The Sennheiser MKE 2-5 Gold-C (article 004735) is the black MKE 2 lavalier with an open-ended (unterminated) cable, so a technician can fit whichever connector their bodypack transmitters require. The MKE 2 is a sub-miniature omnidirectional clip-on lavalier that Sennheiser positions for television broadcast and theatre. Its accurate frequency response gives natural, uncoloured sound, and the dual-diaphragm Umbrella Diaphragm design keeps sweat and moisture off the capsule so it keeps performing through long shows. The small size makes it easy to conceal while still giving a textbook omnidirectional polar pattern, and the very thin, low-mass diaphragm has excellent transient response. The stranded, stainless-steel reinforced cable is strong and keeps contact noise low, and two supplied sound-inlet caps let the engineer tailor the high-frequency response. It is a common choice for rental and theatre departments that run transmitters from several brands. Sennheiser covers the microphone with a two-year warranty.
