• Sennheiser AVX-MKE2 SET Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System (1.9 GHz)
  • Sennheiser AVX Digital Wireless Audio System: Hands-On Review
  The ultra-compact Sennheiser AVX-MKE2 SET provides professional videographers, video journalists, or vloggers with a dependable wireless microphone system that's so easy to use, it's like having a dedicated sound engineer on set handling audio tasks.Made with simplicity in mind, but without compromising audio quality, this self-configuring digital system handles time-consuming frequency setup and mic-level adjustments for you, so you're ready to shoot within seconds. Now, you can focus on the other critical elements vying for your attention during a shoot, and confidently record crisp, clear audio on your camcorder, DSLR, or mirrorless camera.This set comes with a camera-mount receiver, a bodypack transmitter, and a professional MKE 2 omnidirectional miniature lavalier mic, ideal for projects ranging from broadcast TV and documentaries to wedding videos, corporate videos, and hands-free interviews.

  It Goes Where You Go

  • • The lightweight AVX system is easy to carry with you when every ounce counts. The roadworthy bodypack transmitter features a rugged metal chassis with a form factor even smaller than the EW G4. A locking connector ensures that your lav doesn’t detach at a critical moment, while a convenient switch allows you to mute your mic, and the display shows battery life and signal strength.
    • The black MKE 2 lavalier mic's miniature form factor makes it easy to conceal, while its unique Umbrella Diaphragm delivers moisture-resistant performance.
    • The discreet receiver plugs directly into the XLR input of your camcorder and rotates 320° to get out of the way of lights or other accessories you may have mounted on your camera. An AF button on the receiver allows you to adjust the output level to your camera, if necessary. In addition, the receiver comes with a shoe mount and 3.5mm output cable, making it a great fit for DSLR and mirrorless shooters.

  Setup Made Simple

  Automatically Finds a Clean Channel
  • • The digital AVX automatically finds the cleanest frequency in the 1.9 GHz band as soon as you power up the receiver.
  Fast Pairing
  • • A long press of the Pair button on both receiver and transmitter links the two devices. Once the indicator LED turns green, you’re good to go.
    (Note that the AVX is a peer-to-peer system, meaning the transmitter can only be paired with one receiver).

  Clear and Natural Speech

  • • Popular with industry professionals, the MKE 2 omnidirectional lavalier microphone delivers a natural, broadcast-quality sound optimized for speech intelligibility. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures that the sound remains consistent, even when the speaker’s head moves away from the mic.
    • The AVX's automatic mic-level control takes full advantage of the system's wide dynamic range to deliver consistent speech without clipping and distortion, even when your talent goes from a whisper to a scream.
    • The system delivers 24-bit/48 kHz audio with an extended 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, for pristine, nuanced recordings.

  Protected Wireless Transmission

  • • The AVX operates in the license-free 1.9 GHz band—away from TV and Wi-Fi interference—to create a wireless peer-to-peer connection, for clean audio without drop outs at a range up to 98’.
    • The system automatically finds the cleanest frequency, free from RF interference.
    • If interference is detected, the AVX automatically increases the power on the transmitter—up to 250 mW—to overcome the problem.
    • If the increase in power isn’t sufficient, the system substitutes a clear frequency well before the audio signal itself is affected, for clean, worry-free sound.

  Smart Power Management

  • • The AVX transmitter and receiver both feature removable, lithium-ion batteries that are recharged via the USB port.
    • The transmitter gives you up to 15 hours of battery life, while the receiver is limited to 4 hours.
    • The receiver turns itself on and off when it senses phantom power from your camcorder, extending battery life in the field.
    • The transmitter and receiver can also be powered through their USB ports allowing them to run for numerous hours on a USB power pack or indefinitely, if you have access to AC.
    • The included BA 30 battery for the transmitter and BA 20 for the receiver are available separately, so you can have fully charged spare batteries ready in the field.

  Other Features

  • • Up to eight AVX systems can operate simultaneously in the same area
    • AES 256-bit encryption for secure communication
    • Made in Germany

• Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone
  • Sennheiser AVX Digital Wireless Audio System: Hands-On Review
  The MKE 600 from Sennheiser is a shotgun microphone designed for use with a camcorder or video DSLR. Building on the company's extensive expertise in designing shotgun microphones, it is able to take on even the toughest video sound challenges, while still being compact and short relative to previous models. With its high level of directivity, the microphone focuses on the sounds in front of the camera, while attenuating unwanted sound coming from the sides and rear.
  
  An included foam windshield reduces the effect of wind noise, while a switchable low-cut filter adds additional wind and handling noise attenuation. The MKE 600 can be phantom powered or operated on an AA battery for about 150 hours. An integrated camera shoe and shock mount provides convenient on camera mounting. The rugged and all metal housing means the microphone will function perfectly in outdoor recording situations.
  • Flexible use on any camera due to compact form
  • Exceptional directivity
  • Maximum rejection of side noise
  • Switchable low-cut filter
  • Phantom or battery powering
  • Battery switch with "Low Batt" indicator
  • All-metal housing
  • Very good suppression of structure-borne noise
  • Minimizes wind and handling noise
  • Supplied with foam windshield and shock mount
  • Effective wind noise suppression with optional blimp
