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

The K6 powering module is the heart of this Sennheiser professional modular microphone system and can be powered either by its internal ‘AA’ size 1.5 V battery or by 12 – 48 V phantom power. The K6 can be combined with different condenser microphone heads to provide a wide variety of polar patterns. Matt black, anodised scratch-resistant finish.
