Audio-Technica BP899cT4 Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black, TA4F Connector)

Product Overview

The Audio-Technica BP899cT4 is a subminiature omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphone designed for stage, broadcast, lecture, and worship reinforcement. Its low-profile capsule and wide dynamic range deliver intelligible, natural-sounding speech while tolerating high sound pressure levels. The black BP899cT4 terminates in a locking TA4F 4-pin connector for direct use with compatible bodypack wireless transmitters. An acoustically transparent, moisture-repellent protective mesh covers the diaphragm opening for consistent frequency response and lasting performance.

Product Description

This Audio-Technica omnidirectional lavalier microphone is built for presenters and performers who need discreet, reliable speech capture. The 55-inch permanently attached cable is terminated with a locking TA4F 4-pin connector for use with Audio-Technica cW-style bodypack wireless transmitters, making the BP899cT4 a practical choice for live sound and presentation systems. An included resonance cap can be applied to the capsule to increase intelligibility while directing sweat and other moisture away from the element. Two included windscreens each feature a clasp that secures the windscreen to the microphone and prevents it from falling off during active use such as performances or sports. The mic cable uses a flexible urethane elastomer jacket that resists abrasion and moisture while maintaining strength. A clothing clip with two strain-relief points isolates the capsule from mechanical noise transferred along the cable. The omnidirectional polar pattern keeps levels consistent as talent moves, reducing the need for constant gain adjustments. For close, directional miking applications, the cardioid BP898 is the recommended alternative. You can compare related Audio-Technica lavalier options at Creation Networks.
