Item # BP899LCW-TH
SUBMINIATURE OMNIDIRECTIONAL CONDENSER LAVALIER MICROPHONE WITH 55" CABLE TERMINATED WITH LOCKING
- UM: EA
- Brand: AUDIO-TECHNICA
The BP899 is a low-profile lapel omnidirectional condenser with terminations for wired or wireless use. The microphone’s wide dynamic range and tolerance for high sound pressure levels ensures intelligible, natural-sounding audio that’s ideal for use by stage and television talent, lecturers, and worship leaders. Low-sensitivity models are also available for theater use. The diaphragm opening is covered by an acoustically transparent, moisture-repellent protective mesh that delivers maximum frequency response and lasting performance.
An included resonance cap can be applied to the microphone to provide even greater intelligibility, and it is designed to direct sweat and other moisture away from the microphone. The two included windscreens each feature a clasp that secures the windscreen to the mic and prevents it from accidently falling off, which can be critical during active use of the microphone for performances or sports. If up-close, directional miking is needed, the BP898 with cardioid capsule is recommended.
The mic’s cable is made of a robust urethane elastomer that provides ultimate flexibility and strength, while resisting abrasion and moisture. The mic comes with a clothing clip that features two strain-relief points that isolate the mic from mechanical noise transferred over the cable.
low-sensitivity version of BP899cW; 55" (1.4 m) permanently attached cable terminated with a locking 4-pin connector for use with Audio-Technica cW-style body-pack wireless transmitters; no power module; beige.
Features
Maximum intelligibility and clean, accurate reproduction for vocalists, lecturers, stage and television talent, and worship leaders
Low-profile design (a mere 5.3 mm in diameter) is ideal for applications requiring minimum visibility
Urethane elastomer cable with a double-spiral shield wire provides ultimate flexibility, strength, and resistance to abrasion and moisture
Open-diaphragm design with protective mesh that repels sweat and other moisture for maximum frequency response and lasting performance
Included resonance caps can be applied to microphone to improve intelligibility
Low-sensitivity models available for theater use or other high-SPL applications
RoHS compliant – free from all substances specified in the EU directive on hazardous substances
The microphone capsule is housed in a rugged metal structure to shield the electronic circuitry from external electromagnetic noise
The signal line of the cable is made of a high-durability CuSn (copper and tin) alloy that greatly enhances corrosion resistance and increases longevity
Two included windscreens each feature a clasp that secures the windscreen to the mic, preventing it from blowing off in critical situations, such as at sporting events
Clothing clip includes 16 distinct angle adjustments over 360° and two strain-relief clips for easy cable routing
