Under the spotlight or in the studio, the BP898 Subminiature Cardioid Condenser Lavalier Microphone stands out for its exceptional audio clarity and discreet profile. Designed for versatility, this microphone is available with terminations suitable for both wired and wireless configurations, catering to a broad range of professional audio needs.
The BP898 delivers a wide dynamic range and is capable of handling high sound pressure levels, making it an excellent choice for capturing intelligible, natural-sounding audio. Whether it's for stage performers, television talent, lecturers, or worship leaders, this microphone ensures that every word is heard with crystal-clear precision.
One of the key features of the BP898 is its cardioid pickup pattern, which provides a focused capture of sound. The microphone exhibits a pronounced proximity effect that enhances low-frequency response when used close to the source, enriching the user's vocal presence. This effect diminishes gracefully as the distance from the source increases, allowing for flexible mic placement without compromising sound quality.
For situations requiring a less directional pickup pattern or greater placement flexibility, the BP899 model with an omnidirectional capsule is an alternative option. However, the BP898 remains a top choice for those seeking the audio focus that a cardioid lavalier microphone provides.
Durability is also a hallmark of the BP898, with its cable constructed from a robust urethane elastomer. This material ensures ultimate flexibility and strength, standing up to the rigors of frequent use while resisting abrasion and moisture - essential qualities for equipment used in live performance and outdoor environments.
The microphone is accompanied by a clothing clip designed to minimize mechanical noise. It features two strain-relief points that isolate the microphone from any noise that may be transferred through the cable. Additionally, two windscreens are included to protect against wind noise. Each windscreen is equipped with a secure clasp, ensuring it stays in place even in the most challenging conditions, such as outdoor sporting events.
For those requiring a wired setup, the AT8545 In-Line Type Power Module is a perfect companion to the BP898. This power module is compatible with a range of Audio-Technica lavalier and headset microphones, including the BP892x, BP893x, and BP894x series. It features a cH-style screw-down 4-pin connector input and a 3-pin XLRM-type output, allowing for seamless integration with professional audio systems. The module includes an 80 Hz high-pass filter to eliminate low-frequency noise and comes with a snap-on belt clip for convenience. The permanently attached 55" (1.4 m) cable with a cH-style connector ensures a secure connection and reliable performance.
In summary, the BP898 Subminiature Cardioid Condenser Lavalier Microphone is a testament to Audio-Technica's commitment to providing superior audio solutions. Its thoughtful design, combined with high-quality components, makes it an indispensable tool for professionals seeking impeccable sound reproduction in a discreet and durable package.
