The MKE Essential Omni small condenser microphone brings warmth and brilliance to every stage voice. Even at enormous input volumes, the signal remains distortion-free. The new MKE 4 capsule inherits its high standards from Broadway star MKE 2, but its price remains affordable even for smaller productions.
Highly sensitive on the one hand, absolutely stage-safe on the other: the capsule of the MKE Essential Omni is protected against all forms of moisture (typically sweat) by a patented, ultra-light tandem membrane. This not only protects the signal at all times, but also your investment in high-quality miking. Of course, all cable connections are also designed for tensile strength.
Whether on the forehead or on the cheek; with adhesive tape, magnetic holder or Dracula clip, with or without make-up covers, with wind protection, black or skin-colored: the MKE Essential Omni comes with stage-proven accessories and fits every make up and every requirement. It has all the talents to stay inconspicuous – except for its sound, of course.
The MKE Essential Omni (omnidirectional) is designed for demanding everyday use on live stages. The newly developed KE 4 capsule is derived from the Broadway standard MKE 2, with improvements that provide a warm and distortion-free signal, even at high sound pressure levels. Reduced to the essentials, the aspirations of big productions become feasible, even for smaller productions and smaller budgets.
The MKE Essential Omni has multiple safeguards against the tough demands of theatrical productions. A sophisticated patented umbrella diaphragm protects the more sensitive components against sweat. The massive potential of the MKE Essential Omni remains unobtrusive thanks to its lightweight and easy-to-conceal design. If you don’t attach the microphone near your mouth with tape, you have a wide variety of accessories to utilize, including rotatable clips, magnetic mounts and makeup cover-ups.
Available in black and beige.

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.
