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 applications. They differ from each other in their pick-up patterns (see 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 clip-on 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
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.

Adjusting the earband to the shape of your ear
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.
Adjust the earband to the shape of your ear as described below.
Put on the ear-worn microphone. 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.
Adjust the pre-bent earband to the individual shape of your ear. To do so, carefully bend the earband over your index finger.

>2 cmPositioning 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 microphone. Also avoid frequent alternate bendings. If the microphone boom breaks, you can be injured.
Adjust the microphone boom to the shape of your face as described below.
If necessary, bend the earband again in order to adjust the angle of the microphone boom.
Adjust the microphone boom: You can change the length of the microphone boom by bending it. Due to the omni-directional pick-up pattern of the Ear Set 1, no particular distance between microphone and mouth has to be maintained.
With the Ear Set 4, maintain a distance of 2 to 3 cm between microphone and mouth.
Adjust the microphone boom to the shape of your face.

Notes
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.
When attaching the sound inlet basket, make sure that it locks into place with an audible click.
Make sure you do not cover the sound inlet.

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”). In addition, the large MZC 1-2 frequency response cap attenuates wind noise by approx. 15 dB and provides an extended protection against the ingress of moisture.

Care and maintenance
Cleaning the sound inlet basket
To clean or replace the sound inlet basket, carefully pull it from the capsule.
Moisten a small brush (bristle brush or toothbrush) with isopropyl alcohol.
Carefully brush off the sound inlet basket.
Allow the sound inlet basket to air dry for approx. 1 hour so that the remaining isopropyl alcohol can evaporate.
Reattach the sound inlet basket to the capsule so that it locks into place with an audible click. When attaching the sound inlet basket, make sure not to cover the sound inlet.
