With a
capsule diameter not much bigger than the head of a pin, Audio-Technica's smallest-ever
lavalier microphone virtually disappears in props or clothing to create highest-quality
audio for broadcast and theater
sound reinforcement.
The BP896-TH MicroPoint
omnidirectional lavalier delivers extremely intelligible natural
audio and handles high
sound pressure levels with ease. Its subminiature omni
element is enclosed in a durable housing designed to minimize
noise from handling, clothing and wind. Flip a switch to eliminate low-
frequency hum without affecting intelligibility.
Offered in wired & wireless models, the BP896-TH comes generously equipped with an extensive accessory kit-
mic holders, windscreens,
element covers & more.
