4. Caution: The protective basket and pop shield must be completely dry when
you mount them on the microphone. Moisture can cause malfunctions or
damage to the capsule.
5. Connect the microphone only to microphone inputs and supply units that
provide 48V phantom powering in accordance with IEC 61938.
6. Do not attempt to open the product housing on your own. The warranty is
voided for products opened by the customer.
7. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the product has been damaged in any way, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the product, when the product has been exposed to
rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
8. Use the product only under the conditions of use listed in the specifications.
9. Let the product come to ambient temperature before switching it on.
10. Do not operate the product if it was damaged during transportation.

12. Keep the product and its connections away from liquids and electrically
conductive objects that are not necessary for operating the product.
13. Do not use any solvents or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the product.
14. Caution: Very high signal levels can damage your hearing and your loud-
speakers. Reduce the volume on the connected audio devices before
switching on the product; this will also help prevent acoustic feedback.

The MKE 600 shotgun microphone
The MKE 600 is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone able to hand-
le even demanding filmic challenges. Due to its high directivity, the MKE 600
picks up sounds coming from the direction in which the camera is pointing and
effectively attenuates noise coming from the sides and rear. The switchable
“Low Cut” filter additionally minimizes wind noise.
Because some video cameras/camcorders do not provide phantom power, the
MKE 600 can also be battery powered. A battery on/off switch prevents the
battery from discharging prematurely; “Low Batt” is displayed.
Features
• Pronounced directivity
• Maximal rejection of side noise
• Switchable “Low Cut” filter minimizes wind noise
• Phantom or battery powering
• Battery switch with “Low Batt” indicator
• Rugged all-metal housing
• Very good suppression of structure-borne noise
• Supplied with foam windshield, shockmount and adapter cable for cameras
with 3.5 mm jack connection

Putting the MKE 600 into operation
The MKE 600 offers a choice of phantom powering via the XLR connection or
internal battery powering.
P48 phantom powering via XLR connection
fConnect the XLR-3 socket (female) of the microphone cable to the XLR-3
socket (male) of the microphone 8.
fConnect the connector of the microphone cable to the video camera/cam-
corder or recording device. The LED 3provides the following information:
LED P48 phantom powering
grün switched on; the microphone is operational
If phantom powered via the XLR connection, the microphone is conti-
nuously in operation (the BATT ON/OFF battery switch has no function).
Internal battery powering
fUnscrew the lower part of the microphone body 5by turning it in the direc-
tion of the arrow.
fInsert a battery/rechargeable battery (AA size, 1.5 V/1.2 V). Observe correct
polarity when inserting the battery.
fScrew the lower part of the microphone body 5back to the microphone by
turning it in the direction of the arrow.
