Audio-Technica BP899Lc Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier Microphone, Unterminated, Low Sensitivity

The Audio-Technica BP899Lc is a state-of-the-art omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphone designed for intuitive and natural-sounding audio capture. Its low-profile design coupled with its high sound pressure level tolerance makes it the ideal companion for stage and television talent, lecturers, and worship leaders. This microphone is perfect for applications requiring clear and intelligible sound delivery, and its low-sensitivity models cater to the theater industry, ensuring optimal performance even in high sound-pressure environments. The BP899Lc is built to withstand challenging conditions, thanks to its acoustically transparent, moisture-repellent protective mesh and robust urethane elastomer cable that guarantees flexibility, strength, and resistance to moisture and abrasion.

One of the standout features of the BP899Lc is its wide dynamic range, allowing for a natural and intelligible audio output that is crucial for professional use. The microphone includes an array of accessories designed to enhance its usability and performance. For instance, the included resonance cap can be applied to the microphone to improve intelligibility even further, while the two windscreens with clasps provide security, ensuring that the windscreens stay in place during active performances. The clothing clip features multiple strain relief points, minimizing mechanical noise transferred over the cable, and supports multiple angle adjustments to suit various placement preferences.

Built with a rugged metal structure that shields its electronic circuitry from external electromagnetic noise, the BP899Lc not only excels in performance but also in durability. Its RoHS compliancy means it adheres to EU standards for hazardous substances, making it a safe and enduring investment for any audio professional. Whether for stage, broadcast, theater, or place of worship, the Audio-Technica BP899Lc promises unmatched audio quality and reliability.
