Gebruiksaanwijzing
The bottom diaphragm is electrically active and forms the capa-
citive electroacoustic transducer together with the back plate.
The top diaphragm is passive and seals the microphone against
sweat and moisture. Robust sealing of the housing is ensured by
a silicone ring. Since the diaphragms are extremely small and
thin (less than 1 μm), the fact that they are made of different
materials does not influence their acoustic properties – over a
wide frequency range, these diaphragms oscillate in tandem.
High-note emphasis
Your microphone is delivered with two slip-on caps of different
lengths. You may use these caps for high-note emphasis.
Slip the cap on the head of the microphone until it locks into place.
Please refer to the frequency diagrams on the page 39.

Makeup protection
Please protect your MKE platinum-C by
means of the makeup protection, if you
attach your MKE platinum-C to your body
and want to put on makeup. The makeup
protection is easy to install: just slip it on
the microphone (with or without slip-on
cap). The makeup protection prevents
makeup from penetrating into the
gauze. Remove the makeup protection
shortly before you enter the stage.
The makeup protection is available as
accessory.

Attachment of the microphone
Depending on the field of application, you may attach the
MKE platinum-C in different ways to either articles of clothing or
your body.
Attachment to articles of clothing
You may use the MZQ 02 clip to attach the microphone to your
lapel, tie, collar, a button hole, etc. For better attachment of the
cable, snap the cable tube into the microphone holder. You may
rotate the microphone holder in the clip in steps of 90°.
For thin clothes (e.g. silk), please use the
outer hole where the clip’s contact pressure
is the highest.

You may also use the ZH 102 pin to attach the
microphone to articles of clothing made of
fabric that will not be damaged by the pin.
The pin attachment withstands high
mechanical loads and is also a very convenient
solution, if the articles of clothing do not have
collars or edges to which the MZQ 02 clip can
be attached.
The MZM 10 and MZM 2 magnetic clips can be
used for unobtrusive attachment of the
microphone to articles of clothing. The
frictional force between the microphone and
the fabric is often sufficient to ensure that the
microphone is not displaced. For smooth and
soft clothes, the neckstrap (included) ensures
that the microphone is not displaced from its
proper position.
Examples of use

Wind-shields
Wind noise impairs the quality of outdoor recording and close-up
miking. The MZW 2 and MZW 02 wind-shields considerably reduce
the wind noise.
Please install the MZW 2 wind-shield,
first. This wind-shield reduces the wind
noise by a maximum of 20 dB.
You may further reduce the wind noise
by 10 dB by means of the additional
MZW 02 foam-net wind-shield.
MZW 2 and MZW 02 are available as
accessories.
