HSP Essential Omni:

Whatever you want to convey, the HSP Essential Omni neckworn microphone gives weight to your voice. Just as it pushes your speech forward, the device itself holds back from pressure and discomfort. Inconspicuous and lightweight, it is barely felt, even when worn for extended sessions. This also applies to its price, as the HSP Essential Omni won’t apply pressure on any budget.

**Nothing else is needed to convince you** With the HSP Essential Omni, the name is also a philosophy: it compresses professional requirements relating to quality and function down to the essentials – for a substantially lower price. For this price it combines a high level of wearing comfort with a robust frame, brilliant sound with distortion-free transmission and an inconspicuous appearance with a light-weight design. The result is a professional headset microphone to suit any budget. HSP Essential Omni. Focus on what's really important.

**Adaptable** Thanks to its continuously adjustable neckband, the HSP Essential Omni adapts perfectly to any head size or shape. Once adjusted, it is barely felt, as the optimally distributed lightweight design of only 25 grams exerts very gentle pressure. Furthermore, the microphone boom can be positioned on either the right or left side depending on the user’s preference.

**Gives weight to every voice** The HSP Essential Omni features Sennheiser’s tried-and-true high-quality condenser KE 4 capsule. It is omnidirectional and achieves a clear, warm and distortion-free sound, even with very loud voices. Its patented umbrella diaphragm also provides reliable protection from moisture.

 **Inconspicuous and lightweight** All the components of the HSP essential Omni, such as the particularly slim microphone boom, have been kept as small as possible so as not to be noticeable during use. Select from both black and beige for easy concealment. Its lightweight, compact form factor is exceptionally robust and is designed for a long life-span. Should anything malfunction, the components of the HSP Essential Omni can also be easily replaced.

MKE Essential Omni:

The MKE Essential Omni (omnidirectional) is designed for demanding everyday use on live stages. The newly developed KE 4 capsule is derived from the Broadway standard MKE 2, with improvements that provide a warm and distortion-free signal, even at high sound pressure levels. Reduced to the essentials, the aspirations of big productions become feasible, even for smaller productions and smaller budgets.

**Meets high expectations even on smaller budgets** The MKE Essential Omni small condenser microphone brings warmth and brilliance to every stage voice. Even at enormous input volumes, the signal remains distortion-free. The new KE 4 capsule inherits its high standards from Broadway star MKE 2, but its price remains affordable even for smaller productions.

**Made for sweat and tears** Highly sensitive on the one hand, absolutely stage-safe on the other: the capsule of the MKE Essential Omni is protected against all forms of moisture (typically sweat) by a patented, ultra-light tandem membrane. This not only protects the signal at all times, but also your investment in high-quality miking. Of course, all cable connections are also designed for tensile strength.

**Stage equipment included** Whether on the forehead or on the cheek; with adhesive tape, magnetic holder or Dracula clip, with or without make-up covers, with wind protection, black or skin-colored: the MKE Essential Omni comes with stage-proven accessories and fits every make up and every requirement. It has all the talents to stay inconspicuous – except for its sound, of course.

The MKE Essential Omni has multiple safeguards against the tough demands of theatrical productions. A sophisticated patented umbrella diaphragm protects the more sensitive components against sweat. The massive potential of the MKE Essential Omni remains unobtrusive thanks to its lightweight and easy-to-conceal design. If you don’t attach the microphone near your mouth with tape, you have a wide variety of accessories to utilize, including rotatable clips, magnetic mounts and makeup cover-ups. The MKE Essential Omni is available in black and beige.
