Audio-Technica BP899cW Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone, 4 Pin HRS

The Audio-Technica BP899cW Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone is designed for ultimate clarity, performance, and discretion. This versatile microphone supports both wired and wireless applications and is the go-to choice for stage and television talent, lecturers, and worship leaders. The low-profile design, mere 5.3 mm in diameter, ensures minimal visibility, making it perfect for professional settings where appearance matters. Featuring a wide dynamic range and the ability to handle high sound pressure levels, the BP899cW delivers natural-sounding, intelligible audio that enhances any performance or presentation.

Built to withstand the rigors of active use, the BP899cW includes an ingenious acoustically transparent, moisture-repellent mesh covering the diaphragm opening, ensuring maximum frequency response and long-lasting performance. A unique resonance cap can further enhance intelligibility, directing sweat and other moisture away from the microphone. Notably, two windscreens with secure clasps are provided to keep the windscreen in place during demanding activities, such as sports events or dynamic stage performances.

Durability and flexibility are front and center with the BP899cW. The robust urethane elastomer cable, reinforced with a double-spiral shield wire, offers outstanding flexibility and resistance to abrasion and moisture. Complementing its rugged build, the cable's signal line, made from a high-durability CuSn (copper and tin) alloy, significantly improves corrosion resistance and extends the lifespan of the microphone. Whether you're a performer needing directional miking or a professional dealing with high-SPL applications, the BP899cW is engineered to meet your exacting demands.
