A: The ATR6550x Shotgun Microphone features a 3.5mm TRS type plug for use with a 3.5mm MIC input jack. The plug is the Tip, Ring, Sleeve type which typically indicates a stereo connection but, in this case, it is wired as dual mono in order to put the signal on both the Left and Right sides of a stereo audio track because the 3.5mm MIC jack on equipment today is typically a stereo jack. If you have an interface that has only an XLR type MIC input jack, consider a different model microphone, such as the AT897 instead.

The MKE 600 is the ideal video camera/camcorder microphone able to handle even demanding filmic challenges. Due to its high directivity, the MKE 600 picks up sounds coming from the direction in which the camera is pointing and effectively attenuates noise coming from the sides and rear. The switchable “Low Cut” filter additionally minimizes wind noise. Because some video cameras/camcorders do not provide phantom power, the MKE 600 can also be battery powered. A battery on/off switch prevents the battery from discharging prematurely; “Low Batt” is displayed.
