Product Overview
The BP899 is an ideal lavalier microphone for stage and television talent, lecturers, and worship leaders. This low-profile omnidirectional condenser is available with terminations for wired or wireless use, offering the ultimate flexibility and strength and resisting abrasion and moisture. With a wide dynamic range and tolerance for high sound pressure levels, the microphone ensures intelligible, natural-sounding audio every time. The microphone's element is covered by an acoustically transparent, moisture-repellent protective mesh, delivering a natural frequency response and ensuring lasting performance. The included resonance cap further enhances the intelligibility of your audio while directing sweat and other moisture from diminishing performance. You can count on the included windscreens staying put during active use thanks to an integrated clasp that secures them to the mic. Its robust urethane elastomer cable provides ultimate flexibility and strength while resisting abrasion and moisture. The mic comes with a clothing clip that features two strain-relief points that isolate the mic from mechanical noise transferred over the cable. The 55" (1.4 m) permanently attached cable is terminated with a locking 4-pin connector for use with Audio-Technica cW-style body-pack wireless transmitters.
