After you added EQ I actually liked the way they both sounded. I would have been happier with either. Listening to both side by side it's easy to hear that the 400 is fuller and sounds better but the 200 is still impressive in my opinion. I think if I had only been exposed to the 200 after some EQ I would have been pleasantly surprised. Thanks for this comparison!
@@vistekI like the 400 better in the situation you tested. But I need one for mother in law to up her instructional paper items making videos. And the price point for the 200 is better, but above all.. no batteries for her to have to deal with.. aka letting me do it 😂 and that my friend is worth so much more 😅
I have the 400 and love it. The small size and now that the 200 is on sale for 89 instead of 99 means I'll pick it up for my indoor use. Super excited to get it.
Great video. I'd love to know your thoughts on the RODE VideoMic GO II compared to the Sennheiser MKE 200. They both seem like excellent options for under €100 - I managed to snag the VideoMic GO II this week secondhand for €70 and honestly at that price point for mostly isolated indoor recording, it's kind of mindblowlingly good. I'm excited to try it outdoors at somepoint, but for 90% of my current videos it largely fulfills my needs.
Finally someone reviews it in-depth and the freq. curve chart. Well done Lol the MKE-200 No wonder it's good in wind, roll-off from 400hz .. 🤔 steep cut off 15k ?
I record in a quiet but air-conditioned room. I don't know how to edit the sound. For me would the mk 400 be better because of the low cut filter, to cancel the noise of the air conditioner?
Nice, thank you. What I missed was the reference, the sound of the built-in camera mic, to compare them all. I'd watch your video again only for Tarkovsky... ;)
Excellente Video, man. Thnks. Besides, you havo a nice voice which fits perfectly to this techy theme. And BTW Here in México Bisteck (whichs soundas exactly as Visteck) is a nice type of beef .
This was perfect and just what I was looking for. I also have an Osmo 4 and I’m super curious how the two mics worked along with it? My fear with the 400 is that it’s too big to use without an L-bracket attachment, which isn’t the end of the world but then you can’t use the tripod with the gimbal anymore. I guess my real question is if the Osmo 4 can handle the weight of the 400 or not
Thanks for doing the test. All I needed was that 10 seconds where around 2:45 where you switch between mics to hear a noticeable difference. Also, how much influence would the preamps from your recording device matter (using an A7Siii vs an iPhone)?
I need to have the microphone separate from camera/iPhone because I’ll be using it to record acoustic. I need a microphone to be directly over acoustic soundhole, but videoing further away separately.
Could you recommend a decent Cam Mic for recording music live ?it’s for live street gigs (I think a shotgun would be fine as it would be directed at an AER Domino 2A Amp.. We tried using an Apogee MiC (just perfect for live ‘indoor’ venues but too clean for outdoor gigs) I came across a few cam mics on eBay that I thought may suit & well priced , sE Electronics ProMic Laser, Deity D3, Rode video mic pro & Sennheisers.. I’m guessing the Sennheisers & Deity maybe a little bright? Does a deadcat soften the high end detail more or maybe too much compared to a foam windshield ? I would still like to have a little street ambience. Thanks 🙏🏻
Batteries are very simple to understand. Alkaline (non rechargeable) will have a slow voltage slope, where as rechargeable is a kin to the power falling off a cliff. Both wont work when past a certain voltage - so even this fact is not particularly relevant.
HELLO I BOUGHT A WIRELESS MIC SENNHEISER EW 112P G4 , I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A SCI FI MOVIE FOR NETFLIX , WHAT KIND OF BOOM MIC AND ADAPTOR DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR PROFESSIONAL SOUND ?
Just love your review. Simple. Right to the point. No fuss. Plus the editing (2 camera side by side) is very effective!
Thank you Clement!

What an amazingly prompt video. Right to the point with no nonsense and packed with so much knowledge
Thank you!!
I just purchased the 200 and it was definitely good enough for what I need it to do.
I just got the 200. But I’m finding it super quiet. Did you find this ?

The 400 definitely represents the lower and mid a bit better. The 200 is a bit more crispy to my ears, which can be good for voice
What a brilliant video. thank you. Straight to the point and loved the reading technique. Top work.
Thanks READ Repairs!
Great video, thanks for taking the time to create it!
Thanks Adrian!
Great, concise info. Just what I needed. Thanks!
Thanks CK!

Great overview and comparison - very nicely put together!
Thank you Robb!

How dod they differ? How do they sound? What's the range? Give us MORE!
Appreciate the comparison! Was wondering what the difference in quality was between these 2 mics.
EXCELLENT video and very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Paul!

Actually the word bistek comes from mexicans bad pronunciation of "beef steak" -----say it quickly "bis-tek"

Thank you. It would be really interesting to hear the 400 at 3 meters
Amazing review thank you very much!!

hugely helpful thank you

Hey, what are you "EQ settings" for enhancing/boosting the MKE 200 audio? Thanks!
Thank you brutha!
What is the name of that thing that is attached to the under of your mobile gimbal? I really need that😅
Hi Mr. Mritt, it's an articulating arm. I did a whole video about them. You'll find it on our channel :)
@@vistek thanks but if its Ok can you provide me the link of that video please
Useful ❤
Both are awesome. But I can only afford the MKE200, and im happy with it.
What microphone are you using?
What batteries would you recommend for the 400? Rechargeable or not and what mAh
Batteries are very simple to understand. Alkaline (non rechargeable) will have a slow voltage slope, where as rechargeable is a kin to the power falling off a cliff. Both wont work when past a certain voltage - so even this fact is not particularly relevant.

Nice microphone it works good sound🎤new
Tarkovsky!!! El mejor!
Neither sounded that great to me tbh
The mke400 sounds much better.
Same?!
400 looks better
MKE 200 sounds like trash compared to the 400. Much better sound isolation and clarity.
But noise cancellation is bad
