how to install Sennheiser MKE 400 Mobile Kit
- Mount the microphone securely on your camera’s hot shoe or mic stand using the supplied hardware, ensuring the microphone body sits level and balanced.
- Connect the MKE 400 to your device via the appropriate 3.5 mm input. If you’re using a smartphone or tablet, attach the correct TRRS adapter or cable to accommodate a mic input rather than a headphone jack.
- Orient the microphone toward the subject at a comfortable distance (typically a few inches to a foot away, depending on your scene and the subject’s voice level).
- Power on your recording device and set the input gain to avoid clipping. Perform a quick test recording, then playback to verify that the voice is clear and the level is consistent.
- Probe your environment: in outdoor shoots, position away from strong wind funnels, and use the integrated windscreen to minimize wind noise. Keep cables tidy and out of the frame to preserve clean sound and a professional appearance in your final video.
