The MKE 1 capsule delivers high-fidelity omnidirectional audio capture with a discreet neckband form factor that keeps the microphone consistent in position relative to the mouth. Includes a 3-pin connector for Sennheiser 2000\/5000\/6000\/9000 Series bodypacks, along with foam windshield, protection caps, attachment clips, and a transport case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MKE 1 neckband microphone is engineered around the MKE 1 omnidirectional condenser capsule — the same capsule element proven in the wired MKE 1 miniature lavalier — providing reference-grade audio quality from a neckband mounting position that reduces susceptibility to handling and clothing noise inherent in body-worn lavalier deployments. The neckband holds the capsule at a fixed distance from the mouth regardless of head movement, providing more consistent audio levels across dynamic performers and presenters. The 3-pin connector is designed for Sennheiser 2000\/5000\/6000\/9000 Series and compatible professional bodypack transmitters. A protective foam windshield, attachment clips, protection caps, and hard transport case are included, making this a complete deployment package for theatrical, broadcast, and corporate AV wireless applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMKE 1 Omnidirectional Condenser Capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e — Reference-grade audio capture with consistent off-axis response and natural sound reproduction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeckband Mounting Position\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fixed capsule distance from mouth reduces level variation during head movement versus lavalier placement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Handling and Clothing Noise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Neckband design minimizes friction noise inherent in body-worn lavalier configurations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3-Pin Connector\u003c\/strong\u003e — For Sennheiser 2000\/5000\/6000\/9000 Series professional bodypack transmitters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes Foam Windshield, Clips, Protection Caps, Transport Case\u003c\/strong\u003e — Complete deployment kit out of the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive theatre and performing arts wireless neckband microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse of worship wireless presenter microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio talent neckband wireless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorporate event and all-hands presenter wireless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment and institutional presentation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background:#f5f5f5\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e509490\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCapsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMKE 1, omnidirectional condenser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eConnector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e3-Pin (Sennheiser 2000\/5000\/6000\/9000 Series)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003ePolar Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eOmnidirectional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eIncludes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMKE 1 capsule, foam windshield, protection caps, attachment clips, transport case\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the MKE 1 neckband and the Headmic 4?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe MKE 1 neckband (509490) uses the omnidirectional MKE 1 capsule in a neckband mounting form that places the capsule at a fixed distance from the mouth.
