help Sennheiser ME 102 FAQ

What transmitters are compatible with the Sennheiser ME 102 lavalier microphone?

The ME 102 is historically compatible with older Sennheiser evolution wireless G2 and G3 series transmitters, utilizing a standard locking 3.5mm connector. You should ensure the specific wiring matches your transmitter, as Sennheiser offers different plug variations for their various broadcast devices.

What is the polar pattern of the Sennheiser ME 102 capsule?

The ME 102 features an omnidirectional polar pattern, which allows it to pick up sound equally from all directions around the capsule. This provides a very natural, transparent sound quality that is highly forgiving of head movements during stage or on-camera use.

Can I plug the Sennheiser ME 102 directly into a camera or computer?

You cannot plug the raw ME 102 capsule directly into a camera or PC, as it requires power from a wireless transmitter or a dedicated powering module. To use it wired, you would need a module like the Sennheiser MZA 2 P to provide the necessary phantom or battery power.

Is the Sennheiser ME 102 waterproof or water-resistant?

No, the ME 102 is an electret condenser microphone capsule and is not designed to be waterproof or heavily water-resistant. It should be protected from heavy rain or sweat to prevent damage to the internal electronics during outdoor broadcasts.
