Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone and Rycote Super-Blimp Windshield Kit

Sennheiser MKE 600 with Rycote Super-Blimp Kit: Professional Audio for Video, Film, and Broadcast

Capturing high-quality sound is just as important as getting the perfect shot, especially in professional video and film production. Whether you're working on set, in the field, or shooting interviews outdoors, this B&H kit delivers a reliable and polished audio solution. It combines the Sennheiser MKE 600 shotgun microphone with the Rycote Super-Blimp NTG system to give you clean, directional sound and dependable protection against wind, handling noise, and environmental interference.

At the heart of this kit is the Sennheiser MKE 600, a highly directional shotgun microphone that runs on either phantom power or a single AA battery. It's designed for content creators, videographers, and field recordists who need better sound than what camera microphones can provide. The MKE 600 isolates your subject by rejecting off-axis noise, making it ideal for interviews, documentaries, or narrative films where focus and clarity are critical. Its lightweight metal construction and compact form factor make it a natural fit for cameras, tripods, or boompoles, offering versatility across a wide range of production setups.

One of the standout features of the MKE 600 is its low-noise circuitry combined with high sensitivity, allowing you to capture detailed sound without overdriving your camera’s noisy preamps. It offers a broad frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz and includes a switchable low-cut filter at 100 Hz, which helps reduce low-end rumble from background noise such as traffic, HVAC systems, or footsteps. Even without the filter engaged, the mic naturally rolls off sub-bass to prevent muddy recordings.

This kit also includes an XLR to 3.5mm TRS adapter cable, letting you plug the mic into DSLRs or mirrorless cameras that don’t have XLR inputs. If your setup supports phantom power, you’re good to go. If not, just pop in a single AA battery for up to 150 hours of operation. A low-battery indicator gives you plenty of warning, and the power switch helps conserve battery life between takes.

To help you capture clean audio in real-world environments, this kit adds the Rycote Super-Blimp NTG windshield system. It’s designed for shotgun mics measuring around 11 inches in length, including the MKE 600, and offers professional-grade protection against wind and vibration. Inside the Super-Blimp is a Rycote 90° XLR connector with built-in RF shielding to prevent interference from nearby electronics. The system uses Rycote’s Lyre suspension to isolate the mic from handling noise and impacts, while the included windjammer dramatically cuts down on wind noise, making it ideal for outdoor shoots.

Everything about this setup is built for ease and efficiency. The Super-Blimp includes a pistol grip with a ratchet-style boom adapter for quick and secure adjustments. Quick-release pods make removing the mic from the basket fast and frustration-free. Whether you’re filming in unpredictable weather, dealing with fast-paced environments, or simply need professional-grade sound in challenging conditions, this kit is designed to meet the demands of real production work.

Compatible with a range of industry-standard shotgun microphones—including the Sennheiser MKH 416 and Rode NTG series—the Rycote Super-Blimp offers long-term flexibility as your audio needs grow. Paired with the MKE 600, it delivers the clarity, durability, and control serious filmmakers and sound professionals expect from their gear.

This combination isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a full solution for anyone ready to level up their on-location sound.
