## Long description

sE Electronics SE 6160 is a short shotgun microphone engineered for directional audio capture in field production. Its compact form factor and interference tube design prioritize sounds from the front while attenuating ambient and lateral noise. The microphone provides a 3.5 mm output for direct connection to cameras, portable recorders and some mobile adapters, making it suitable for ENG, documentary shoots, run-and-gun production and broadcast location work.
Advantages
The SE 6160 combines a short shotgun length with a directional pickup pattern to deliver focused sound capture in confined or mobile setups. Its reduced physical profile makes mounting and positioning easier on compact cameras and booms, while the 3.5 mm output simplifies integration with consumer and prosumer devices. The design reduces off-axis noise and ambient interference, improving intelligibility of dialogue and on-camera sources without requiring large, heavy equipment.
Suitable for
 ENG and news gathering with compact camera rigs
 Documentary and run-and-gun shooting
 Location sound for interviews and reportage
 On-camera mounting for DSLR/mirrorless and compact camcorders

How to use
Mount the SE 6160 on a camera shoe, lightweight boom, or shock mount and aim the microphone toward the primary sound source. Connect the 3.5 mm output to the camera or recorder input, checking input sensitivity and levels on the receiving device. Monitor levels with headphones during capture to verify signal quality and adjust placement or gain to minimize background noise and clipping. Use wind protection when recording outdoors to reduce wind noise and protect the microphone capsule.
Usage recommendations
For optimal results, place the microphone as close as practical to the subject while maintaining the desired framing. When shooting outdoors, combine a windshield with careful aiming to preserve dialogue clarity. Verify compatibility of the 3.5 mm input on your camera or recorder and adjust preamp gain accordingly to avoid excessive noise or distortion.
