MKE 300
The MKE300 is a compact and lightweight microphone especially designed for video cameras.
Its tight, supercardioid polar pattern ensures high directivity and attenuates the sounds
made by the autofocus and zoom motors now found on almost all video cameras. The electret
condenser microphone element delivers sonic clarity and high output. Connection to video
cameras is via an integrated shoe assembly and 1/8" plug.
Features—Benefits
• High directivity
• Sprung-mounted capsule ensures effective suppression
• Integral power supply using an LR 44 battery
• On/off switch with battery status indication
• Flashmount adapter
• Quality sound with picture
