Sennheiser MKE 2 Lavalier Microphone – A Broadcast-Quality Mic for Professional Audio Recording

If you’re looking for a lavalier microphone that delivers exceptional sound quality in a compact, durable design, the Sennheiser MKE 2 is a standout choice. Trusted by professionals across broadcasting, film, theater, and live presentations, this subminiature mic combines discreet placement with reliable performance in demanding environments. Whether you’re filming a documentary, capturing dialogue on set, or miking a stage performer, the MKE 2 ensures your audio is consistently clear, natural, and free of distractions.

Engineered for real-world use, the MKE 2 features a robust dual-diaphragm capsule that resists sweat and moisture, making it ideal for use under hot lights, on-stage costumes, or outdoor shoots. Despite its tiny size, it’s built to withstand daily wear, and its low-profile form factor allows it to stay hidden under clothing without sacrificing audio quality. The mic’s steel-reinforced cable is designed to reduce rustling and contact noise, making it a reliable option for both location sound and studio use.

What truly sets the Sennheiser MKE 2 apart is its ability to capture sound with clarity and consistency. The omnidirectional polar pattern picks up audio from all directions, so your subject doesn’t have to worry about staying perfectly on mic. Even if they turn their head or shift positions, the MKE 2 delivers a smooth, even frequency response that sounds natural to the ear. With a frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a high maximum SPL of 130 dB, it handles everything from soft-spoken dialogue to louder vocal performances without distortion.

This particular model includes an XLR connector, making it compatible with a wide range of professional audio equipment. From field recorders and portable mixers to camcorders, interfaces, and studio gear, it integrates seamlessly into any production workflow that supplies 12 to 48 volts of phantom power. That flexibility makes it a great choice for sound professionals who need a mic that works reliably across different setups.

For added versatility, a frequency cap is included to boost the high end when needed—especially helpful when the microphone is hidden under fabric or layers. You’ll also receive the MZ 2 accessory set, which includes everything you need to rig the mic securely and protect your audio. Two lapel clips and two pin-style clips offer different mounting options, while mesh and foam windscreens help reduce wind noise and plosives. A compact carrying case keeps all components organized and ready for the next shoot.

Whether you’re miking talent for video interviews, capturing stage performances, or recording vocals in the field, the Sennheiser MKE 2 delivers the sound quality, reliability, and ease of use that professionals demand. It’s a microphone you can trust when every word counts.
