AT IBC in Amsterdam, Sennheiser launched the new, affordable, MKE 600 gun mic.
Press release is HERE.
Retail price is, I gather, about £250 - so *very* affordable.
It's battery powered / phantom powered, so you have a choice - but the specs are slightly better if it's phantom powered.
Although it looks like the K6+ME66 it is quite different. My understanding, from someone who has used it, is that it has a "warmer" sound than the K6+ME66.
At this price with this pedigree, IMHO, it should be on everyone's short list for an affordable short gun mic.
