Sennheiser MKE2-K Gold TA4F Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone

The Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold is a subminiature omnidirectional clip-on condenser that has anchored theater, broadcast, and house-of-worship rigs for years. Barely larger than a match head, it hides on a lapel, tie, or costume while capturing a full, natural voice, and because the capsule is omnidirectional the tone holds steady even as the talent turns their head. Its response runs the full 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, so speech and vocals sound open rather than boxed in.

Sennheiser's welded housing and lightweight Umbrella Diaphragm shrug off perspiration through long stage calls under hot lighting. This black reduced-sensitivity Gold version terminates in a TA4F connector wired for Shure and Telex bodypack transmitters, and handles sound-pressure levels up to 142 dB before distortion. It ships with the MZQ 2 mic clip and MZW 2 foam windscreen.
