Audio-Technica BP898 Overview

The black Audio-Technica BP898cW is a durable, cardioid lavalier microphone equipped with a permanently attached 55" cable terminated with a locking, 4-pin cW-style connector for Audio-Technica wireless transmitters. The subminiature size is visually discreet, making the mic easy to conceal while providing clear, intelligible speech and vocals for vocalists, lecturers, stage and television talent, and worship leaders.

The directionality of the BP898 cardioid element has a pronounced proximity effect when used at close range, enhancing the user's voice. This low-frequency enhancement drops off when the microphone is used at a distance. The mic's cable is made of a robust urethane elastomer that provides ultimate flexibility and strength, while resisting abrasion and moisture, providing reliable performance for film/TV work, theater, houses of worship, and professional events.

  • The microphone capsule is housed in a rugged metal structure to shield the electronic circuitry from external electromagnetic noise

AT BP898cw mic review

The lapel mic is nice and small for our wireless mic in a church setting. Sound quality is good. The only thing that made me scratch my head was the long size of the wind screen. It makes the mic no longer so subminiature. I am pleased with the mic, but just wish the wind screen wasn't so large. Thanks for a good product.
