Sennheiser MKE 2-ew-GOLD Omnidirectional Microphone - Microphone

Sennheiser MKE 2-ew-GOLD Omnidirectional Microphone is a professional clip-on microphone available in an elegant gold finish, designed in Germany for broadcast and live-speech applications.

This pre-polarized condenser lavalier delivers a wide frequency response from 20 to 20,000 Hz and a sensitivity of 5 mV/Pa (1 kHz), ensuring natural, intelligible speech reproduction across the vocal range.

The omnidirectional capsule and high maximum sound pressure level of 142 dB make the MKE 2-ew-GOLD tolerant of placement variation while handling loud sound sources without distortion.

With a microphone input impedance of 1000 Ω and an equivalent noise level of 26 dB (CCIR-weighted 39 dB), this wired microphone balances low self-noise and stable performance for live events, interviews, and broadcast situations.

Connectivity is simple and reliable via a 3.5 mm (1/8") output, and the microphone operates from a 7.5 V supply with 250 mA power consumption. The 1.6 m cable provides practical reach for lapel placement while keeping connections discreet.

Compact and lightweight (package weight 17 g, dimensions 160 × 100 × 5 mm), the MKE 2-ew-GOLD is compatible with Sennheiser ew G3, ew G4, ew D1, Speechline DW and XSW systems, making it an excellent choice for existing Sennheiser wireless setups.

Use cases include on-camera interviews, corporate presentations, theatre and live event sound reinforcement where natural voice capture and unobtrusive placement are essential.

Key selling points: reliable German engineering, omnidirectional lavalier capsule, wide frequency range, high SPL tolerance, gold finish for discreet visibility, and broad compatibility with Sennheiser wireless systems.
