Description
Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with 3-Pin LEMO Connector (Black)
The black Sennheiser MKE 2 is a tough, subminiature lavalier microphone renowned for its dependable performance among industry professionals, including broadcast and field audio engineers, theater performers, presenters, and film/video crews. The mic’s dual-diaphragm design resists sweat and moisture, while the tiny size offers a discreet appearance that’s easy to conceal—even resisting contact and rustling noise when hidden in clothing and costumes.
With its wide 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range and ability to handle up to 142 dB SPL, the MKE 2 lav provides clear, intelligible reproduction of speech, dialog, and vocals. The microphone’s omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound from 360° around the capsule, helping to deliver consistent levels, even when the talent turns away from the mic capsule.
The MKE 2 is available with a variety of connectors to accommodate wireless transmitters and other compatible equipment. This model features a 3-pin LEMO connector wired for Sennheiser transmitters. Two frequency caps are supplied, allowing you to tailor the high-end frequency response depending on the application.

Industry-Proven Performance
Subminiature Size with a Quiet, Dependable Cable
The MKE 2’s subminiature profile enables the microphone to be used on stage or on camera while remaining inconspicuous. The mic can easily be hidden beneath clothing or costumes, while the stranded, steel-reinforced cable is designed to minimize clothing and rustling noise.
Sweat-Resistant Construction
The unique dual-diaphragm umbrella mic capsule design provides reliable protection from perspiration and moisture.
Ample Headroom for Loud Vocals
The MKE 2 Gold Series is designed to handle broadcast and theater applications, including loud vocals and instruments up to 142 dB, without distortion.
Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
The forgiving omnidirectional polar pattern picks up sound from all around the mic and provides a consistent frequency response, even for off-axis sound. This helps to supply clear, intelligible speech and vocals, even when the talent isn’t speaking directly toward the microphone.
Wide Frequency Response
With its wide, linear 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range and excellent transient response, the MKE 2 provides accurate and transparent reproduction of speech, vocals, and instruments. Frequency caps are supplied to boost the high-end frequencies, often used if the mic is concealed in clothing.
