EXPO, WASHINGTON, DC, December 2, 2009 — Audio-Technica
displays its smallest lavalier offering to date, the BP896
MicroPoint™ Subminiature Omnidirectional Condenser Lavalier
Microphone. Intended for capture of high-quality audio
with an unobtrusive profile, the BP896 provides maximum intelligibility
and clean, accurate reproduction for broadcasters, lecturers, church/house
of worship users, actors and presenters. The BP896 capsule measures
a mere 2.5 mm in diameter, making it ideal for applications requiring
minimum visibility. The microphone operates on phantom power and includes
a complete accessory kit. The BP896 is available in black and beige
wired and wireless models. The wireless offerings include a multitude
of terminations designed to work with Audio-Technica and other manufacturers’
wireless systems.
The
ruggedly designed BP896 MicroPoint handles high SPLs and offers a
wide frequency response. The subminiature omni element is enclosed
in a durable, low-profile housing with internal construction designed
to minimize noise from handling, clothing and wind. The microphone
plugs into the included AT8539 power module, which provides a low-frequency
roll-off switch and an integral XLR3M connector supplying a low-impedance
balanced output. The extensive accessory kit includes a clothing clip
base, viper clip base, three single mic holders, two double mic holders,
two windscreens, and six element covers (two each in black, white,
and beige) for blending in with users’ attire. A protective
carrying case is also included.
