Sennheiser is adding a high-quality, miniature omni-directional lavalier-style microphone to its microphone portfolio with the release of the MKE mini. With a total length of 90mm and ultra-light weight (7g), the MKE mini is convenient to wear, while meeting the special challenges of a moderator microphone.
As with much of Sennheiser’s innovation, the MKE mini was developed in response to customer feedback and requests. Users demanded a presenter mic that can be worn with any hairstyle, is unobstructive and easy to install, and provides excellent sound quality. In response, Sennheiser has made microphone setup for lectures and speeches extremely easy. All that is needed for setup is to connect the microphone to a bodypack and attach a lanyard. Additionally, the MKE mini is the perfect fit when wearing a hairstyle that doesn’t allow for a head mic or an outfit that offers no possibility to clip a body pack.
The MKE mini is fitted with Sennheiser’s KE 4 capsule, derived from the industry standard MKE 2, which provides a warm and distortion-free signal, even at high sound pressure levels. The MKE mini also features Sennheiser’s Umbrella Diaphragm technology, protecting the mic against sweat and other moisture.
‘Our customers have often voiced struggles with headmics that don’t fit well over their hair, but many also struggle with where to place a body pack and lavalier mic, if they don’t have a belt or pocket to hook the beltpack to,’ says Business Development Manager for Business Communications, Inesh Patel. ‘Therefore, we designed the MKE mini to hang with a bodypack around the neck on a lanyard with placement right under the chin, which is ideal.’
Sennheiser has also announced the availability of the Sennheiser Business Communication Microphone Guide 2022. ‘By offering a microphone for any situation in the workplace or classroom, Sennheiser’s goal is to make collaboration and learning easier,’ the company says. ‘From the smallest meeting rooms or learning spaces to the largest educational and corporate campus installations, Sennheiser has the right microphone solution to simplify your life.’
