Audio-Technica BP899 Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone, 4 Pin Connector

Audio-Technica BP899 Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone, 4 Pin Connector

The Audio-Technica BP899 is an exceptional low-profile lavalier omnidirectional condenser microphone designed for both wired and wireless use. Its wide dynamic range and high sound pressure level tolerance ensure that it delivers clear, natural-sounding audio, making it the perfect choice for stage and television talent, lecturers, and worship leaders. The microphone's design features a diaphragm opening covered by an acoustically transparent, moisture-repellent protective mesh for maximum frequency response and lasting performance. Additionally, the BP899 includes a resonance cap for even greater intelligibility and specialized safeguards to protect against moisture, ensuring consistent performance in any situation.

The versatility of the BP899 is further showcased through its robust urethane elastomer cable, which provides exceptional flexibility and strength, while also resisting abrasion and moisture. The included clothing clip features two strain-relief points that effectively isolate the microphone from mechanical noise transferred over the cable, ensuring clarity in any setting. For those who require up-close, directional miking, Audio-Technica recommends the BP898 with a cardioid capsule.
