Audio-Technica BP899cH Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone, 4 Pin Connector

The Audio-Technica BP899cH Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone, 4 Pin Connector is a low-profile, high-performing microphone specifically designed to deliver clear and natural audio. Ideal for stage performers, television talent, lecturers, and worship leaders, this microphone ensures impeccable sound quality with its wide dynamic range and ability to handle high sound pressure levels. The microphone is also highly suitable for theater use, thanks to its low-sensitivity models. Its durability and performance are bolstered by the protective mesh covering the diaphragm opening, blocking moisture and maintaining frequency response.

With the included resonance caps, the BP899cH mic further enhances intelligibility by redirecting sweat and moisture away from the microphone. This meticulous design guarantees that the microphone remains effective even during active performances or sports broadcasts. Two windscreens are included, each featuring a secure clasp to prevent accidental detachment. The mic's robust urethane elastomer cable is flexible and resistant to abrasion, while the copper-tin cable alloy ensures long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance. For those needing directional miking, the BP898 with its cardioid capsule comes recommended.

The BP899cH's clothing clip provides dual strain relief points to isolate the microphone from mechanical noise transferred over the cable. Additionally, the clip allows for 16 distinct angle adjustments over 360 degrees, offering versatile positioning options. This microphone is also RoHS compliant, meaning it is free from harmful substances as per EU directives. Encased in a robust metal structure, the BP899cH's capsule is shielded from electromagnetic interference, promising reliable electronic performance.
