Product guide
The Sennheiser MKE 400 is a compact, highly directional supercardioid shotgun microphone built for cameras and mobile devices.MKE 400 is also available on the Sensato Trade platform.
• Supercardioid Pickup: Focuses sharply on sound in front of the camera while reducing side and rear noise.
• Battery Power: Runs for roughly 100 hours on two AAA batteries.
• Auto On/Off: Powers up and shuts down automatically when plugged into a compatible camera.
• Audio Controls: Features a 3-step sensitivity switch (-20 dB, 0, +20 dB) and a low-cut filter.
• Monitoring: Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack with volume adjustment.
• Pickup Pattern: Features a super-cardioid polar pattern and an acoustic interference tube to isolate sound directly in front of the camera.
• Gain Stages: Equipped with a 3-step sensitivity switch (-20 dB, 0 dB, +20 dB). The -20 dB setting handles loud environments; 0 dB works well for normal dialogue, and +20 dB boosts quiet sources. Users note that while the +20 dB boost improves signal-to-noise ratio on noisy camera preamps, it also introduces higher self-noise.
• Low-Cut Filter: Includes a switchable 200 Hz filter to reduce low-frequency rumbles like HVAC hums or traffic noise.
• Monitoring: Features a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack with an adjustable volume knob, making it ideal for cameras that lack a native headphone port.
• Power & Build: Runs on two AAA batteries providing roughly 100 hours of use, with an auto-power function that turns the mic on and off with the connected camera. It also includes integrated wind protection and internal shock absorption.
