Connect the microphone only to microphone inputs and supply units that provide 48 V phantom powering in ac-cordance with IEC 61938.
Do not attempt to open the product housing on your own. The warranty is voided for products opened by the customer.
Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel. Servic-ing is required when the product has been damaged in any way, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the product, when the product has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

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.

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- MZC 1-2 sponse cap attenuates wind noise by approx. 15 dB and provides an extended protection against the ingress of moisture.

Slip the cap of your choice onto the microphone until it locks into place.

Make-up protection

X When 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).
X Only 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.

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.

separately at the end of their service life. For the packaging, follow the regulations in your country for separating waste. Improper disposal of packaging materials can be harmful to your health and the environment.
The separate collection of waste electrical and electron-ic equipment, (rechargeable) batteries (if applicable) and packaging is intended to promote reuse and recycling and to prevent negative impacts on public health and the environ-ment, for example due to hazardous substances contained in these products.
