About the Sennheiser MKE-2-EW Gold Lavalier Microphone
The Sennheiser MKE-2-EW Gold is a premium, subminiature omnidirectional lavalier microphone system specifically designed for integration with Sennheiser Evolution Wireless 100-series bodypack transmitters. This complete solution pairs the industry-renowned, discreet MKE-2 Gold capsule with a pre-terminated cable ending in a locking connector that mates directly with the transmitter, eliminating the need for adapters and ensuring a secure, reliable connection. The microphone capsule itself is celebrated for its exceptional sonic fidelity, utilizing a gold-sputtered electret condenser element to deliver a natural, transparent, and full-frequency sound reproduction that captures the subtle nuances of the human voice. Its minuscule size allows for effortless concealment under clothing, making it ideal for broadcast, film, theater, and high-stakes presentations where both audio quality and visual subtlety are paramount.
This system is engineered for professional plug-and-play operation, with the cable featuring robust strain relief and a durable, flexible design that withstands the physical stresses of body-worn use. The omnidirectional polar pattern provides consistent audio pickup regardless of the speaker's head movements, ensuring stable volume levels and maintaining a natural off-axis tonal quality that prevents the "muffled" sound sometimes associated with poorly positioned lavalier microphones. The included comprehensive accessory kit typically contains various clips, adhesive mounts, and windscreens, offering solutions for virtually any mounting challenge, from formal wear to active sportswear. The microphone requires phantom power, which is supplied directly by the Evolution Wireless bodypack transmitter, creating a self-contained, high-performance wireless lavalier system.
The synergy between the meticulous acoustic engineering of the MKE-2 capsule and the reliable wireless transmission of the Evolution series results in a trusted tool for sound professionals. It provides the clarity and detail necessary for critical listening environments while offering the operational freedom and setup speed that wireless systems afford. For ENG crews, documentary filmmakers, and corporate AV teams, the Sennheiser MKE-2-EW Gold represents a benchmark in wireless lavalier performance, delivering broadcast-quality audio with the convenience and flexibility that modern productions demand.
