Q: 1. Anyone ever use this on a Canon Vixia HF G20?

A: The Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone On Camera Kit is compatible with the Vixia HF G20, and works well. You will need an additional bracket to mount due to the Vixia not having a standard shoe mount. The Vello CB510 is a popular mount for the Vixia and attaches to the bottom of the camera. a href= http://bhpho.to/18xGmNT target= _blank http://bhpho.to/18xGmNT/a

Q: 2. Does the mke 600 support plugin power?

A: The Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone can be powered with a single AA battery or with 48V of phantom power, which is a much higher amount of voltage than plug-in power. Phantom power is delivered through an XLR mic input while plug-in power is typically 1 to 10V and it is delivered through a 3.5mm mic input. The MKE 600 will not work with plug-in power from a 3.5mm mic input, but will work with phantom power from an XLR mic input.

Q: 3. Wanting to know how well this mic "ignores" side noise. We do a lot of quick interviews in bars and brewery taprooms and our Audio-Technica AT875R attached to a Canon XA10 picks up a ton of noise off to the sides of of the mic and camera. Need something that mostly picks up what in front of it. Hoping this mic does?

A: There’s a good video on YouTube demonstrating the 875r, 897 and MKH60 and the 897 seemed to have the best off-axis rejection. https://youtu.be/XyGZA9FQudU

Q: 4. What is the length of the XLR to 3.5mm TRS cable? thanks

A: The Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone includes a coiled XLR to 3.5mm cable that is 15" (40 cm) long. The cable is also available separately as the Sennheiser KA 600 XLR Female to 1/8" TRS Male Connection Cable (B&H # SEKA600) if you need a replacement or spare.

Q: 6. Can I plug this into the Sony Fx9 without a battery and have it run off of the camera battery/phantom power? Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Q: 7. How is this mic when used for indoor interviews on a boom?

A: You would connect it to a compatible shockmount and that shockmount would have the threading to screw onto the end of a boompole. Typically the threading for that is 3/8''.

Q: 8. is it balanced mic? in both cases - phantom, battery?

A: I think you're asking if has a balanced input? If so, the answer is yes. With its power switch set to off , it takes phantom power from the mic cable. With the power switch set to on , it powers itself from an internal AA battery.

Q: 9. does anyone use a blimp here? What brand do you recommend? if not, which dead cat/wind screen do you use?

A: I don't use a blimp on the MKE 600, but I due use a Rycote Softie (B&H # RYS15M) that fits perfectly and works okay. I wouldn't rely on the Rycote Softie on a day with wind gusts, but an average windy day is just fine. I use a blimp for our 416 and the difference is definitely demonstrable. In a situation where a blimp is needed, we'd use the MKH 416 anyway.

Q: 10. Will the included XLR to 3.5mm TRS adapter cable allow me to connect this microphone to the Tentacle Sync-E audio recorder?

A: No. The included Sennheiser KA 600 XLR Female to 1/8" TRS Male Connection Cable will not connect directly to the locking input on the Tentacle Sync TRACK E Pocket Audio Recorder because the cable has a non-locking 1/8" (3.5mm) connector. As a better option, you can use the Remote Audio 3-Pin XLR Female to 3.5mm TRS Locking Adapter Cable for Sennheiser G2 Transmitter - 2' (B&H # RECASEK100L) which will connect properly to the recorder's locking input. Or if you do want to use the KA 600 Cable, you can adapt it by adding on the Hosa Technology GMM303 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini to 3.5mm Female Stereo Mini Adapter (B&H # HOASMFSMF) and attaching the Sennheiser CL1 3.5mm to 3.5mm Output Cable for EW Series Camera-Mount Receiver (B&H # SECL1), which has the proper size locking connector.
