Sennheiser MKE2-3-K Gold 2-R Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone

The MKE 2 is Sennheiser's subminiature omnidirectional clip-on condenser, the lavalier that has miked stage plays, newscasts, and worship services for decades. Its pre-polarized capsule is barely wider than a pencil lead, so it tucks into a hairline or hides behind a lapel, and the omnidirectional pattern holds a voice steady even as the talker turns off-axis. The capsule is built to resist the perspiration and stage makeup that silence lesser lavaliers.

This MKE2-3-K Gold 2-R is the reduced-sensitivity version, rated 5 mV/Pa so it stays clean and low-distortion at high stage levels. It terminates in a TA4F mini-XLR wired for Shure and Telex bodypacks, and the beige capsule blends against lighter wardrobe. It ships with the MZQ 222 tie clip and the MZW 2 windscreen.
