While the rating appears lower than the MKE 600, the mic in this review would provide a tremendous improvement in quality. However, due to it being expensive and somewhat unwieldy it gets a slightly lower rating. For a better and fairer comparison, you should compare it with other similarly priced professional products.

The ccir noise is what should be compared.

Shhoeps are not low noise, they are average. They are very selective and the polar patterns are precise. This is why people buy them.

That said, MKH 60 is actually quite good in dealing with this as compared to other shotguns but you may find it unwieldy for interiors.
