broadcast news NEW PRODUCT Sommer SC-AURA DMCK streaming news @ www.audiomedia.com NEW RELEASE Sennheiser MKE 1 The Sennheiser MKE 1 professional clip-on microphone is now available. The tiny omni-directional mic measures just 3.3mm across and is designed to operate in harsh live conditions. Accordingly, the MKE 1 can be provided with a multi-purpose cap to protect it from wind and divert moisture past the microphone; particularly useful for sweaty stage shows. The reliability afforded by this protection is reinforced by an acoustically open stainless steel membrane surrounding the capsule, in addition to all of the contacts being housed within the casing or the moulded coating.
