Compact Shotgun Microphone

Capture clear audio with the Sennheiser MKE 400 Compact Shotgun On-Camera Microphone. It delivers focused sound for vloggers, content creators, mobile journalists, and videographers who need reliable audio wherever they record.

Focused Directional Audio

The MKE 400 uses a super-cardioid pickup pattern with an acoustic interference tube to capture clear, detailed sound from the front while reducing unwanted background noise. It helps your voice stand out with greater clarity and presence during every recording.

Clean Sound on the Move

Take the MKE 400 anywhere with confidence. Its integrated wind protection and internal suspension mount reduce wind interference and handling noise while you shoot. Attach the included furry windshield for stronger protection in outdoor conditions.

Compatible with Multiple Devices

Switch between cameras and mobile devices with ease. The microphone includes locking 3.5 mm TRS and TRRS cables, making it suitable for DSLR and mirrorless cameras as well as compatible smartphones.

Adjust to Any Recording Environment

Different locations demand different settings. The built-in low-cut filter removes unwanted low-frequency rumble and wind noise, while the three-step gain sensitivity switch helps you optimize recording levels for each environment.

Monitor Audio in Real Time

Check your sound before and during recording by connecting 3.5 mm headphones directly to the microphone. The integrated headphone output and built-in volume control let you monitor audio even when your camera does not include a headphone jack.

Built for Mobile Content Creation

The compact design mounts easily on cameras and smartphones, making it ideal for vlogging, interviews, mobile journalism, and on-location video production. When connected to compatible DSLR or mirrorless cameras, the microphone automatically powers on and off.

Also Available as a Mobile Kit

The MKE 400 is also available as the MKE 400 Mobile Kit, which includes the MKE 400 microphone, the Sennheiser Smartphone Clamp, and the Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod.
