The ME 66 is a short gun microphone head and the K6 is a battery powering modules, (non Phantom power). It is especially suitable for reporting, film and broadcast location applications and for picking up quiet signals in noisy or acoustically live environments as it discriminates against sound not emanating from the main pick-up direction.

Super-cardioid/lobar pick-up pattern
Highly directional
Low inherent self-noise
High sensitivity
Wide frequency response
