MKE 1

Whether for musicals,live shows or broadcasting applications, the MKE 1 – Sennheiser’s smallest clip-on microphone – performs at its best in all situations in which a microphone needs to be virtually invisible and still offer outstanding sound quality.

Featuring a newly developed, moisture-resistant protective membrane, the MKE 1 stands up better than other clip-on microphones to harsh live conditions. Its special gauze and multi-purpose cap offer additional protection from moisture so that it only picks up what it is meant to pick up – perfect sound. The ultra-thin, heavy-duty cable with molded anti-kink sleeve minimizes handling noise and makes this a microphone you can rely upon completely.
