Sennheiser – ME-66 Highly Directional Shotgun Mic

Sennheiser - ME-66 Highly Directional Shotgun Mic

The ME 66 is a short gun microphone head designed for use with the K6 and K6P powering modules. It is especially suitable for reporting, film and broadcast location applications and for picking up quiet signals in noisy or acoustically live environments as it discriminates against sound not emanating from the main pick-up direction. Matt black, anodised, scratch-resistant finish.

Features

  • Super-cardioid/lobar pick-up pattern
  • Low inherent self-noise
  • High sensitivity
  • Highly directional – Ideal for picking up quiet signals in noisy environments
  • Wide frequency response for authentic sound
