Sennheiser MKE2-C Gold TA4FV Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone

The Sennheiser MKE 2-C Gold is a subminiature omnidirectional clip-on condenser for professional body-worn miking on stage, in broadcast, and on set. Its pre-polarized Gold capsule measures only a few millimeters across, so it hides on a lapel, tie, or costume while holding a natural 20-20,000 Hz response. The welded housing and ultra-light Umbrella Diaphragm shed perspiration through long, hot shows without dulling the sound.

This variant terminates in a TA4F (mini-XLR) connector wired for Vega bodypack transmitters, and its reduced 5 mV/Pa sensitivity keeps those inputs from overloading. It is finished in black for dark wardrobe and stage use, and ships as the bare microphone without accessories.
