MKE 2 GOLD
Condensor clip-on microphone with omnidirectional characteristic for top sound-
quality and robustness requirements. Suitable for vocal transmission, close-up
miking, and miking of instruments in all fields of live sound transmission.
Characteristics
Extremely small size, i.e. unobtrusive attachment to articles of clothing or the body.
Insensitive to structure-borne noise.
Linear frequency response.
Largely insensitive to penetration of sweat due to the patented tandem
diaphragm. This design comprises two individual diaphragms installed on
both sides of the diaphragm ring. The bottom diaphragm is electrically
active and forms the capacitive electroacoustic transducer together with
the back plate. The top diaphragm is passive and seals the microphone
against sweat. Robust sealing of the housing is ensured by a silicone ring.
Since the diaphragms are extremely small and thin (less than 1 µm), the
fact that they are made of different materials does not influence their
acoustic properties – over a wide frequency range, these diaphragms
oscillate like a tandem.
