MKE 2
Condensorclip-onmicrophonewithomni-directionalcharacteristicfortopsound-
quality and robustness requirements. Suitable for vocal transmission and miking
up instruments in all fields of live sound transmission.
Characteristics
앫Extremely small size
앫Insensitive to structure-borne noise
앫Linear frequency response
앫Robust
Note
If the microphone is fastened as shown or in a similar manner, it is essential to
ensure that
왘it is not in direct contact with the skin
왘it is covered up whilst make-up is applied in order
to prevent contamination of the sound inlet.
Attachment to articles of clothing
MZQ 2: this clip serves to attach the mic to the collar, lapel or button hole etc.
The pin MZS 2 can be used for rough clothing. The ZH 2 pin provides high
stability.Thispinisalsosuitableforarticlesofclothingwhichdonothaveacollar
or lapel to attach the mic with the MZQ 2 clip.
MZM 10+MZM 2: this magnetic clip is quite unobtrusive. Often the frictional force
between the mic and the clothing is sufficient to guarantee that the microphone is
notdislocated.Inaddition,theneckstrap(included)ensuresthatthemiccannotbe
displaced from its proper position, especially with regard to smooth clothes.
Storing the microphone
왘The microphone should be stored in a dry room.
왘Iftheoperatingconditionsdeviatesubstantiallyfromtheclimatic conditions
in the storage room, the microphone, should be exposed to the new climatic
conditions for roughly 15 minutes prior to operation.

Cleaning the sound inlet
Pull the sound inlet off of the microphone as shown. Release the inlet either with
your fingers or using a tool with a blunt edge. If several microphones with short
cleaning intervals (e.g. once a week) are used, it is advisable to order a special tool
(Order No. 37 990) from your Sennheiser dealer.
Thecleaningintervalsaredependentonthedegreeofcontamination.Anultrasonic
bath and Kaltron or similar should be used for cleaning. In the event of severe
contaminationormechanicaldamage thesoundinletmustbereplaced withanew
inlet (Order No. 26317: black; 19037: beige).
Before attaching the windscreen, please remove the gauze cap.
