Thank you for choosing Senal.
The Senal ENG-18R/RL is a broadcast-quality omnidirectional dynamic microphone. The omnidirectional dynamic capsule picks up sound in a 360° pattern and does not require a battery or phantom power, making it a reliable choice for critical field applications. The microphone’s exceptionally low handling noise and resistance to wind noise and vocal plosives make it perfect for professional ENG applications like live reporting, interviews, and press conferences.
At multiple areas inside of the microphone, natural rubber with special shock-absorbing properties is bonded to carbon steel rings to isolate the sealed inner shell from the outer shell. This system helps protect the microphone capsule from impacts and inclement weather, and dissipates kinetic energy, dramatically reducing handling noise and resonance due to rustling and knocking.
The microphone incorporates multistage wind protection to minimize wind noise and vocal plosives. A mesh grill, acoustic foam, acoustic fabric, and a second layer of acoustic foam work to diffuse excess sound pressure from wind and breath. A fixed rigid carbon-steel ring with a unique bullet-shaped design disperses breath to minimize vocal plosives.
The EQ curve is tailored for broadcast use, with a gradual low-frequency roll-off to keep out unwanted rumble, a pronounced midrange to ensure speech intelligibility, and a high-frequency roll-off to eliminate hiss and sibilant distortion. Whether broadcasting on television, AM/FM radio, or over

Introduction
the internet, the ENG-18R/RL is designed to ensure that dialogue cuts through the mix, and can be broadcast live without EQ adjustment.
Both models feature a durable aluminum­alloy shaft designed for EMI rejection and reduced internal resonance. They each come with a matte black finish for a professional appearance. The ENG-18RL is slightly longer to accommodate a mic flag.
