Audio-Technica BP899cW-TH Subminiature Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone (Theater-Beige, cW-Style Connector)

Product Overview

The Audio-Technica BP899cW-TH is a subminiature omnidirectional condenser lavalier microphone finished in a discreet theater-beige color for visible on-talent use. Its low-profile capsule and wide dynamic range deliver intelligible, natural-sounding speech while tolerating high sound pressure levels. The BP899cW-TH 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 theater-beige lavalier microphone is built for stage productions, broadcast, and worship applications where the capsule may remain visible against skin or costume. 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-TH a direct fit for theatrical sound reinforcement 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. 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 maintains consistent levels as performers move across the stage. For close, directional miking applications, the cardioid BP898 is the recommended alternative.
