Access Privileges: Must have taken Sight and Sound II (FMMC 0335) or Sound Aesthetics and Production (FMMC 0346)

Overview:

Ideally suited for mounting on camcorders due to its integrated shoe assembly, the MKE-300 is compact and extremely lightweight (2.1 oz.). Given its super-cardioid polar pattern, the MKE-300 has the ability to pick up only those sounds that correspond to the scene being filmed and rejects any disturbing ambient noise. This high directivity also attenuates the sounds made by a camcorder’s autofocus and zoom motors.

The microphone’s suspension mount assembly and integrated windscreen virtually eliminates handling and wind noise. Achieving operating times of over 200 hours using its own built in battery
