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.
y Short slip-on cap: MZC platinum-1
y Long slip-on cap: MZC platinum-2
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.
