Sennheiser MKE 1-4 – Professional Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone The Sennheiser MKE 1-4 is the smallest professional lavalier microphone in the German manufacturer's lineup, designed for situations where the microphone must remain practically invisible while delivering excellent sound quality. This unique clip-on microphone, with a capsule diameter of just 3.3 mm, is used wherever discretion, reliability, and perfect sound are paramount. Product Features Very small dimensions – a capsule diameter of just 3.3 mm makes the microphone almost invisible during use. High maximum sound pressure level (142 dB) ensures clear sound even in the loudest stage conditions. Very high speech intelligibility with clear and pleasant high frequencies ensures natural, full sound with minimal ambient noise. Thin and durable cable with a diameter of just 1 mm, reinforced with Kevlar, is flexible and generates minimal cable noise. High sweat resistance thanks to a newly developed protective membrane makes this microphone a reliable work tool in extreme conditions. Unmatched Discretion and Professional Sound Quality The Sennheiser MKE 1-4 lavalier microphone was designed with professionals in mind who need a device that combines extremely compact size with the highest quality sound reproduction. The omnidirectional polar pattern ensures uniform signal collection from all directions, making this microphone an ideal solution for people moving on stage, hosting television programs, or participating in live broadcasts. The frequency response covering the range from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz with a tolerance of just -2.5 dB guarantees faithful reproduction of the entire acoustic spectrum – from deep bass to the most delicate treble. Sensitivity of 5 mV/Pa allows for precise capture of even the quietest vocal nuances, while the high maximum SPL protects against distortion during loud vocals or instruments. The microphone weighs only 0.1 g, making it completely unnoticeable to wear, which is crucial during long performances or broadcasts. Low self-noise of 39 dB ensures the signal remains clean and free from unwanted artifacts, even in demanding studio and stage conditions.

Thanks to this, the cable with a diameter of just 1 mm retains full flexibility while being resistant to mechanical damage. A specially shaped anti-bend sleeve minimizes the risk of cable breakage at critical points. A newly developed protective membrane effectively protects the microphone capsule from sweat and moisture, which is crucial during intense live performances under stage lights. The use of special gauze and a multi-functional cap provides additional protection against moisture, ensuring the microphone picks up only the sound it was designed for.
