Sennheiser MKE 2 - Omnidirectional Clip-On Lavalier Microphone (Bla...
Product Overview
The Sennheiser MKE 2 is a rugged omnidirectional lavalier microphone engineered for professional body-worn speech and vocal capture in broadcast, live theatre, and house of worship applications. Its sub-miniature capsule and sweat-protected Umbrella Diaphragm make this anthracite/black clip-on microphone a proven choice for high-reliability wireless microphone systems in commercial AV deployments.
Product Description
The MKE 2 delivers a linear 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz response with 5 mV/Pa sensitivity and a 142 dB max SPL, capturing natural speech and vocals even in high-output stage environments. The special ultralight Umbrella Diaphragm and protective caps guard the capsule against moisture, supporting long service life in demanding daily-use installations.
This version uses a 3-pin SE connector for direct use with Sennheiser SK 50, 250, 2000, 5212, 6000, and 9000 bodypacks. Interchangeable frequency-response caps let AV system designers adjust presence and high-frequency lift for each room, and the anthracite/black housing keeps the microphone discreet on presenters and performers.
