body mics

Clip-on audio gear

Body mics are small microphones worn on the body, typically clipped to clothing or hidden under costumes.

They're standard in theater, television, and film when performers need to move freely while staying audible: The stage manager checked everyone's body mics before the show.

Also called lavaliers or lapel mics.
