Sennheiser MKE2-5-3-K 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 MKE2-5-3-K is the high-output version, rated 31 mV/Pa, and it ends in bare pigtail leads rather than a fixed plug so an installer can solder the connector a given transmitter needs. The capsule is finished in beige, and the MZQ 222 tie clip and MZW 2 windscreen are included.
