Description

Description

Small-sized directional microphone with built-in capabilities for improved on-camera sound.

The MKE 400 from Sennheiser is a compact, highly directional shotgun microphone for cameras, designed to isolate and enhance the sound of your video. 

Like the MKE 200, the MKE 400 includes an integrated windscreen and shock mount, while offering even more features to ensure the best possible recordings.


Record with confidence

A three-step sensitivity switch gives the MKE 400 the ability to deliver distortion-free sound in any environment, and a switchable low-cut filter focuses your sound on the most essential frequencies for speech clarity and intelligibility.


Versatile

The 3.5 mm locking cables offer compatibility with DSLR/M cameras or portable devices, and a convenient headphone output allows you to monitor your sound while recording.

Focus on Your Sound

The MKE 400 features a supercardioid polar pattern achieved by an interference acoustic tube, providing focus and detail while rejecting unwanted ambient noise.

Ideal for both vloggers and videographers, this highly directional microphone will enhance your sound and bring clarity and sharpness to your recordings.

Features

  • Power supply battery (size 2xAAA / LR03, 1.5 V)
  • Sensitivity at 1 kHZ: -23 / -42 / -63 dB V / Pa
  • Operating time more than 100 hours
  • Frequency response: 50 to 20,000 Hz
  • Pick-up Pattern: Super-cardioid
  • Max. SPL at 1 kHz: 132 dB SPL
  • Low cut filter: 200 Hz
  • Gain: -20 / 0 / +20

Dimensions: 

  • 126 x 67 x 37 mm

Weight:

  • 93.5 grams

The package includes

Mode of Operation
Condenser (Small Diaphragm)

Mode of Operation

Condenser (Small Diaphragm)
Very accurate and fast in response. Suitable for instruments with detail and high frequencies (acoustic guitar, piano, overheads).
Directivity
Shotgun

Directivity

Shotgun

Unidirectional with enhanced forward response. Suitable for stages, television or film sets, as well as for recording from a long distance.
Frequency
50 - 20000 Hz

Frequency

Indicates the frequency range that a microphone can capture and is expressed in Hertz (Hz). The more balanced the range, the more natural and clear the sound.

Usage examples:

  • 100 – 10,000 Hz to 200 – 12,000 Hz: Emphasis on speech intelligibility, with limited low and very high frequencies.
  • 50 – 14,000 Hz to 80 – 16,000 Hz: Balance of volume and clarity. Ideal for live performances and dynamic microphones.
  • 40 – 15,000 Hz to 50 – 18,000 Hz: Rich, natural vocal sound. Suitable for podcasts, radio, and streaming.
  • 20 – 18,000 Hz to 20 – 20,000 Hz: Full spectrum with high detail and "air". Ideal for studio recording.
  • Below 20 Hz & above 20,000 Hz: Extended technical range for specialized studio applications.
Max SPL
132 dB

Max SPL

Max SPL (Maximum Sound Pressure Level) is the maximum sound pressure level (in dB) that a microphone can withstand before it starts to distort the sound.

  • High Max SPL (e.g., 140-160dB): Ideal for recording loud sources such as drums, amplified guitar, or live concerts.
  • Lower Max SPL (e.g., 120dB): Suitable for vocals and softer recordings.

The higher the Max SPL, the louder the sounds it can capture without distortion.
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
63 dB

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)

Indicates the difference between the useful signal and the microphone's noise. The higher the value in dB, the clearer the sound. A microphone with a low SNR may sound “noisy,” especially in quiet environments or when recording low-volume sounds. On the other hand, a high SNR means that noise is minimal compared to the sound you want to capture, offering a more professional, clear, and detailed result—ideal for studio, vocals, or high-quality recording.

  • 35 – 60 dB (Low SNR): Noticeable noise is present. Suitable for casual use or loud sources.
  • 60 – 90 dB (Medium SNR): Good signal-to-noise balance. Suitable for live performances and general use.
  • 90 – 110 dB (High SNR): Very clear signal with minimal noise. Ideal for studio, vocals, and high-quality recording.
