Audio-Technica BP893xCT4 Omnidirectional Earset with Detachable Cable, TA4F Connector, Black

The Audio-Technica BP893xCT4 Omnidirectional Earset is a premier solution for professionals seeking high-quality, natural vocal reproduction with a discreet profile. This earset combines an ergonomic, under-ear design with an extremely unobtrusive 0.2" boom, making it ideal for applications where a low visual presence is desired. The omnidirectional subminiature condenser capsule is expertly tailored for natural vocal pickup, similar to the performance of a high-quality lavalier microphone. Featuring a detachable, field-replaceable cable, this unit provides versatility for both wired and wireless applications, making it a reliable choice for various professional settings.

One of the standout components of the BP893xCT4 is its comfort and secure placement. The earset hooks around the back of either ear with the boom extending from below, ensuring it remains inconspicuous without sacrificing stability. For additional comfort and stability, the included AT8464x Dual-Ear Adapter Kit converts the single-ear MicroSet to a dual-ear unit, catering to extended wear during long performances or presentations. The construction of the device, using hypoallergenic materials, ensures a comfortable experience for all users.

With an extended frequency response, the BP893xCT4 ensures that every nuance of the vocal performance is captured accurately. The wired version’s power module (AT8545) includes a high-pass filter that offers low-frequency attenuation, enhancing sound pickup without affecting voice quality. Overall, this earset by Audio-Technica is a blend of discreet design, high-quality audio reproduction, and versatile application possibilities.
