Sennheiser MKE2-C Gold 1053 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-C Gold 1053 is the reduced-sensitivity version, rated 5 mV/Pa so it holds together at high stage levels. It is terminated with the BFX 1053 connector, and the capsule is finished in black to disappear against dark wardrobe. It ships as the bare microphone, ready to pair with the clip and windscreen of your choice.
