The MKE 1 microphone
The MKE 1 is a high-quality, sub-miniature, sweatresistant clip-on condenser microphone. It features excellent sound quality and rugged design. The frequency response curve has been optimized for stage, studio and reporting applications (ENG). The
MKE 1 is fitted with a very thin (only 1 mm) yet extremely rugged cable, making this microphone an ideal partner for all live sound applications.
Features
• Sub-miniature microphone
• High maximum sound pressure level
• Wide frequency response with adaptable treble response
• Thin (only 1 mm), flexible and rugged cable, low in handling noise
• Very insensitive to the penetration of sweat due to a special protective “umbrella” diaphragm
Delivery includes
1 MKE 1 microphone
1 MZC 1-1 frequency response cap, small
1 MZC 1-2 frequency response cap, large
3 make-up protectors

Treble boost
Your microphone is supplied with two different frequency response caps. These caps allow you to adjust the treble response of the microphone
(see page 6).
MZC 1-1
MZC 1-2
In addition, the large frequency response cap attenuates wind noise by approx.
15 dB and provides an extended protection against the ingress of moisture.
왘
Slip the cap of your choice onto the microphone until it locks into place.
Make-up protection
왘
When putting on make-up or hair spray, protect the MKE 1 by slipping the make-up protector onto the microphone (with or without frequency response cap, see diagram).
왘
Only remove the make-up protector after makeup has been completed.

Attachment of the microphone
Depending on the area of application, you can attach the MKE 1 in different ways to either clothing or the body.
To do so, use the optional MZ 1 accessory kit (see
page 7) that offers multiple and secure attach-
ment possibilities.
The clips, holders and mounts are suitable for almost any wearing situation and ensure optimum sound quality.
