Sennheiser MKE 2 GOLD Instructions For Use Manual page 7

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.

HIGH-NOTE EMPHASIS
Your microphone is delivered with two slip-on caps of different lengths. You may
use these caps for high-note emphasis.
Slip the cap on the head of the microphone until it locks into place.
Please refer to the frequency diagrams on the pages 50 and 51.
Short slip-on cap: MZC2-1
Long slip-on cap: MZC2-2
MAKEUP PROTECTION
Please protect your MKE 2 GOLD by
means of the makeup protection, if you
attach your MKE 2 GOLD to your body
and want to put on makeup. The makeup
protection is easy to install: just slip it on the
microphone (with or without slip-on cap).
The makeup protection prevents makeup
from penetrating into the gauze. Remove the
makeup protection shortly before you enter
the stage.
The makeup protection is available as
accessory.
