With the MKE-300 you may need to add a mic pad to
avoid overloading the VX-2000 AGC, and an isolation
mount to avoid low-frequency vibration pickup with
the VX-2000 (and TRV-900), but otherwise, it is a
good choice for a fairly low price... An AT-835b
short-shotgun was recommended by someone else - I
would be tempted to look at that one, too, if the
price is not much higher...
