Ear Set 1 / Ear Set 4
The Ear Set 1 and Ear Set 4 are high-quality pre-polarized
condenser ear-worn microphones designed for professional appli
cations. They differ from each other in their pick-up patterns (
the polar diagrams in the chapter “Specifications”).
• Ear Set 1: omni-directional
• Ear Set 4: cardioid
Features of the Ear Set 1 / Ear Set 4
• Compatible with all Sennheiser wireless microphone systems
• Individually adjustable to the ear due to flexible earband
• Cable is insensitive to structure-borne noise
• Modular design, i.e. all system components are easily interchangeable
• Very small dimensions
• Very insensitive to the penetration of sweat and moisture
• High maximum sound pressure level and excellent speech
intelligibility
• Based on the proven acoustics of the MKE 1 sub-miniature clipon microphone (Ear Set 1) or the HSP 4 headmic (Ear Set 4)
• Transparent and skin-friendly hypoallergenic adhesive tape
ensures a perfect fit of the microphone boom even during
strong movements and provides strain relief for the cable
• Made in Germany

Putting into operation
Ear Set 1
Wearing the ear-worn microphones
Your ear-worn microphone comes
with a preinstalled connection cable
and is ready for operation on
delivery.
The Ear Set 1 with its omni-directional pick-up pattern can be worn
on the left or right ear.
Due to the directivity of its cardioid
pick-up pattern, the Ear Set 4 can
only be worn on the right ear.

>2 cм
CAUTION! Damage to the earband
The earband can break or be impaired in its function
when the bend diameter is too small (< 2 cm) or
when you bend it close to the connector. Also avoid
frequent alternate bendings. If the earband breaks,
you can be injured.
왘 Adjust the earband to the shape of your ear as
described below.
왘 Put on the ear-worn micro-
phone. The earband has to
closely follow the shape of your
ear. To improve the wearing
comfort, make sure that the
end of the connector is placed
in front (A) or behind (B) the
microphone boom.
왘 Adjust the pre-bent earband to
the individual shape of your
ear. To do so, carefully bend the
earband over your index finger.

Positioning the microphone boom towards the corner of the mouth
For best possible fit and comfort and optimum transmission
quality, the microphone boom has to be adjusted to the shape of
your face.
CAUTION! Damage to the microphone boom
The microphone boom can break or be impaired in
its function when the bend diameter is too small
2 cm) or when you bend it close to the micro-
(<
phone. Also avoid frequent alternate bendings. If
the microphone boom breaks, you can be injured.
왘 Adjust the microphone boom to the shape of
your face as described below.
왘 If necessary, bend the earband again in order to adjust the
angle of the microphone boom.
왘 Adjust the microphone boom:
You can change the length of
the microphone boom by
bending it. Due to the omnidirectional pick-up pattern of
the Ear
distance between microphone
and mouth has to be main
tained.
With the Ear Set 4, maintain a
distance of 2 to 3 cm between
microphone and mouth.
왘 Adjust the microphone boom
to the shape of your face.

the adhesive tape.
Attaching the sound inlet basket (Ear Set 4 only)
Notes
왘 Do not position the microphone directly in front of your mouth
as it will pick up your breathing and plosive noises from your
mouth. In addition, moisture can adversely affect the sound
and performance of your microphone.
왘 When attaching the sound inlet
basket, make sure that it locks
into place with an audible click.
왘 Make sure you do not cover the
sound inlet.

Treble boost using the MZC 1-1 and MZC 1-2 frequency response caps (Ear Set 1 only)
The Ear Set 1 is supplied with two
different frequency response caps.
These caps allow you to adjust the
treble response of the microphone
(see the frequency response curve
in the chapter “Specifications”).
addition, the large MZC 1-2
In
frequency response cap attenuates
wind noise by approx. 15 dB and
provides an extended protection
against the ingress of moisture.
왘 Slip the cap of your choice onto the microphone head until it
locks into place.
