The Audio-Technica AT892c MicroSet is a headworn microphone featuring a miniature capsule and an inconspicuous, low-profile ear loop. Measuring just 2.5mm in diameter, the miniature omnidirectional capsule is unobtrusive and easily concealed without sacrificing intelligibility and overall sound quality. The omnidirectional polar pattern provides a generous pickup and even frequency response at the off-axis and direct sections of the microphone. The ear loop is concealed behind the ear and underneath hair while providing a lightweight comfortable fit. The AT892c is a perfect solution for stage and television talent, lecturers and houses of worship.

Comments about Audio-Technica AT892c MicroSet Headworn Microphone with Unterminated (Pigtail) Connection (Beige):
I've successfully used the Audio-Technica AT892 earset (headworn mic) several times since I bought it recently at the special B&H sale price of [$]. I've used it with several different presenters and they all seem to like it. I get cleaner recordings because of less rubbing of clothing and turning-of-the-head problems compared with my traditional lav mic. I usually use one of its included wind filters. I like the under-ear/under-chin design better than the over-the-ear (which I've also used); less to see on video or in person; it hits the audio sweet spot (corner of the mouth) easier without gradually moving up the face. On one video recording, the other type of earset moved up almost to the eye level and the presenter didn't notice it to correct it. I'm doing audio recordings with the ZOOM H4 solid-state audio recorder, which I also bought from B&H at the special sale price of [$]. I wired this AT892 to use with my Samson UHF wireless microphone transmitter, but I thought that the Samson three-pin mini-XLR connector was overpriced. Next time I will buy a generic one.
