Audio-Technica BP899LcH Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone, Low Sensitivity

The Audio-Technica BP899LcH Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone is a top-notch solution for professionals seeking clear, natural-sounding audio for various applications. This microphone is perfect for stage and television talent, lecturers, and worship leaders due to its remarkable wide dynamic range and ability to handle high sound pressure levels. With a low-sensitivity model available, it caters to theater use or any other scenario requiring a high-SPL application. Its low-profile design and robust construction make it an excellent choice for discrete use without compromising performance.

The BP899LcH comes equipped with a host of features that ensure maximum intelligibility and lasting performance. Notably, the diaphragm opening is covered by an acoustically transparent, moisture-repellent mesh that maintains peak frequency response even under challenging conditions. For enhanced clarity, the included resonance caps can be used, and the microphone is designed to repel sweat and moisture to maintain optimum performance. The urethane elastomer cable is not only flexible but also extraordinarily durable, making it resistant to abrasion and moisture.

Active users, such as performers or athletes, will find the BP899LcH's two included windscreens indispensable. Each windscreen features a clasp that secures it to the mic, ensuring it stays put during critical situations. The microphone also includes a versatile clothing clip with 16 distinct angle adjustments over 360 degrees, allowing for easy cable routing and secure attachment. With its rugged build and high-durability components, the BP899LcH is designed for professionals who demand reliable, top-quality audio in various environments.
