Audio-Technica BP898CH Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Subminiature Lavalier Microphone for Professional Wireless Systems

The Audio-Technica BP898cH is a subminiature cardioid condenser lavalier microphone designed for use with Audio-Technica wireless bodypack transmitters that use a locking cH-style 4-pin connector. It provides clear, intelligible speech and vocal reproduction in a compact, low-visibility form factor, making it well suited for broadcast, theater, worship services, film production, and corporate presentations. Its permanently attached cable and secure connector ensure dependable performance in professional wireless setups.

Cardioid Pickup Pattern for Focused Voice Capture

This lavalier microphone uses a cardioid polar pattern that focuses on the sound source while reducing pickup of surrounding noise. This directional response helps improve speech clarity in environments with stage monitors, ambient crowd noise, or reflective acoustics. When positioned close to the speaker, the microphone exhibits a pronounced proximity effect that adds warmth and presence to the voice, while naturally reducing low-frequency emphasis as distance increases.

Low Profile Design for Discreet On Camera Use

With a capsule diameter of just 5.3 mm, the BP898cH is designed to remain visually unobtrusive on clothing, costumes, or uniforms. Its compact size makes it easy to conceal for video production, television broadcasts, and live performances where minimal visibility is critical. Despite its small size, the microphone maintains consistent tonal balance and reliable output.

Durable Cable Construction for Demanding Applications

The permanently attached 55-inch cable is constructed from a flexible urethane elastomer that resists abrasion and moisture while remaining easy to manage during setup. The signal line uses a copper-tin alloy to improve corrosion resistance and extend cable life. A double-spiral shield wire helps protect the signal from interference, making the microphone suitable for repeated use in demanding production environments.

Rugged Capsule Housing with Noise Protection

The microphone capsule is enclosed in a durable metal housing designed to shield internal electronics from electromagnetic interference. This construction supports clean signal transmission in broadcast and live sound applications where wireless devices, lighting systems, and other electronic equipment are present. The result is stable, consistent audio capture across a wide range of environments.

Complete Accessory Set for Secure Mounting

Included accessories support reliable placement and long-term use. Two locking windscreens help reduce breath noise and resist dislodging during active performances or outdoor events. The included clothing clip offers multiple angle adjustments and integrated strain relief points, allowing precise microphone positioning and secure cable routing for professional results.
