An Interchangeable Capsule Designed for Sennheiser Handheld Systems
This microphone head fits into the modular approach of the SKM series: adapt the "color" and pickup pattern to your voice, monitor configuration, and stage volume level without changing the transmitter. A practical solution for shared setups, rental fleets, and tours.
For Which Voices and Uses?
It is aimed at singers, hosts, and technicians who want precise capture and better control of bleed. In cardioid mode, you benefit from a simple and versatile handling. In supercardioid mode, you gain lateral rejection, useful on noisy stages and with demanding monitor setups.
Selectable Polar Patterns and Stage Behavior
Cardioid: The Versatile Balance
An effective choice for most live configurations, allowing quick setup and good tolerance to movement in front of the capsule.
Supercardioid: Enhanced Isolation
Ideal when maximizing gain before feedback and reducing bleed is necessary, especially near other sources (drums, amps, side-fills).
