Sennheiser ME 66

The ME-66 is a super cardioid shotgun microphone that has become a workhorse of the industry, combining high-quality audio and rugged construction with an inexpensive price. Unusually, it features a power switch and bass-cut dip switch on the mic body itself. This allows the recordist to move from a windy street to a sound studio with ease while maintaining sound quality. Also, this condenser microphone can be powered by a variety of options: an onboard AA battery; an external power supply; or phantom power. Comes with softie windscreen and pistol grip.
