Cardioid Condenser Microphone|Subminiature cardioid condenser lavalier microphone withphantom power operation
The Audio-Technica BP898 Subminiature Cardioid Condenser Lavalier Microphone provides high-quality, natural-sounding audio for professional environments. This low-profile microphone handles wide dynamic ranges and high sound pressure levels, making it suitable for stage performers, television talent, lecturers, and worship leaders.
The BP898 features a cardioid element that provides directional pickup to focus on the intended sound source. This design creates a pronounced proximity effect at close range, which enhances the low-frequency response of the user's voice for a fuller sound. Applications requiring greater distance or a less focused pickup benefit from the BP899 omnidirectional capsule model.
This microphone utilizes a subminiature design with a diameter of 5.3 mm to maintain minimum visibility on camera or stage. The capsule resides within a rugged metal structure that shields internal electronic circuitry from external electromagnetic noise. For increased longevity, the internal signal line consists of a high-durability CuSn (copper and tin) alloy that resists corrosion. The BP898 is also RoHS compliant, meeting European Union directives regarding hazardous substances.
The 55-inch (1.4 m) permanently attached cable features a robust urethane elastomer jacket with a double-spiral shield wire. This construction provides flexibility and strength while resisting moisture and abrasion.
Included accessories enhance performance in various environments:
The BP898 is available in several configurations to support both wired and wireless systems:
