OVERVIEW


The Sennheiser MKE1 miniature lavalier microphone is their smallest professional lavalier microphone to date. Measuring just 3.5mm (0.13") in diameter, the MKE1 is perfectly suited for placement in hair, on the body, clothing, props, accessories, etc.

Audio signal is reproduced transparently, whilst maximum speech and vocal intelligibility is achieved through its omnidirectional pickup pattern and wide frequency response.

The Kevlar-reinforced cable is robust and minimises surface noise. The MKE1's moisture-resistant housing protects it from humidity damage, making it well-suited for actors, performers, and broadcast applications.
