Sennheiser 009831 MKE 2-EW GOLD Omni-Directional Lavalier Microphone

The Sennheiser MKE 2-EW GOLD is a sub-miniature omni-directional lavalier microphone engineered for professional broadcast, theater, and film applications where reliability and sound quality are non-negotiable. At the heart of its design is the Umbrella Diaphragm — a dual-diaphragm capsule architecture that shields the acoustic element from perspiration and humidity, a common failure point for body-worn microphones during extended performances or on-location shoots. This moisture resistance comes without any sacrifice to audio fidelity; the mic delivers a flat, accurate frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with an 80 dB signal-to-noise ratio, producing clean vocal reproduction with minimal coloration.

Build quality is a standout feature. The cable uses stranded stainless-steel reinforcement that dramatically increases tensile strength and reduces the contact noise that plagues lesser lavalier cables when they rub against fabric. The included acoustical end caps give users a practical way to fine-tune the high-frequency response depending on mic placement — whether clipped to a lapel, taped to skin, or hidden in a costume. The sub-miniature capsule in matte black is small enough to conceal easily, and the 3.5mm locking connector mates directly with Sennheiser Evolution Wireless bodypack transmitters, making it a natural companion for EW system users who need a professional-grade lav they can trust under demanding conditions.
