Features & Specifications
Product Overview +
High-Performance Vlogging System Type
The Sennheiser MKE 400 (2nd Gen) is a professional camera-mount shotgun system designed to solve the challenge of capturing broadcast-quality audio in a compact, run-and-gun format. Measuring just 5" long, it provides a massive upgrade over internal microphones by utilizing a highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern. Whether you are a vlogger in a crowded urban market or a mobile journalist in the field, the MKE 400 ensures your voice remains the focal point of the 1080p or 4K video capture.
Professional Mobile Connection Type
Equipped with a locking 3.5mm connection type, the MKE 400 acts as a versatile bridge between traditional cinema hardware and mobile devices. The included TRS and TRRS coiled cables ensure that production teams in Pakistan, the UAE, and across Africa can pivot instantly between smartphone-based reporting and professional DSLR setups. This modularity, combined with the auto-power function that senses when the camera is active, provides a streamlined workflow for creators who cannot afford to miss a moment due to audio technicalities.
Specialized Field Engineering
The MKE 400 (2nd Gen) solves the problem of environmental noise through dual-layered protection. Its internal acoustic design provides built-in wind protection for indoor breezes, while the included furry windshield manages high-velocity outdoor wind. With its low-cut filter to eliminate HVAC rumble and its high-sensitivity condenser element, this microphone provides the technical reliability and structural simplicity required for elite-level professional audio captures in any environment.
