Good review. A small point: Sennheiser is a German company and they use the German pronunciation of their name in their marketing worldwide. It’s pronounced like Zennheiser, with a Z sound at the beginning.
Interesting. I will wait for the 2nd generation. The product is at least 6 years in the market and I agree the lack of screw in cable and auto off/on is anoying.
Good review! My concern is that its not possible to connect headphones to the MKE 440 mic for checking the sound levels etc. Unfortenately my camera has no separate input for headphones. Only one input for mic. Is there any way to solve this (except buy a new camera)?
Interesting mic. I shoot a lot of motorsports where I am trying to isolate someone talking with cars sounds around subject. How do you think it would fair with something like that?
very good job
I couldn't tell much of a difference with the concert samples (with headphones), it was subtle, but the talking head samples were much more noticeable, it had depth and separation with the ambience with the 440.
ok i'm sold!
I have this mic and can confirm that this is the effect it creates. That you're in the middle of what your filming in terms of audio 🙂
amazing video!!
The Røde VideoMic X is missing in this comparison the condenser capsules on the VideoMic X sold separately are much more expensive than in this astonishingly well build XY-Stereo-System, theres a guitar player on UA-cam showcasing the VideoMic X in XLR configuration and its mind-/earblowing! And I guess what we are all waiting for is an ultra compact MKE400 II design lineup version plus integrated MS-Surround System… a real 3D-Stereo plus clear voice separation three channel microphone, plus a real condenser version of those as follow up of the Røde VideoMic X.
Great review! You hit all the marks on what one needs to know. The A-B-C audio comparisons were the most helpful. Thanks! Big thumbs up from me.
Great demo clips. I could clearly hear the immersiveness of the MKE-440 on my monitor speakers - whow, what a difference.
I've had this mic for several years and it's been amazing. People often comment about the sounds on the videos it's been used for. It also takes a beating. The only issue I've had is the battery door not always making proper contact and the mic not working. With the dead cat on you can't always see if the green light is on. It's led to missed audio.
You have really helped me with this extremely well presented review. Thank you very much for this.
Great vid this is what makes UA-cam so great to pick out tech. If these were all in a store it would be impossible to make a well informed pick.
Very nice presentation! Thank you! I have some Sennheiser microphones now and I will be slowly a fun from them...
Top review, getting one of these I think for live music video streaming. Thanks 🙏
I bought this mike upon your recomendaten - it's awesome as promised!
Glad i found your review. Been looking to get one for years but the thought of the cables hardwired in worries me a lot when it comes to longevity (cable breaking etc). Hows your experience thus far after a year owning the microphone?
THX. I own the 440 and love it. A next version should have the cable and the on-switch on the back but that´s all I could complain about. (with a short lens and in bright sunlight you may miss when the cable hangs right across the lens....). The 400 is likely my next pick, with a Zoom F1 and unclippable extreme lightweight combo.
