The MKE 600 gun microphone
The MKE 600 is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone able to
handle 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 and shock mount

XLR-3 socket (male) of the microphone 6.
왘Connect the connector of the microphone cable to the video
camera/camcorder or recording device.
The LED 3provides the following information:
Internal battery powering
왘Unscrew the lower part of the microphone body 5by turning it in
the direction of the arrow.
왘Insert a battery/rechargeable battery (AA size, 1.5 V/1.2 V).
Observe correct polarity when inserting the battery.
왘Screw the lower part of the microphone body 5back to the micro-
phone by turning it in the direction of the arrow.
왘Set the battery switch 4to ON to switch the internal battery on
or set the battery switch to OFF to switch the battery power off.
The LED 3provides the following information:
