Q: 3. Can Sennheiser MKE 600 fit in this?

A: Hi there,It's not our official recommendation; however, you should (just about) be able to get away with an MKE 600 in the Super-Shield, Medium, since it's only 6mm over our recommended length. We would still recommend the Large, though!If in doubt, it might be an idea to bring the mic along to a dealer and try it inside the Medium, since everyone's needs are different.

Q: 4. Would this be the correct model for the Sennheiser MKH 50?
