lapel mics

Tiny chest transmitters

Lapel mics are small microphones that clip to clothing near the speaker's mouth, typically on a lapel, collar, or tie.

Also called lavalier mics.

They allow hands-free speaking while maintaining consistent audio quality, common in television interviews, presentations, and theater: The sound tech clipped a lapel mic to her jacket before the interview.
