Audio-Technica BP 899 - This is a low-profile omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphone, with options for wired or wireless use. The microphone's wide dynamic range and tolerance for high sound pressure levels ensure intelligible, natural sound, making it ideal for use on stage and in television, for speakers and leaders. Low-sensitivity models are also available for theatre use. The diaphragm opening is covered by a transparent acoustic protective mesh that repels moisture, providing maximum frequency response and long-lasting performance.
The microphone cable is made from a robust urethane elastomer that offers maximum flexibility and durability, while also resisting abrasion and moisture. The microphone comes with a clothing clip that has two strain relief points, isolating the microphone from mechanical noise transferred through the cable.
Features:
Maximum intelligibility, clean and precise reproduction for vocals, speakers, stage performances, television, or preaching in church
The low-profile design (only 5.3 mm in diameter) is ideal for applications requiring minimal visibility
The urethane elastomer cable with a double spiral shielding wire provides maximum flexibility and resistance to abrasion and moisture
Open diaphragm design with protective mesh that repels moisture for maximum frequency response and long-lasting performance
Included resonance caps can be applied to the microphone to enhance intelligibility
Low-sensitivity models available for theatre or other high SPL applications
RoHS compliant – does not contain substances specified in the EU directive on hazardous substances
The microphone capsule is housed in a robust metal structure to protect the electronic circuits from external electromagnetic noise
The signal line of the cable is made from a highly durable CuSn (copper and tin) alloy, greatly enhancing corrosion resistance and increasing longevity
Two included windscreens, each featuring a clip that secures the windscreen to the microphone, preventing it from popping off in critical situations, such as at sporting events
The clothing clip includes 16 distinct angle adjustments at 360° and two strain relief clips for easy cable management
