get everything needed for high-quality audio capture on the go:

• Furry windshield and foam windscreen to minimize wind and plosives

• Auray DUSM-1 shockmount for flexible mounting on cameras and boompoles

• Auray pistol grip for handheld mic operation during run-and-gun shooting

• K-Tek KE-89CC aluminum boompole with internal XLR cable for extended reach and reduced cable clutter

• Auray neoprene boompole bag to carry and protect your gear

• Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR cables (20' and 1.5') for clean signal transfer

• Kopul XRSM XLR to 3.5mm TRS cable to connect directly to DSLR cameras

Engineered for Clean, Professional Audio

Every component in this kit is selected for noise resistance and durability. The Kopul cables feature 24 AWG oxygen-free copper, dual-spiral shielding, and gold-plated connectors to minimize EMI, RFI, and static interference, ideal for both studio and field applications.

The Auray professional windshield uses simulated rabbit fur and an open-cell foam interior to block wind noise while maintaining acoustic transparency. It fits snugly over most standard shotgun mics and delivers a 24 to 40 dB wind noise reduction, even in strong breezes.

Ready to Go Wherever You’re Shooting

Whether you're mounting the mic to your camera, holding it by hand, or extending it on a boom pole, this kit gives you professional flexibility without the need for extra gear. It’s a smart investment for independent filmmakers, YouTubers, news crews, and anyone serious about getting better location sound.
