All user reviews for the Sennheiser ME 66

Hyper cardioid head for K6/K6P body.
The whole forms a micro staique transistor with XLR and power fantme (K6/K6P) or 1.5 V battery (K6)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years. in sound recording for video reports.

Sensibilt rjection and extreme good off-axis (this is asked).
Good coverage of the sound spectrum and made quite natural (for a shotgun microphone).

High sensitivity to wind noise making necessary the use of a windscreen collection outdoor (real, not the foam that is provided just enough for a light wind).
Tip for those who can not afford a wig + Zeppelin: Rycotte also makes a semi-rigid foam windscreen with long hair wig intgre, much cheaper.

ATTENTION: Unused HANDLE WITH BATTERY POWERED. The blast was so devastating.

Because of this problem for my second camcorder, I bought a shotgun microphone Beyerdynamic MCE87 VS (powered by the camcorder). It is less sensitive than the head 66 and is a bit limited at the low, but it has no more breath on the Sennheiser fantme alim! O On the intrt in my case (especially since it is significantly cheaper than all K6/66).

Alternative to Beyer: Audiotechnica the AT 897 (280) mixed diet and XLR.

Description Gnrale

<p style="padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px;"> The ME 66 is a module of destiny to the microphone and K6 handles dalimentation K6P. It is anticipated especially for reporting, production and film making for the sound of very subtle signals in noisy environments or high levels of reverberation, sounds situs outside lax as very efficiently suppressed. External surface: matte black anodized, anti-scratch.

Supercardiode / lobe

Very pronounced directivity

Low self-noise

High Performance

Wide Frequency Response

And low-cut filter on / off switch on the handle

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2-3 years in video.
I enjoy the reliability particulirement its sound quality and especially the excellent sensitivity!
Can be used with phantom power without the grip K6.
TB report quality / price: Expensive but quality pro and exceptional sensitivity.
I would do it without hesitating choice!
