Preparing over the winter for a Film Project in the summer and assessing my options for a camera, gimbal and microphone and you've touched up on pretty much all of the exact equipment I'm interested in. Straight forward, easy going and not a typical UA-camr. Thanks so much!
Thanks for another great video Tamara, I like your delivery and style :-) I've just used both mic's filming wildlife in Africa for the last 6 months. The MKE400 is too noisy unfortunately, the internal ambient noise it produces is quite high. However its auto on/off feature is so awesome! They are both quite robust, they both got dropped/monopod fell over with the camera crushing them and still work fine. I'm switching the MKE 400 out for the Sony ECM-G1 Shotgun Microphone as on my Sony 200-600 lens camera its filming wildlife that doesn't often make much noise, and I'm filming within the cab of a Land Rover, so size of the rig when its mounted is more useful than audio quality of silence ;-) Keep them coming if you can! Darrin
you noticed that the MKE400 reviewers don't talk about the high self noise of the MKE400. That's the nature of the game, they are just promoters of the products they are reviewing.
Wonderful video! I'm just starting to do some research for getting my first external microphone, and this was very useful. Really nicely put together video, too :)
Hi Tamara! thank you for sharing your thoughts on these two mics, we have been lookings to choose between the 400 and 200 for our Outdoor Activities/travel Vlogs. We love the size of the 200 so it doesn't attract too much attraction but the question I want to ask is... When you are editing the video and you have headphones on, can you actually tell the difference between 200 and 400 in windy conditions? Thanks!
Well done on the vid! Great editing, presentation, pacing, shooting, mixing-everything! Agreed, the 400 sounds way better, but the batteries is a deal breaker for me. Thinking I'd prefer the Rode since it seems to have really great sound for the price, doesn't need batteries, and the other features like being able to use it through USB as a desktop mic for example.
That ending caught me off guard and I jumped in my seat 😂 first vid of yours I've seen, love the editing style and composure you have on camera. Great work. Subbed because of the ending haha!
Oh wow, after you switched to the 400, going back to the 200 sounds really tinny and harsh in a way I didn't notice before. The 400 sounds great. Thanks for sharing
I’ve been using a MKE 200 on a GoPro 10 for some time. I found the sound quite tinny, I then tried the MKE 400 found a huge difference I now sound like The Jolly Green Giant when taking behind the camera & the general quality in front has depth which was missing before. Thanks for your video.
Wow, you're making my head spin TG! I already have an MKE400 but it's massively different to the one here as it's over 12 years old. I was thinking of getting the Rode Go II but now I shall certainly wait for your comparison review, as the new MKE400 does sound quite a bit better than the 200. Agreed about the whole battery faff, but the 'auto switch on' sounds brilliant. I've tried my ancient 'finger-like' MKE400 with the GoPro on the Media Mod but it gets into shot, and I'd rather just one mic for both the 'big' camera and the action cam. A quality vlog as always - many thanks!
I think if you’re wanting it for your GoPro as well, you’d be better off with the MKE 200 as the 400 gets in the shot, especially with the deadcat on. The 200 sounds good with the GoPro, I used it in the recent Bath vlog about the Volta. That’s the mic I always use with my GoPro.
Thank you. Yes I was using the deadcat on both mics when recording. No post processing, other than bringing the audio levels up to about -9dB as they were hovering around -15dB.
Oh the MKE-400 finally made me happy about an on-camera mic, its sound quality is wonderful, the deadcat is compact, the back of it doesn't prod into my forehead when I've got my eye to the viewfinder and the auto on/off is very helpful. Need more oomph? Just drop a compressor filter onto the audio.
Hi, again amazing video. I love to look at them. I have a question, maybe you might be able to help me. You said that you record ambiance with that. Do you think it would be possible to record hiking (only natire sound amd walking, without talking) with MKE 200 connected to some action camera? Would it make difference?
Do you find yourself really adding db to the mke200? I’m using one with my iPhone 15 pro but it’s really low I feel I need to bump up the DB quite a lot of
@@TamaraGabrielUK I will be buying the MK400, I already own the MK200, I love it…but I have noticed an issue that you clarified for me, it is best to do the gain in the mic not the camera.
Tamara there seems to be a lot of sony users saying this mic has a lot of background hiss or noise when shooting in quite environments. I even watched one reviewer demonstrate this in his studio. He said it was fine to use when there was some ambient noise to mask this.
It's not something I've experienced, it will also depend on what audio record level the camera is set to, the higher it is the more the noise floor will be audible. Because there's a +20dB gain on the mic, I have that on and the audio record levels in the camera very low.
Hi Tamara do you find the mk400 slightly less sensitive than the rodes ? I had a mk400 to try out and it was 20db quieter on many tests .(as in at +20 on the mk400 registered at about the same as the rode pro+ set at zero
My 66-year old ears could barely hear any difference Tamara. Perhaps if I were to listen on my Mac through studio speakers (KRK Rokit 5s) I could better detect the difference. It goes without saying but I’ll say it anyway - another enjoyable watch! 💜
I would love the MKE400 did it not have one very big flaw. Never have your camera or recorder connected to any mains power supply or your computer. It has a terrible hum. I got two of these mics, Sennheiser confirmed it is how it was designed. So I returned one. I can not use it in a "studio-like" environment. If you only use it on battery operated cameras, it is okay. This is a bummer, because it is a very good sounding and compact size microphone. But that hum is a dealbreaker if you ever want to charge your camera or smartphone while recording. No other mic I have has this issue.
I have a little studio experience with Sennheiser microphones and I'd say, personally, I prefer the 400 over the 200 as you present them. Not having read the specs as I type this, I'd say the 400 has a wider dynamic range given the richness I perceive at my end. The 200 appears to be aimed more at sibilence or higher end of the spectrum. I would personally use the 200 in studio vs the 400 in outdoor-sy environments. 'H' and 'S' sounds seem more bright with the 200 where they're more muted with the 400. But that's me. I prefer the lower end of the spectrum short of 'boom-ey-woom-ey' sounds. So, in short? 200 for action and catch your attention sets and 400 for rich, intimate insightful sets. Sorry to go on like this, but I have an interest in sound...🤔
Your voice is always good to listen to, but there is certainly some improvement with the new mic, although the lack of rechargeable battery is a drawback, I think. Here in New Zealand we've just moved into summer, but that misty day made me feel rather nostalgic for the English winters I used to know.
My goodness. My heart jumped to my mouth when your camera went at the end! I love the mke400. It also has good side rejection. Definitely more full sounding than my mke200. One thing with that high pass filter though is that it seems to affect my voice more than it does yours. It’s not massively different on your voice. When I switch it in, I sound quite thin and tinny. Must be voice.
Hi Tamara, first of all thank you very much for this great comparison. Appreciate it! I‘ve noticed that when using the MKE 200 on my GoPro 11 the sound in the footage goes up and down in volume. It seems that the MKE 200 turns the record volume down in some situations. Have you experienced something like this?
@@TamaraGabrielUK thanks for your answer! The Audio settings are set to „Standard Mic“ (default). Maybe my mic has a problem or the surrounding noises have been the cause. I will try again with a different setting and/or surrounding. Thank you! ☺️
Based on your video looks like mke 200 is more practical for vlogging with descent sound and lightweight. But for more professional setup richer sound mke 400 is the way to go?
The MKE 400 is the one I use with my A7s III and the MKE 200 is the one I use with smaller cameras when I want to use a shotgun mic with, say, the Sony ZV-1 M2, or in the past the GoPro HERO11. But yeay, the MKE 400 has a slightly richer sound I find.
@TamaraGabrielUK would you choose mke 200 or the rode go II? Here in Canada the mke 200 with small tripod around $120 CAD while the rode go II only is around $140 CAD. I do vlog videos and indoor setup videos usually interview style which one would you recommend for such setup?
@gilbertgk Honestly, either would be a good shout. I guess the Rode GO II has the versatility of being able to plug in via USB-C as well as 3.5mm. Whereas the MKE 200 is only 3.5mm, but it’s my preference because of how much more compact it is.
Which one in particular? I used the H4n for a long time with my Rode NTG4+, and that sounded good, but I now use the Zoom F6 with the NTG4+ which is great. If you’re going to be recording VOs check out the Shure SM7B, it’s sounds so good, but you’d need a cloud lifter and audio interface like the Zoom F6 or the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 if recording on your laptop or PC.
@@TamaraGabrielUK great information, that you. I'm still researching how to set it up. thanks for suggesting the Shure, that one did come up in my research too! I don't know much about an interface but reasearching that as well #newbie 😂
I have the mke 400 and Sony a7siii same as you, have you ever had the mic stop recording by itself while you're filming? This happened to me multiple times and it's super annoying due to the automatic turn on feature when you turn the camera on, it turns on yes, but also automatically turns off 😂 wonder if there's a fix
Nice review! I had some gift cards and went with the ECM-B10, mainly because of the connection with Sony and that's what I use the majority of the time for videos. I like not having to worry about the battery. That being said, the MKE 200 was going to be what I went with if I didn't have the gift cards. Obviously, I'm limited and can't use it with my Action 3 but that's where the Rode Wireless GO II comes into play. At some point I feel like I just keep gathering more and more video/audio equipment because of your reviews, I guess you can never have enough toys! Great review as always!
I actually prefer the removable batteries, because if I’m filming and the battery dies, I have to wait to recharge the 200 or Rode mics, but with the MKE400 I just drop another set of batteries and keep filming. No waiting for recharge is huge for me when I’m on the go.
Agreed. I am done with internal batteries for my shotgun mics. My Deity D3 Pro battery strength starting getting weak and now takes twice as long to recharge and now my Rode Videomic NTG battery life is starting to lose its potency. For the MKE 400 I just bought some rechargeable AAA batteries and I got a mic that would last a lifetime.
These mic are attach onto your camera which is 5-10ft away from you. I rather use a lav mic that clip on my shirt so it doesn't get so much noises from surrounding
Yeah, I thought it would be a pain for me in the beginning but it’s honestly not. The battery life has a crazy duration, it’s about 100 hours. It’s become one of my favourite mics now.
The low cut switch is not for the voice, it has nothing to do, is just to cut down the low frequencies. Is about to remove some muddiness in the sound, the low frequencies that usually we don´t need. Is has absolutely nothing to do with isolate or remove noise. It this happen to you is just a coincidence and your audio had too much low frequencies.
Thanks for watching and thanks for the support. The AAA batteries put me off at first too but it doesn’t bother me so much now as the batteries last such a long time, around 100 hours.
what Tamara didn't mention in the review are the following cons of MKE400: 1. high self noise (40db) at the +20db gain 2. low output volume with the above 2 points, it's not considered a perfect mic even if it had rechargeable batteries.
