Elevate Your On-Camera Audio: Sennheiser MKE 200

The Sennheiser MKE 200 brings crisp, focused directional audio to mobile creators, videographers, and vloggers seeking an effortless upgrade over noisy internal camera and smartphone microphones.

Designed for portability and high audio clarity, the MKE 200 incorporates a supercardioid capsule that captures sound directly in front of the lens while attenuating distracting background ambient noise. Its clever internal design incorporates built-in wind protection and structural shock absorption within a sleek, lightweight chassis. Available now in our Sennheiser pro audio store catalog, this versatile mic is ready to capture professional dialogue anywhere your camera goes.
