Sennheiser Off-Camera Streaming Audio Kit

Capture Broadcast-Quality Audio Without a Visible Mic

If you’re creating video content, streaming live, or recording a podcast and want professional sound without having a microphone clutter your frame, the Off-Camera Streaming Audio Kit from B&H is a game-changer. Carefully assembled by our audio specialists, this kit provides everything you need to elevate your production value while keeping your setup clean and camera-friendly.

At the heart of the kit is the Sennheiser MKE 600, a highly regarded shotgun microphone designed to deliver crisp, directional audio with minimal background noise. Whether you’re filming interviews, streaming on Twitch, or producing long-form YouTube videos, the MKE 600 ensures your voice comes through with clarity and presence, even when the mic is mounted off-camera.

The MKE 600 is known for its focused pickup pattern, making it ideal for capturing speech while rejecting ambient sound from the sides and rear. Its interference tube design and supercardioid/lobar polar pattern help isolate your voice, giving your recordings a polished, professional sound right out of the box. This makes it perfect for recording in untreated rooms, busy environments, or any situation where audio quality matters.

Built for flexibility, the mic can be powered via standard 48V phantom power or a single AA battery, offering up to 150 hours of runtime—ideal for field use or mobile setups. With a lightweight yet rugged metal housing, the MKE 600 is built to withstand the demands of regular production work without adding bulk to your gear.

To support a wide range of setups, this kit also includes a USB audio interface that works seamlessly with both Mac and Windows computers, letting you plug directly into your streaming or recording software. A sturdy tripod stand with a telescoping boom arm makes it easy to position the mic just out of frame for clean video compositions. The included thread adapter and XLR cable ensure reliable and secure connections whether you're using a mic preamp, audio interface, or recorder.

Another standout feature is the mic’s ability to manage low-end noise. It has a natural roll-off below 40 Hz to reduce unwanted rumble, and a selectable low-cut filter at 100 Hz to tame additional low-frequency disturbances like HVAC systems or street noise. This built-in control lets you focus on your performance without worrying about fixing audio issues in post.

The MKE 600 also ships with a foam windscreen to reduce wind and plosive noise during indoor recordings. For even better protection in outdoor or high-wind environments, it’s compatible with professional windshields like the Rycote Super-Softie or full blimp systems (sold separately).

Whether you're a content creator, filmmaker, or live streamer looking to capture studio-quality audio with an off-camera setup, this kit has you covered. It’s a complete, ready-to-use solution designed to help you sound as professional as you look, without the hassle of complicated gear.
