Sennheiser MKE Essential Omni Lavalier Microphone

The Sennheiser MKE Essential delivers the core sonics of the MKE 2 lavalier mic — a standard for musical theater — at an attractive price. This low-profile lav, worn near the performer’s hairline or lapel (clip included), is optimized for speech reproduction in a performance or broadcast setting. It’s powered by Sennheisers 20Hz–20kHz omnidirectional KE 4 microphone capsule, which picks up speakers, presenters, and performers naturally, without hotspots or excessive plosives, while leaving the hands free for gestures and props.

KE 4 omni mic capsule

The Sennheiser MKE Essential’s integrated KE 4 omnidirectional microphone capsule accurately captures your performer or presenter, in stunning 20Hz–20kHz detail, without hotspots and excessive plosives. As a result, the MKE Essential is a lavalier mic whose sonics are as transparent as its footprint.

Transparent lavalier design

Worn on a lapel or tie via the included alligator clip, or positioned near the hairline or glasses, this low-profile lav mic faithfully captures the speaker’s voice without obstructing sight lines.
