Description

The Audio-Technica BP898cH is a durable, cardioid lavalier microphone equipped with a permanently attached 55" cable terminated with a locking, 4-pin cH-style connector for Audio-Technica wireless transmitters. The subminiature size is visually discreet, making the mic easy to conceal while providing clear, intelligible speech and vocals for vocalists, lecturers, stage and television talent, and worship leaders.

The directionality of the BP898cH cardioid element has a pronounced proximity effect when used at close range, enhancing the user's voice. This low-frequency enhancement drops off when the microphone is used at a distance. The mic's cable is made of a robust urethane elastomer that provides ultimate flexibility and strength, while resisting abrasion and moisture, providing reliable performance for film/TV work, theater, houses of worship, and professional events.

Key Features

  • Maximum intelligibility and clean, accurate reproduction for vocalists, lecturers, stage and television talent, and worship leaders
  • Cardioid capsule provides directional pickup with pronounced proximity effect at close range that enhances the user’s voice
  • 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
  • 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 plastic structure that keeps the windscreen secured to the microphone
  • Clothing clip includes 16 distinct angle adjustments over 360° and two strain-relief clips for easy cable routing
