Intended use

The MKE 1 is a high-quality, sub-miniature, sweatresistant

clip-on condenser microphone. It features excellent sound

quality and rugged design. The frequency response curve

has been optimized for stage, studio and reporting applica-

tions (ENG). The MKE 1 is ﬁtted with a very thin (only 1 mm)

yet extremely rugged cable, making this microphone an ide-

al partner for all live sound applications.

Delivery includes

• MKE 1 microphone

• MZC 1-1 frequency response cap, small

• MZC 1-2 frequency response cap, large

• 3 make-up protectors

• Instruction manual

• MKE 1-4, MKE 1-4-1, MKE 1-5, MKE 1-ew: MZ 1

Putting into operation

Treble boost

Your microphone is supplied with two

different frequency response caps.

These caps allow you to adjust the tre-

ble response of the microphone (see

page 13).

In addition, the large frequency re-

sponse cap attenuates wind noise by

approx. 15 dB and provides an extended protection against

the ingress of moisture.

XSlip the cap of your choice onto the microphone until it

locks into place.

Make-up protection

XWhen putting on make-up or hair spray, protect the

MKE 1 by slipping the make-up protector onto the mi-

crophone (with or without frequency response cap).

XOnly remove the make-up protector after makeup has

been completed.

Attachment of the microphone

Depending on the area of application, you can attach the

MKE 1 in different ways to either clothing or the body.

25 cm

To do so, use the optional MZ 1 accessory kit (Art. no. 504060),

that offers multiple and secure attachment possibilities.

The clips, holders and mounts are suitable for almost any

wearing situation and ensure optimum sound quality.
