A Reference Lavalier Microphone for "Invisible" Setups
In the professional lavalier microphone world, the Sennheiser MKE 1 stands out as a preferred choice whenever discretion is non-negotiable: musical theater, stage plays, corporate filmed performances, shoots, recordings, television, and broadcasting. Its philosophy is simple: miniaturize as much as possible without sacrificing an immediately usable sound signature, with a clear, stable, and pleasant voice even in complex environments (monitors, room acoustics, movement, costumes).
Designed to integrate naturally with wireless systems, it features a lockable 3.5mm Jack connector compatible with pocket transmitters from the evolution wireless series. The result: a reliable setup, designed for shows where you don't want to "recheck the connection" between stage entrances.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The MKE 1 is primarily aimed at musicians and artists (singing, spoken word, musical theater), technical teams (stage management, live sound), and audiovisual professionals (TV, radio, filming, broadcast) seeking a solution that is both discreet and high-quality. It is especially suitable for situations where the microphone must be placed as close as possible to the source without drawing attention: behind-the-ear, clothing line, hair, costume, or integration into an accessory.
Thanks to its full and natural sound and low sensitivity to ambient noise, it helps maintain a present and intelligible voice even when the stage is lively: movement, fabric rubbing, distance variations, or noisy environments. This is a valuable asset for productions expecting clean capture from the start while retaining mixing flexibility.
