Overview


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

The 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 handling noise. The MKE1's moisture-resistant housing protects against humidity damage, making it perfectly suited for performers, artists and broadcast applications.
