Ear Set 1 / Ear Set 4  
The Ear Set 1 and Ear Set 4 are high-quality pre-polarized  
condenser ear-worn microphones designed for professional appli-  
cations. They differ from each other in their pick-up patterns (see  
the polar diagrams in the chapter “Specifications”).  
Ear Set 1: omni-directional  
Ear Set 4: cardioid  
Features of the Ear Set 1 / Ear Set 4  
Compatible with all Sennheiser wireless microphone systems  
Individually adjustable to the ear due to flexible earband  
Cable is insensitive to structure-borne noise  
Modular design, i.e. all system components are easily inter-  
changeable  
Very small dimensions  
Very insensitive to the penetration of sweat and moisture  
High maximum sound pressure level and excellent speech  
intelligibility  
Based on the proven acoustics of the MKE 1 sub-miniature clip-  
on microphone (Ear Set 1) or the HSP 4 headmic (Ear Set 4)  
Transparent and skin-friendly hypoallergenic adhesive tape  
ensures a perfect fit of the microphone boom even during  
strong movements and provides strain relief for the cable  
Made in Germany

Putting into operation  
Wearing the ear-worn microphones  
Your ear-worn microphone comes  
with a preinstalled connection cable  
and is ready for operation on  
delivery.  
Ear Set 1  
Ear Set 4  
The Ear Set 1 with its omni-direc-  
tional pick-up pattern can be worn  
on the left or right ear.  
Due to the directivity of its cardioid  
pick-up pattern, the Ear Set 4 can  
only be worn on the right ear.

Adjusting the earband to the shape of your ear  
CAUTION! Damage to the earband  
The earband can break or be impaired in its function  
when the bend diameter is too small (< 2 cm) or  
when you bend it close to the connector. Also avoid  
frequent alternate bendings. If the earband breaks,  
you can be injured.  
̈ Adjust the earband to the shape of your ear as  
described below.  
̈ Put on the ear-worn micro-  
phone. The earband has to  
closely follow the shape of your  
B
A
ear. To improve the wearing  
comfort, make sure that the  
end of the connector is placed  
in front (A) or behind (B) the  
microphone boom.  
>2 cм  
̈ Adjust the pre-bent earband to  
the individual shape of your  
ear. To do so, carefully bend the  
earband over your index finger.  
6
 
 
Positioning the microphone boom towards the  
corner of the mouth  
For best possible fit and comfort and optimum transmission  
quality, the microphone boom has to be adjusted to the shape of  
your face.  
CAUTION! Damage to the microphone boom  
The microphone boom can break or be impaired in  
its function when the bend diameter is too small  
(< 2 cm) or when you bend it close to the micro-  
phone. Also avoid frequent alternate bendings. If  
the microphone boom breaks, you can be injured.  
̈ Adjust the microphone boom to the shape of  
your face as described below.  
̈ If necessary, bend the earband again in order to adjust the  
angle of the microphone boom.  
̈ Adjust the microphone boom:  
You can change the length of  
the microphone boom by  
bending it. Due to the omni-  
directional pick-up pattern of  
the Ear Set 1, no particular  
distance between microphone  
and mouth has to be main-  
tained.  
With the Ear Set 4, maintain a  
distance of 2 to 3 cm between  
microphone and mouth.  
̈ Adjust the microphone boom  
to the shape of your face.  
7
 
 
The supplied hypoallergenic adhe-  
sive tape allows you to addition-  
ally fix the microphone boom to  
the cheek.  
̈ Remove the white protective  
foil (A).  
̈ Stick the adhesive tape (B)  
2 cm  
over the microphone boom.  
̈ Remove the thin protective foil  
(C) from the upper side of the  
adhesive tape.  
̈ If necessary, apply make-up to  
the adhesive tape.  
Attaching the sound inlet basket (Ear Set 4 only)  
Notes  
̈ Do not position the microphone directly in front of your mouth  
as it will pick up your breathing and plosive noises from your  
mouth. In addition, moisture can adversely affect the sound  
and performance of your microphone.  
̈ When attaching the sound inlet  
basket, make sure that it locks  
into place with an audible click.  
̈ Make sure you do not cover the  
sound inlet.

Treble boost using the MZC 1-1 and MZC 1-2  
frequency response caps (Ear Set 1 only)  
The Ear Set 1 is supplied with two  
different frequency response caps.  
MZC 1-1  
These caps allow you to adjust the  
treble response of the microphone  
MZC 1-2  
(see the frequency response curve  
in the chapter “Specifications”).  
In addition, the large MZC 1-2  
frequency response cap attenuates  
wind noise by approx. 15 dB and  
provides an extended protection  
against the ingress of moisture.  
̈ Slip the cap of your choice onto the microphone head until it  
locks into place.  
Attaching the connection cable to clothing  
̈ Press the tube of the connec-  
tion cable into the cable grip of  
the MZQ 02 cable clip.  
̈ Attach the cable clip to the rear  
of your collar (see diagram on  
the next page).  
̈ Run the connection cable under  
your clothing.

The supplied hypoallergenic adhesive tape allows you to addition-  
ally fix the connection cable to the neck.  
̈ Remove the white protective foil (A).  
̈ Stick the adhesive tape (B) over the connection cable.  
̈ Remove the thin protective foil (C) from the upper side of the  
adhesive tape.

isopropyl alcohol.  
̈ Carefully brush off the sound  
inlet basket.  
̈ Allow the sound inlet basket to  
air dry for approx. 1 hour so  
that the remaining isopropyl  
alcohol can evaporate.  
̈ Reattach the sound inlet basket  
to the capsule so that it locks  
into place with an audible click.  
When attaching the sound inlet  
basket, make sure not to cover  
the sound inlet.

Cleaning the contacts of the connection cable  
Over time, salt deposits from sweat can build up on the connector  
and the socket. Clean the connector and the socket using standard  
isopropyl alcohol.  
To loosen the connection:
