With its ultra light weight of 2g and a capsule diameter of 2.6mm, the BP893 ear-worn microphone is one of the lightest and most discreet microphones of its type on the professional audio market. It sits comfortably on the earlobe, and the extremely unobtrusive one-inch flexible boom sits discreetly over the face, with the 2.6mm pinhead capsule at the end.

“ELECTRET CAPSULE”

The omnidirectional electret capsule provides a clear and natural voice reproduction, similar to that of a high-quality lavalier microphone. Its sleek design makes it ideal for use in theatre, places of worship and broadcast studios.

“LOW-CUT FILTER”

The tubular AT8539 phantom power module that comes with the BP893 is equipped with a low-cut filter that provides excellent low-frequency attenuation, thereby improving the quality of the sound recording, without compromising voice quality.
