Sennheiser ME66 Supercardioid Shotgun Mic

The Sennheiser ME66 is a super-cardioid short shotgun microphone capsule built for professional audio on set and in the field. Its tightly directional pickup pattern rejects sound from the sides while favoring what's directly in front of the mic, and a wide 40-20,000 Hz frequency response keeps dialogue and ambient sound detailed and accurate.

Paired with the K6 power module, the capsule can run off a single AA battery or external phantom power, screwing together to expose the XLR output. Its compact size makes it easy to mount on a camera or boom pole, and it's a common choice for run-and-gun video, ENG/EFP work, interviews, and voice-over recording.
