Sennheiser MKE2-60/K6 Combo Lavalier Microphone

The MKE 2 is Sennheiser's subminiature omnidirectional clip-on condenser, the lavalier that has miked theater stages, pulpits, and broadcast sets for decades. Its tiny capsule all but disappears under a lapel or on a headworn mount, and the omnidirectional pattern captures a full, natural voice without the proximity coloration or off-axis dropout of a directional element. A welded housing and the lightweight Umbrella Diaphragm shrug off sweat and humidity, so it holds up under the punishing conditions of live performance and daily broadcast use.

This is the complete MKE 2-60/K6 system built around the Gold capsule, whose 5 mV/Pa sensitivity lets it handle up to 142 dB SPL. The MKE 2-60 lavalier wires to the K6 modular powering module with a 3-pin SE connector; the K6 runs on phantom power or an internal battery and delivers a balanced XLR-3 output for any mixer or camera input. It ships in black with the MKE 2-60 Gold microphone, an MZQ222-A clip, the K6 module, and a K6C-SM cable.
