Title: sennheiser mke 2-p c
Post by: fp on March 08, 2009, 12:00:23 PM

Hello to everybody.
I have the possibility to buy an used a pair of sennheiser mke 2-p c. (spec --> http://www.dv247.com/invt/24062/) for 300 euro (have to talk about the price with the seller !)

I'm searching a (very) good omni mic ... i'm only stealthing with a Nomad Jukebox 3 and Marantz PMD660 (busman mod) with a SP-CMC-2 (AT831 - cardoid)...

Does anybody have feedback on this mic ? (will record pop/rock gigs - not metal -but sometimes near the PA systems - stack taping) or perhaps an another choice to go ?

Thanx
Fab

Hello,

Microphone Madness sells them. Check http://microphonemadness.com/products/mmhlsomsenmi.htm
That's the same MKE-2 capsule. No tricks, no mods, just  great sounding omni mics.
I've been using them for a long time.I'm quite happy both with sound quality and amazing customer service.
Hope that helps  ;)

These are the same as other MKE 2 mics, but are more expensive as they have an integral XLR with internal PCB and are powered from 48V phantom power.

Thanks for the info  ;)
I knew there was something more to justify the price.
