Sennheiser MKE 440 camera microphone

Elevate your video´s audio to a professional standard with the SENNHEISER MKE 440, a revolutionary stereo microphone designed specifically for DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Capture immersive, crystal-clear stereo sound that perfectly matches your visual narrative, bringing your audience directly into the scene. Unlike traditional on-camera microphones, the MKE 440 utilizes a unique and innovative dual-microphone design, delivering a sound experience with unmatched clarity and directional focus.

The core of the MKE 440 is its distinctive ´V-Stereo´ configuration, which features two precisely aligned mini shotgun microphones. This patented arrangement is engineered to capture audio from within the camer´s focal area, creating a sound picture that mirrors the visual frame. The result is an incredibly focused audio capture of your subject, with impressive rejection of distracting off-axis noise from the sides and rear. This makes it the ideal tool for isolating dialogue, interviews, and specific sound effects while minimizing ambient chatter and environmental noise, ensuring your intended audio source is always front and center.

Engineered for the demands of run-and-gun filmmaking, the MKE 440 is built to perform. An internal, rugged metal mesh suspension system provides superior shock absorption, effectively eliminating handling noise and structural vibrations transmitted through the camera body. For ultimate control in any recording environment, the microphone offers a three-level sensitivity adjustment, allowing you to perfectly match the audio input to both loud and quiet sources without distortion. Furthermore, a switchable low-cut filter is integrated to minimize wind rumble and other low-frequency interference, guaranteeing a clean and articulate recording even in challenging outdoor conditions.

Durability and user-friendliness are paramount. The MKE 440 is housed in a robust, all-metal chassis that is both lightweight and rugged enough to withstand the rigors of field production. It mounts securely to any standard camera cold shoe and connects via a coiled, tangle-free 3.5mm cable. Powered by two standard AAA batteries, it provides over 100 hours of operating time, with a convenient LED indicator that confirms power status and provides a low-battery warning. For journalists, vloggers, and filmmakers who demand audio that is as compelling as their visuals, the Sennheiser MKE 440 delivers broadcast-quality stereo sound directly in-camera, bridging the gap between picture and sound with breathtaking precision
