Cat Headphone With Mic

Mic, Pre-Amp, and Headphone Amp in an all-in-one package! Nice to be able to use a USB mic without the need for a separate pre-amp. Really like the headphone jack incorporated into the unit with separate gain controls for the headphone volume.

Every once in a while you are still going to need a headphone jack adapter for music or a mic.

Good quality and good sound. I keep the dead cat winshield always on the mic.

It's the cat's meow.

Great Mic - Does exactly what it says on the box. If you plan on using this outside, get a dead cat to go with it. The supplied foam shield does not work that great

I film often near a busy interstate, and my current stereo mic; the Azden SMX-30 picks up too much of that noise. The directional stereo helped reduce that noise by isolating my stereo to noises in front of my camera. I also think the stereo sounds a bit better here than with the Azden mic, although the pure shotgun mic of the Azden isolates noise better at the cost of stereo. The dead cat for the MKE 440 is just ok. I was still getting wind noise even with moderate wind. The dead cat for the Azden works much better. This might have more to do with the mic design of the MKE 440 than with the dead cat for it. Either way, wind reduction is much better on the Azden SMX-30.

SoundTools CAT snakes have become a staple in my setup. The cable is thin, though somewhat stiff. I can piece 25' and 50' sections together as needed for various applications. I can fit about 200' of cable with terminations in a small bag, in less space than one 50', 8-channel sub-snake. I recently added a CAT Tails XLRF device, for use with a 4-ch Ambisonic microphone. The mic cable is short, and the CAT Tail is less obtrusive, and can be hung on a mic stand more easily than a box. The quality of construction is excellent - very rugged.

If you are looking into getting this mic, it has the “dead cat” or wind blocker already. I made the mistake of buying a wind blocker as extra. Quality is amazing as well!

This is a great microphone, it really is built like a tank. It improved the quality of my films by about x10, it really is that good. Everything is tucked up in one small package. The Cat cover works really nicely, just be sure none of the cat hair gets into your shot. I ruined and entire shot because of the cat. But thats just operator error. I probably dropped it two times in one day, without any problems or damage to the mic, I was quite surprised and relieved. It's a great step up from the Mono shotgun Video mic, but its for a diffrent purpose. But it is built much tougher, and much heavier. I use this with my Canon Gl-2 and its a great combination.

This is a great compact video mic for your run and gun camera!!! The dead cat has cut virtually all the wind ive run into. I do alot of outdoor filming and i couldnt live without this mic!!! My audio quality has really improved since switching to this mic from the onboard mic in my camera!!!
