Sennheiser Mke Essential Omni Beige 3 Pin

An Essential Alternative Inspired by the MKE 2 Series

Designed to meet the demands of voice applications, the MKE Essential Omni carries the spirit of the renowned MKE 2 series, with a similar acoustic signature and a miniature format that is easy to conceal. This "Essential" series is a reliable solution for environments where speech intelligibility and consistent pickup are priorities, while remaining compatible with a wide range of accessories from the MKE 2 series.

For Theater, Speaking Engagements, and Discreet Installations

Thanks to its omnidirectional pattern, this lavalier microphone performs particularly well when placement varies slightly (suit, lapel, shirt) or when the speaker moves a lot. It is well suited for theater, places of worship, conferences, stage performances, and any situation where a stable voice capture with minimal visual presence is desired both on camera and on stage.

Design, Discretion, and Performance Dedicated to the Voice

Omnidirectional Capsule: Consistent Voice Without "Pointing Effect"

The omnidirectional capsule of the MKE Essential Omni helps maintain a consistent voice level even when the speaker moves slightly off-axis from the microphone. This behavior is ideal for natural speech reproduction, reducing timbre variations caused by head movements, while remaining suitable for stage environments and sound reinforcement.

Miniature Format, Clean and Comfortable Integration

With a capsule diameter of 4.8 mm and a weight of 16 g, it quickly becomes unnoticeable. The finish and format facilitate discreet installation, particularly useful for suits, filmed interventions, or scenes where aesthetics matter as much as sound.

Robust Cable and Included Accessories

The microphone comes with a 1.6 m cable terminated by a 3-pin connector (beige version). The MZQ 02 clip allows stable attachment to clothing, while the foam windscreen helps reduce breath noises and wind sounds, practical for mobile use or on stage.

MKE 2 Accessory Compatibility

To adapt the setup to different costumes, wireless configurations, or installation constraints, the MKE Essential Omni remains compatible with many accessories from the MKE 2 series. This continuity simplifies inventory management and standardizes setups during performances.
