MKE 2 GOLD
Condensor clip-on microphone with omnidirectional characteristic for top soundquality and robustness requirements. Suitable for vocal transmission, close-up
miking, and miking of instruments in all fields of live sound transmission.
Characteristics
씰
Extremely small size, i.e. unobtrusive attachment to articles of clothing or the body.
씰
Insensitive to structure-borne noise.
씰
Linear frequency response.
씰
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 &micro;m), 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.

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.

Attachment of the microfone
Depending on the field of application, you may attach the MKE 2 GOLD in
different ways to either articles of clothing or your body.
Attachment to articles of clothing
You may use the MZQ 2 GOLD clip to attach the microphone to your lapel, tie,
collar, a button hole, etc. You may rotate the microphone holder in the clip in
steps of 90&deg;.
For thin clothes (e.g. silk), please use the
outer hole where the clip’s contact
pressure is the highest.

You may also use the MZS 2 pin to attach
the microphone to articles of clothing
made of fabric that will not be damaged by
the pin. The pin attachment withstands
high mechanical loads and is also a very
convenient solution, if the articles of
clothing do not have collars or edges to
which the MZQ 2 clip can be attached.
The MZM 10 and MZM 2 magnetic clips can
be used for unobtrusive attachment of the
microphone to articles of clothing. The
frictional force between the microphone
and the fabric is often sufficient to ensure
that the microphone is not displaced. For
smooth and soft clothes, the neckstrap
(included) ensures that the microphone is
not displaced from its proper position.

Wind-shields
Wind noise impairs the quality of outdoor recording and close-up miking. The
MZW 2 and MZW 02 wind-shields considerably reduce the wind noise.
Please install the MZW 2 wind-shield, first.
This wind-shield reduces the wind noise by
a maximum of 20 dB.
You may further reduce the wind noise by
10 dB by means of the additional MZW 02
foam-net wind-shield.
MZW 2 and MZW 02 are available as
accessories.
