AUDIO-TECHNICA
OFFERS BP892 MICROSET® HEADWORN MICROPHONE
— The high-SPL
successor to Audio-Technica’s popular AT892, the new BP892 offers
increased dynamic range with maximum audio quality, minimum visibility
and a comfortable under-ear design —
GV
EXPO, WASHINGTON, DC, December 2, 2009 — Audio-Technica
offers the BP892
MicroSet® Subminiature Omnidirectional Condenser Headworn Microphone,
handling high SPL’s and delivering accurate sound in a tiny
package. Representing the latest in miniaturization technology, the
new MicroSet utilizes a condenser capsule with a diameter of a mere
2.6 mm, making it ideal for applications requiring minimum visibility.
In addition, the BP892 MicroSet offers an ergonomic, flexible, ultra-lightweight,
under-ear design that is both comfortable to wear and highly secure.
The MicroSet hooks behind the ear and can be worn for hours without
fatigue. Its contoured earpiece stays in place even on the most animated
performer/presenter and does not interfere with the user’s eyeglasses.
Plus, the MicroSet features the industry-standard Audio-Technica sound
that professionals have come to rely on for over 45 years.
Intended
for high-quality, low-profile inconspicuous operation, the BP892 MicroSet
features a new highly durable Parylene coating in either a non-reflective
black or theater-beige finish. The microphone provides maximum intelligibility
and clean, accurate reproduction for the most demanding church/house
of worship user, lecturer, broadcaster or theater performer. With
its high-SPL capability (135 dB), it is particularly ideal for high-volume
motivational speakers/lecturers, pastors and stage actors.
Available
in a wired model as well as in a multitude of terminations to work
with A-T and other manufacturers’ wireless systems, the BP892
MicroSet has an omnidirectional polar pattern and features excellent
performance specifications, including a flat, extended frequency response
(20-20,000 Hz). The wired version features a switchable integral 80
Hz high-pass filter that provides easy switching from a flat frequency
response to a low-end roll-off. The high-pass position reduces the
microphone’s sensitivity to popping; it also reduces the pickup
of low-frequency ambient noise. Output from the power module’s
XLRM-type connector is low impedance (Lo-Z) balanced. The MicroSet
includes a power module (wired version only), two windscreens, two
element covers, a cable clip, a moisture guard and a protective carrying
case.
