Sennheiser MKE2-ew Gold Lavalier Microphone

Sennheiser's MKE 2 is a subminiature omnidirectional condenser lavalier, a fixture on theater stages, broadcast sets, and lecterns where the microphone has to disappear. The pre-polarized capsule measures under 5 mm across, so it conceals easily on a collar or in the hair, and its omni pattern keeps level and tone consistent as the presenter moves. A moisture-resistant capsule design lets it shrug off the perspiration and humidity that would kill a typical clip-on.

This MKE2-ew Gold is the reduced-sensitivity version, tuned to stay clean at high stage levels. It terminates in a 3.5 mm locking jack for Sennheiser evolution wireless bodypacks, and the black finish keeps it discreet against dark wardrobe. A tie clip and windscreen are included.
