wireless lavalier condenser microphones

General Description

The MKE 2 Gold sub-miniature omni-directional lavalier is ideal for television broadcast and theatrical productions. Its accurate frequency response produces natural, uncolored sound. A unique Umbrella Diaphragmï¿½ delivers moisture-resistant performance with the identical high audio quality of the industry standard MKE 2 lavalier. Its size makes it not only unobtrusive and easy to conceal, but also offers a textbook perfect omni-directional polar pattern. An extremely thin (0.000014ï¿½) low mass diaphragm exhibits extraordinary transient response. The microphone also comes with two additional sound inlet caps to tailor the high frequency as needed. Color: matte black.

Features

Dual-diaphragm design virtually eliminates “sweat-outs”
Stranded, stainless-steel reinforced cable provides maximum strength and low contact noise
Acoustical equalization via supplied end caps
Successor to the “Broadway-proven” MKE 2 Red Dot
1-year warranty

Delivery Includes

1 MKE 2-4-C Gold clip-on microphone
1 MZC 2-1 cap (short)
1 MZC 2-2 cap (long)

Glossary

Cable length

The cable length is usually measured between the anti-kink sleeves of the cable (cable length without connectors).

Connection cable

When one speaks about headphones, the emphasis is on such things as sound quality and frequency response. There is rarely any mention of the connection cable. Most Sennheiser headphones are fitted with an OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable. This ensures linear and low-loss transmission in the broad frequency spectrum of the headphones. Many Sennheiser headphones also have detachable cables, which make it very easy to replace them.

Equivalent noise level

The output signal of every microphone always includes a low noise signal in addition to the useful signal. In order to illustrate the extent of the noise voltage, it is given as a fictitious sound pressure level. In an ideally noise-free microphone, a sound pressure level of this magnitude would result in an output voltage of the magnitude of the noise. Self-noise is measured and weighted either in accordance with CCIR 468-3 or – in order to assimilate the measured result with the listening impression of the human ear – in accordance with DIN/IEC 651 (so-called A-weighted). Studio condenser microphones generally have an equivalent noise level of between 20 and 30 dB (CCIR) or between 10 and 20 dB(A).

Equivalent noise level

Min. terminating impedance

Impedance at which the connected unit meets the specified technical data. If the unit is connected to a lower impedance, it will usually have a lower output voltage or a greater distortion.

Nominal impedance

See impedance.

Pick-up pattern

Also known as polar pattern, directivity. According to their acoustic design, microphones differ in their sensitivity towards sound from different directions. Pressure microphones have a sensitivity that is largely independent of direction (omni-directional pick-up pattern). Pressure gradient microphones have the pick-up patterns wide cardioid, cardioid, super-cardioid or figure-of-eight. Interference microphones can be used to achieve a further concentration of the pick-up pattern (lobar pick-up pattern). As a special case, dummy head microphones achieve the pick-up pattern of the human ear/head (dummy head stereo).

Power supply

Description of the power source used for powering a unit, for example mains, battery, rechargeable accupack, etc.

Sensitivity in free field, no load (1kHz)

Voltage measured at the unloaded output of a microphone which is exposed to a sound pressure of 1 Pa and a frequency of 1 kHz in an anechoic chamber.
