Sennheiser MKE 300 Instructions for Use - Page 5

MKE 300 directional video microphone MKE 300 is a light-weight electret condenser microphone, especially designed for video cameras. The MKE 300 microphone is mounted to the video camera using the clip destined for carrying the film lamp. Once placed in this clip, MKE 300 with a lobar polar pattern preferrably records sound coming from the object to be filmed. Due to the elastic suspension of the internal microphone system, transmission of structure-born noise resulting from handling the camera is drastically reduced. The permanently mounted windscreen effectively suppresses wind noise when recording outdoors. The MKE 300 has an integrated power supply, using a LR 44 batterywhitch offers an operating time of apporx.200 hours. If not used constantly, remove battery !
