lavalier
Dangling neck jewel
A lavalier is a small microphone designed to clip onto clothing, typically near the collar or lapel.
It allows hands-free recording while keeping the mic close to the speaker's mouth: The interviewer clipped a lavalier to her guest's jacket.
Also called a lapel mic.
The word originally meant a pendant worn on a chain around the neck, which explains the microphone's name—both hang near the chest.
