MKE 1 - Care and Cleaning Instructions
The MKE 1 is a high-quality, sub-miniature clip-on microphone which combines
outstanding sound quality and rugged design with extremely small dimensions.
To ensure continuous optimum performance, please observe the following care and
cleaning instructions.
General care instructions
Use the MZC 1-1 and MZC 1-2 frequency response caps and
the MZC 1-3 make-up protectors to avoid soiling and dysfunctions.
Store the MKE 1 in a dry, dust-free environment.
Avoid extreme bending and tearing of the cable.
Avoid knots in the cable.
The MZC 1-1 and MZC 1-2 frequency response caps
To wear the MKE 1 directly on the skin, use the large MZC 1-2 frequency response
cap which offers an extended protection against the ingress of sweat.
Regularly clean or replace the frequency response caps to avoid sound alterations.
Cleaning after use
Remove the frequency response cap from the microphone capsule. Hold the microphone by the cable and not by the anti-kink sleeve.
Use a fine bristle brush and isopropyl alcohol to remove make-up residues and
other buildup from the gauze.

dest
The microphone capsule features an overmold which only serves as an anti-kink sleeve.
The microphone capsule itself is protected from moisture.
Cleaning after use
Remove the frequency response cap from the microphone
capsule. Hold the microphone by the cable and not by the
anti-kink sleeve.
The cable
The anti-kink sleeve on the connector and the microphone is designed to meet the highest
requirements in quality. The use of additional adhesive tapes or shrink-on tubes can damage the material and reduce the service life of the cable.
Only use lavalier tape (LAV-Tape) to attach the cable to the skin.
Lavalier tape (LAV-Tape) is available as an original Sennheiser accessory.

make-up residues and other soiling.
Do not use a cloth or a bristle brush to clean the microphone sound inlet.
Dry the microphone for approx. 12 hours. The microphone
sound inlet has to point downwards during drying.
Cleaning after use
Use a cloth or a fine bristle brush and isopropyl alcohol to
remove make-up residues or other soiling.
