Product Overview

The Sennheiser MKE1-5-K is a complete MKE 1 lavalier kit featuring a black MKE 1 with 3.3 mm capsule, reduced sensitivity (5 mV/Pa), ultra-thin 1.1 mm cable, and pigtail connector. The kit includes an MZQ222 clip and protective pouch. Designed for broadcast and theatre professionals requiring a discreet, high-performance lavalier solution. Available at Creation Networks.

Product Description

The MKE1-5-K is a complete professional lavalier kit centered on Sennheiser's MKE 1, the world's smallest microphone and a benchmark in broadcast and theatrical lavaliering. This variant features a 3.3 mm capsule head with a reduced sensitivity level of 5 mV/Pa, optimized for high-SPL environments where the standard sensitivity would cause distortion. The ultra-thin 1.1 mm cable is virtually invisible once routed under clothing, and the pigtail (unterminated) cable ends require connection to the transmitter-specific connector of your choosing. The MZQ222 dual-post tie clip is included for precise capsule placement. The protective pouch keeps the microphone safely stored between performances. The MKE 1 is the professional choice for theatre, broadcast, and film audio where the microphone must be completely invisible. Available at Creation Networks for professional production sound engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the MKE1-5-K have pigtail connectors?
Pigtail connectors allow the sound engineer or technician to install the specific connector required for their wireless bodypack transmitter, providing maximum compatibility across different wireless systems.
What is the difference between MKE1-5-K and the standard MKE 1?
The 5 mV/Pa variant has reduced sensitivity, making it more suitable for high-SPL environments where the standard version would distort. Choose the standard for quiet-to-moderate SPL applications.
Is this microphone compatible with all wireless bodypacks?
Yes, but the pigtail ends require professional termination with the appropriate connector for your specific wireless bodypack transmitter.
What is the cable length?
The MKE 1 comes in various cable lengths. Confirm the specific length at time of order or browse at creationnetworks.net.
