Audio-Technica BP899cW Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Black, cW-Style Connector)

Product Overview

The Audio-Technica BP899cW is a subminiature omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphone designed for stage, broadcast, lecture, and worship reinforcement. Its low-profile black capsule and wide dynamic range deliver intelligible, natural-sounding speech while tolerating high sound pressure levels. The BP899cW terminates in a locking 4-pin connector for direct use with Audio-Technica cW-style 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 on wireless systems. The 55-inch permanently attached cable is terminated with a locking 4-pin connector for use with Audio-Technica cW-style bodypack wireless transmitters, making the BP899cW a direct fit for live sound and presentation rigs built around cW-style hardware. 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.
