Description

The Audio-Technica BP899cH is a durable, omnidirectional lavalier microphone equipped with a permanently attached 55" cable terminated with a screw-down, 4-pin cH-style connector for Audio-Technica wireless transmitters. The microphone is engineered to be low-profile and visually discreet while providing clear, intelligible speech and vocals for vocalists, lecturers, stage and television talent, and worship leaders.

The subminiature size makes the mic easy to conceal, while the open-diaphragm design produces a clear, natural sound. An acoustically transparent protective mesh shields the capsule from sweat 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
  • 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
