Overview

The Sennheiser MKE 200 Mobile Kit bundles the compact MKE 200 directional microphone with essential accessories for mobile content creation. The microphone itself uses a supercardioid condenser capsule that focuses on sound directly in front of it while rejecting noise from the sides, delivering significantly cleaner audio than any built-in camera or phone microphone. An internal suspension mount decouples the capsule from the housing to minimize handling noise, rumble, and vibrations — a feature typically found on larger, more expensive shotgun microphones. The included furry windshield adds effective outdoor wind protection, so you can record in parks, streets, and other exposed locations without excessive noise.

What makes this the Mobile Kit is the inclusion of a Manfrotto PIXI Mini Tripod and Sennheiser's own smartphone clamp, turning the package into a complete grab-and-go recording setup. The interchangeable TRS and TRRS cables ensure compatibility across DSLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, smartphones, and tablets with 3.5mm audio inputs. The microphone requires no batteries, drawing its power from the connected device, which keeps the setup lightweight and eliminates the risk of running out of charge mid-shoot. The entire kit fits into the included carrying pouch, making it a practical companion for vloggers, podcasters, journalists, and anyone producing content outside a studio.
