SURF, SKI, SWIM - LEAP INTO EXTREME SOUND FOR GOPRO with SENNHEISER

The Sennheiser MKE 2 elements is the first microphone to be GoPro-verified for seamless operation with the GoPro HERO4. And just like an ultra-rugged GoPro camera in its protective housing, the new mic has been specifically designed to be tough enough to go virtually anywhere, and easily withstand conditions such as water, wind and snow.

GoPro cameras have set adventurers free to capture awesome footage that takes viewers right into the heat of the action. Yet, until now, compromises on audio quality have seemed inevitable when you're pushing the limits. With the MKE 2 elements, we have finally shattered this barrier, said Achim Gleissner, Commercial Manager for Broadcast & Media at Sennheiser. Created around a professional-quality microphone design, this groundbreaking action cam mic sets the bar for sound quality higher - even in the toughest conditions. Its unique waterproof and shockproof construction even lets you capture audio underwater, with an innovative windshield design that keeps working wet or dry.

Rugged, waterproof and uniquely capable of taking on the elements The MKE 2 elements can take on virtually anything GoPro users throw at it - even activities like surfing, climbing or mountain biking. It is based on a professional Sennheiser miniature microphone design that has been enhanced to make it nearly immune to snow, water, ice, and wind, with an elastic suspension cutting out structure-borne noise. It comes with a robust dedicated back cover for the GoPro HERO4 that ensures seamless, easy operation and a rock-solid waterproof connection with the camera housing. Further proof from the elements is provided by a special foam windshield that, unlike a conventional foam or hairy shield, continues to reduce wind noise for clear sound even when it gets wet.

Through our Developer Program we are very proud to be working with companies like Sennheiser to pursue a shared vision and create seamless user experiences between our products, said Ted Simonides, Director, Developer Partnerships at GoPro. The MKE 2 elements epitomises this spirit of innovation and lets GoPro users take their adventures even further.

Sennheiser is currently the only audio company that has obtained Works with GoPro verification, and the ground-breaking nature of the MKE 2 elements is a testament to the power of this collaborative and excellence-driven approach, said Achim Gleissner. In parallel to bringing the MKE 2 elements to the market, Sennheiser is working on solutions for HERO5 cameras and is excited to continue to collaborate with GoPro as their products evolve.

The MKE 2 elements action mic for GoPro HERO4 Black and Silver cameras will be available starting 24 April 2017. Get ready for your next adventure.
