Features

The frequency response curve has been optimised for close-miking. The treble response can be adapted to different requirements via accessories.
Largely insensitive to penetration of sweat due to the patented tandem diaphragm. This design comprises two individual diaphragms installed on both sides of the diaphragm ring. The bottom diaphragm is electrically active and forms the capacitive electroacoustic transducer together with the back plate. The top diaphragm is passive and seals the microphone against sweat. Robust sealing of the housing is ensured by a silicone ring.

Adapting the treble response to different requirements

Two caps with different lengths are available as accessories. With these caps you can influence the treble response.

Slide the cap onto the microphone head until it locks into place. Please refer to the frequency responses curves on page 38.

Short cap: MZC2-1 Cat. No. 76612
Long cap: MZC2-2 Cat. No. 74645

Windshields

Wind noise impairs the quality of outdoor recording and close-miking. The MZW 2 and MZW 02 windshields considerably reduce the wind noise.

Please first use the MZW 2 windshield. This windshield reduces the wind noise by approx. 20dB

You may further reduce the wind noise by 10 dB by using the additional MZW 02 foam windshield.

MZW 2 and MZW 02 are available as accessories.
