A commenter comparing microphone options specifically mentions liking the interchangeable capsule feature associated with the ME 64 capsule system. This suggests some users value the modularity this design offers over fixed-capsule alternatives.

Direct discussion of the ME 64 itself is very limited in the available comments, which mostly focus on the related MKE 600 shotgun microphone from the same comparison video. One commenter comparing microphone options mentions liking the interchangeable capsule design, a feature associated with the ME 64 capsule system, while asking how it stacks up against alternatives for run-and-gun and live dialog use. No other commenters describe hands-on use, sound quality, build, or price of the ME 64 specifically. Because so few comments address this product directly, most claims about its performance cannot be verified from this comment set. The evidence here is too thin to support a broader picture of strengths and weaknesses.

@vivy2770
What is the difference between ME66 and MKE 600 in terms of pickup, sensitivity and noise ? I intend to use it for run and gun, sometimes outdoors, some percussion and live theatre dialog. Is the ME66 more delicate than a MKE 600 ? I like the interchangeable capsule. Please help choose.launch
