Sennheiser MKE 1-5 lavalier microphone black, open end
Product no: 9000-0006-0687 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

If you are looking for a robust and discrete lavalier microphone that provides excellent sound quality, you will probably choose the MKE 1 by Sennheiser. The microphone comes in four colours and with different connectors. This is the black version, which is equipped with no connector at the end of its cable. As such, it can be made compatible with any beltpack transmitter by any brand, so long as you provide it with the right plug.

MKE 1: the sound

The microphone capsule of the Sennheiser MKE 1 has a diameter of only 3.3 mm and an omnidirectional pickup pattern. As the diaphragm is so very small, it has a quite linear frequency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz. The microphone can handle a sound pressure of no less than 142 dB. This means that the sound won't get distorted easily and everything is registered perfectly, be it speech, vocals, string or brass instruments.

Rugged design

Sweat can be extremely detrimental to the life span of a microphone and therefore optimal protection is warranted. Thanks to extensive preparatory research, the diaphragm of the MKE 1 is very well suited for heavy-duty circumstances. A special mesh and multifunctional capsule offer extensive protection against moisture and wind noises. Only your desired sound is registered. The Kevlar-reinforced cable minimises contact sound. All in all, the MKE 1 is a reliable, durable lavalier microphone that produces a great sound.
