Product Overview
The Sennheiser MKE 40-ew is a professional clip-on cardioid condenser microphone with a TRS EW connector for Sennheiser Evolution Wireless bodypack transmitters. It provides superior directional pickup for instrument and speech applications where feedback rejection is critical. Available at Creation Networks.
Product Description
The MKE 40-ew is a professional clip-on cardioid condenser microphone designed for use with Sennheiser EW Series bodypack transmitters via its TRS EW connector. Unlike omnidirectional lavaliers, the MKE 40-ew provides a cardioid polar pattern that focuses pickup on the front of the capsule, delivering significantly better rejection of ambient noise and stage feedback. This makes it an excellent choice for instrument clip-on applications—particularly for woodwind, brass, string, and acoustic string instruments—where close miking with directional control is essential for clean wireless audio in loud stage environments. The cardioid pattern also makes it suitable for speech applications in venues with significant ambient noise. Compatible with Sennheiser EW SK 100, SK 300, and SK 500 G3/G4 bodypack transmitters via the TRS EW locking connector.
