Description

The Sennheiser ME66 is a short shotgun microphone capsule specifically designed for use with the K6 powering module, creating a versatile condenser microphone system. Because of its high-quality performance, it is suitable for various professional applications, including reporting, film, and broadcast location work.

Key Features:

• Super-Cardioid/Lobar Polar Pattern: Since the ME66 capsule features a highly directional pickup pattern, it effectively isolates the desired sound source while minimizing background noise and feedback.
• Wide Frequency Response: With a range of 40 Hz to 20,000 Hz (±2.5 dB), it delivers natural and clear audio reproduction across a broad spectrum. Therefore, it is ideal for capturing a wide range of sounds with precision.
• High Sensitivity: The microphone provides a sensitivity of 50 mV/Pa (±2.5 dB) at 1 kHz, ensuring detailed sound capture, even from softer sources. This makes it perfect for quieter recording environments.
• Low Self-Noise: Because of its equivalent noise level of 10 dB (A-weighted), it ensures clean audio recordings with minimal background hiss, which is critical for professional-quality sound.
• Durable Construction: The ME66 capsule is built with a matte black, anodized, scratch-resistant finish. As a result, it offers durability for rugged field use.

K6 Powering Module:

• Power Options: The K6 module supports power from an internal 1.5V AA battery or external 12-48V phantom power, offering flexibility in different recording setups.
• Switchable Bass Roll-Off Filter: This feature reduces low-frequency noise, such as handling or wind noise, which enhances overall audio clarity.
• On/Off Switch with Battery Test: The module includes an on/off switch with a battery test function, allowing users to monitor battery status easily and stay prepared.
