The easy-to-use Sennheiser MKE 200 microphone delivers a clear, crisp directional signal for cameras and mobile devices.
The Sennheiser MKE 200 microphone is an affordable instant upgrade for smartphone and camera audio
Sennheiser recently introduced a new compact microphone, the MKE 200, that is more than just yet another Rode VideoMicro clone. I paired it up with the Sony a7S III, GoPro HERO9, and iPhone to test its sound quality in this hands-on review. The Sennheiser MKE 200 measures in at 2.7 inches long, weighs 1.7 ounces, and features a super-cardioid microphone that focuses sound pickup from the front. The microphone capsule sits on top of an integrated shock mount which is itself housed inside the built-in perforated plastic wind shield we see from the exterior.
When it comes to premium audio accessories, Sennheiser is one of the most well-known names out there. The German company has come a long way since it started out in the 1940s.
Contemporary iPhones take some pretty great video, but the audio quality is often lacking. Take it to the next level with a high-quality microphone kit like this one from Sennheiser.
