Sennheiser MKE 1 Clip-On Lavalier Microphone

The MKE 1 is Sennheiser's smallest clip-on microphone ideal for inconspicuous, powerful audio for musicals, live shows, or broadcasting applications.

Featuring a newly developed, moisture-resistant protective membrane, the MKE 1 stands up better than other clip-on microphones to harsh live conditions. Its special gauze and multi-purpose cap offer additional protection from moisture so that it only picks up what it is meant to pick up - perfect sound. The ultra-thin, heavy-duty cable with molded anti-kink sleeve minimizes handling noise and makes this a microphone you can rely upon completely.

About Lavalier Microphones at Sound Productions

Lavalier microphones are miniature mics specifically engineered for capturing audio discreetly, while providing hands-free operation and flexibility of movement. Lav mics are also called lavs, lapel mics, clip mics, body mics, collar mics, neck mics, or personal mics. A great choice for stage use, their low-profile design also makes it easy to keep your audience’s focus on your performance.

Popular in TV, theater, interviews, and stage environments such as houses of worship or lecture halls, lavalier microphones are ideal for applications where you need hands-free versatility while maintaining optimal sound quality. Easy to camouflage, lavs are generally attached on or beneath clothing and can be clipped into hair for a virtually invisible mic placement for actors, singers, public speakers, and more. With options that are built to resist water, sweat, and makeup, lavalier mics are designed to deliver the quality and reliability you require, day after day.

Give your vocals great scope in a small package with lavalier microphones from Sound Productions. Lightweight and flexible, headworn mics come in a wide range of styles, polar patterns, and offer a variety of accessories to ensure you find the model that best fits your needs. Choose between an earset option (which rests on one ear) or a headset (which rests on both) for a secure, comfortable fit.
