Description
The black Sennheiser HS 2 is a discreet, professional-quality, neck-worn microphone designed to deliver pristine vocal sound for singers and presenters working on stage and in broadcasting, theaters, houses of worship, or business and educational settings. The steel, low-profile adjustable frame and steel-wire cable make it both unobtrusive and durable, while the updated headband and neckband have been improved to offer a more comfortable fit.
The HS 2 uses an MKE 2 capsule, which features a wide, flat frequency response and omnidirectional polar pattern, helping to ensure consistent levels; the moisture-resistant capsule has also been improved to reduce interference when used with wireless transmitters. The microphone is available with various connectors to suit different applications; this version uses a 3-pin LEMO-style SE connector compatible with select Sennheiser transmitters including the SK 6212 and SK 6000 models.
Optimized Sensitivity and Frequency Curve
The headset’s MKE 2 mic capsule is a proven industry performer for television broadcast and theatrical productions that delivers accurate frequency response and natural, uncolored sound. The capsule is optimized for close-miking and can handle high-volume speakers and vocalists at SPLs up to 140 dB without noise and distortion. The included frequency response caps alter the high-end response, adding more presence and clarity when needed.
Moisture-Resistant Diaphragm
The unique umbrella diaphragm protects the microphone against sweat and moisture damage.
Resists Interference
The updated capsule design preserves the mic’s sonic performance, but adds additional protection from radio and electro-magnetic interference—especially helpful when used with wireless transmitters.
Light, Unobtrusive Design
Discreet and lightweight, the low-profile frame and capsule are ideal for broadcast and presentations. The short gooseneck boom lets you precisely position the microphone for optimal source isolation in loud environments.
