Q: 1. This MKE2 is giving me distortion even though my levels are far from clipping. I got this mic with the Sennheiser AVX bundle and recently shot a training video. My levels peaked around -24 to -12db, however, during playback I can hear high frequencies distort. It gets much noticeable once I process the audio and raise the level. I normally record straight into camera and also into an external recorder with this lav mic, however this issue keeps recurring. Why does this mic keep distorting my sound? Any help or tips would definitely be appreciated!

A: There are a number of things to consider when trying to source the cause of distortion. The question is where is the distortion occurring? Is the mic element overloading due to high SPL, or is the transmitter clipping because of improper gain staging? If the receiver is outputting line level and the input on the camera or recorder is set to mic, that may be the cause. Also, the gain settings on the preamp of the recording device needs to be set accordingly as it is a major part of the audio chain as well.

Q: 2. Is this the only mic Sennheiser makes with a TA4F connector...or the only one B&H sells? Thanks.

A: The Sennheiser MKE2 Gold Series LAV Microphone with TA4F Connector for Shure Transmitter is indeed a rare item. As Sennheiser and Shure both manufacture wireless microphone systems, they typically don't wire their mics as compatible with transmitters made by other manufacturers, as is the case here.

Q: 3. What is the difference between the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold and the Sennheiser MKE Essential?

A: The MKE Essential is an economically priced lavalier mic based on the MKE2 Gold model. The Essential uses the newly designed KE4 mic capsule, which can handle high sound pressure levels, and provides a warm and clear vocal tone for small productions or stage presentations. The MKE 2 Gold is Sennheiser's premium model, known and and used in the high-end broadcast production and professional theater worlds. The Essential MKE will give you that rugged design, miniature form factor and premium sound quality of the MKE2 at a lower price.

Q: 4. Is it possible to put with the RODELink Filmmaker Kit the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold even if it is equipped to supply 7.5 V via a Sennheiser wiring configuration and the Rodeling has a 4 V plug-in power supply?

A: The operating voltage of the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold Series Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector & Accessories (Black) is 7.5V. And the transmitter in the Rodelink Filmmaker Kit provides 3-5V plug-in power. Considering this; Even though the connector types are the same and compatible, the voltage is not enough to be able to power the MKE2 to pass a loud enough signal to be able to hear the microphone in the output audio using the Rodelink Filmmaker Kit.

Q: 5. Will this mic work with the packs for Pyle PDWM8900?

A: The cable connector is not compatible with the Pyle PDWM8900.

Q: 6. Will this fit into a Sennheiser EW100 G3 body pack trasmitter?

Q: 7. hello, 3 pin lemo is compatible with shure bodypack?

Q: 8. Will it work with a Sony Wireless system?

A: The Pyle Pro PMEMSN12 is wired for Sennheiser Wireless Systems and will not work with a Sony system unless it is rewired for compatibility.

Q: 9. Can you remove the locking part of the 3.5mm connector to work with DJI Mic 2?

A: You cannot remove the locking part of the 3.5mm connector on the Sennheiser ME 2 Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone with Locking 3.5mm Connector (Black). However, you can still use it with the DJI Mic 2, but the locking mechanism would just be loose and can rattle with movement. A little bit of gaffer tape would remedy this though.

Q: 10. What is the optimal transmitter / receiver for the MKE 2 Gold ?

A: The Sennheiser EK 100 G4 receiver & Sennheiser SK 100 G4 transmitter would be the ideal compatible solutions to use with the MKE 2 Gold. You can also use the Sennheiser SK AVX Digital Bodypack Transmitter & Sennheiser AVX EKP Camera-Mount Plug-In Receiver with the Sennheiser MKE 2 Gold.
