Miniature microphone

The MKE2 Gold, a black condenser lavalier microphone from Sennheiser's Evolution series, features an omnidirectional polar pattern that captures sound evenly from all directions without obstruction, making this microphone ideal for professional voice transmission in TV and live productions. Combining exceptional sound quality with rugged durability, the MKE2 Gold meets the highest standards for performance and reliability. The package includes two microphone caps of different lengths for sound adjustment, three make-up protection caps, a clip system for secure attachment to clothing, and a clip-on windshield, offering versatility and ease of use in a variety of production settings.

Sennheiser MKE2-EW Gold

Adjustable high-frequency transmission

Thanks to Sennheiser's high-quality condenser technology, the MKE2 Gold lavalier microphone is equally well suited to both speech and vocal applications, making it an ideal choice for theatre and musical performances. The microphone transmits signals across a broad frequency range from 20Hz to 20kHz, while the included microphone caps allow convenient high-frequency sound adjustments to be made. Operating with a 7.5V supply voltage, the microphone is connected via a 1.6m cable with a mini-jack connector, drawing power from a compatible pocket transmitter.

Suitable for any application

With its compact size and excellent sound quality, the Sennheiser MKE2 Gold is versatile enough for a wide range of applications – from simple interviews and theatre performances to talk shows and reality TV. The clip-on windshield included as standard effectively suppresses background noise during close-up interviews and outdoor recordings, while the microphone's special double diaphragm and sealed housing make the MKE2 Gold resistant to structure-borne noise and largely unaffected by sweat. Adding to its appeal is its multi-system compatibility with various Sennheiser bodypack transmitters, including the SK AVX, SK 2000, SK 6000, and SK 9000.

About Sennheiser

In June 1945, Prof. Fritz Sennheiser founded the Wennebostel Laboratory, which initially produced measuring equipment. Commissioned by Siemens in 1945, the young company developed the MD-1 microphone, which was launched in 1946. After the development of further microphones, the company was renamed Sennheiser Electronic in 1958. Two years later, Sennheiser introduced the MD 421 dynamic microphone, which is still in production today and still held in high esteem by many sound engineers. Further groundbreaking developments, such as the HD 414 headphones and the classic MD 441 microphone, hugely enhanced the company's international reputation, eventually making Sennheiser one of the leading manufacturers of microphone and headphone systems in the world.

Discreet under clothing

Lavalier microphones like the Sennheiser MKE2 Gold are typically clipped to the user's clothing, with optimum placement being around 25cm from their mouth: For added flexibility, Sennheiser offers a range of optional accessories, including the sturdy MZS 2 pin and the two-piece MZM 10 magnetic holder, which allows easy attachment around the neck. In TV productions, these microphones can also be discreetly concealed under clothing – tucked into a collar or secured with adhesive tape on the upper chest – to remain hidden from view.

Excellent quality robust lav mic
Adam M 14.10.2022
Definitely the sturdiest lav mic I own, the build quality is in a totally different class compared to the cheaper sub-£100 ones. The sound quality of the cheaper ones can be comparable, but this is the one I would be happy to use daily in a professional setting.

Solved all my feedback probs…
Archmiester 20.03.2022
Seriously good lav mic, …this was a very good gamble, …I suspect it has a very short range but very good within that range. Previous lav mic’s would pick up our church sub and feedback if we go loud enough to hear the audio.
This thing solved my primary church audio problem, …now onto my second prob, that Sure SM58 is not designed to be a lectern mic Vicar!!

Sérieux
Arnaud5078 03.07.2015
Construction sérieuse, cable rigide.
Le son est bon, peu de souffle. Largement meilleur que le ME2. Pas aussi clair qu'un Sanken Cos 11, mais il semble en même temps moins sensible aux frottements.
Je le conseille vivement, l'investissement en regard de la qualité est très intéressant. J'aime beaucoup le jeu de pinces fourni

Grundsätzlich guter Sound
Christian514 03.12.2021
Ich brauchte dringend ein Lavaliermikrofon und wollte aufgrund einer Empfehlung eigentlich jenes von Sanken in der gleichen Preiskategorie nehmen. Das war aber leider gerade nicht verfügbar, drum legte ich mir dieses Sennheiser Mikrofon zu.

Insgesamt bin ich auch mit diesem sehr zufrieden. Ein paar Dinge haben mich leider gestört:
Das Sanken hat laut Datenblatt etwas mehr Output; das hätte ich dringend gebraucht.
Das Sennheiser hat zwar eine Kugelcharakteristik, trotzdem ist der Sound, der direkt von oben auf die Kapsel kommt, klarer und lauter. Der Unterschied zum Mikrofon mit Nierencharakteristik würde mich interessieren. Mit der Kugelcharakteristik bekommt man aber dennoch viel Umgebungslärm in die Aunfahme. Alles nicht optimal, aber zu verschmerzen, zumal ich bei der ersten Aufnahme nachts nur mit Autogeräuschen aus weiter Entfernung zu kämpfen hatte.
Eine der mitgelieferten Aufsteck-Accessoires war bei Lieferung schon auf dem Mikrofon drauf. Nachdem ich das nicht runter gebracht hatte, musste ich mal googlen, wie man das entfernt. "Einfach abziehen" hieß es da. Mit sehr viel Kraft schaffte ich das dann doch. Zum Glück ging dabei nichts kaputt.
Im Lieferumfang sind einige Kleinteile dabei. Da wäre es schön gewesen, wenn man eine kleine Tasche dazubekommt. So muss ich das leider in der Kunststoffverpackung drin lassen und hoffen, dass da beim Transport nicht mal was versehentlich rausfällt.

Die positiven Feature möchte ich trotzdem nicht verschweigen. Das mikrofon ist sehr sehr klein und ideal um es im Haar oder in der Kleidung zu verstecken (für Filmdreh). Das Mikrofon klingt außerdem richtig gut, sofern man den richtigen Einsprechwinkel erwischt und der Umgebungslärm sich in Grenzen hält.

Deshalb werde ich das Mikrofon mal behalten.
