The BP892x is a headworn condenser microphone with an omnidirectional polar pattern. It is designed to provide intelligible natural audio for stage and television talent, lecturers and houses of worship. The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation (wired only).The microphone includes a 1.4 m (55") detachable, field-replaceable cable. Its free end connects to the provided AT8545 power module via a screw-down 4-pin connector. The connector is also available in a variety of terminations for use with Audio-Technica and other manufacturers' body-pack transmitters. The output of the power module is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector. A recessed switch in the power module permits choice of flat response or low-frequency rolloff (via integral 80 Hz high-pass UniSteep® filter) to help control undesired ambient noise. The microphone comes equipped with a power module, a cable clip, a dual-ear mount, two windscreens, two element covers, a moisture guard, a belt clip and a protective carrying case. The microphone comes in beige color.
Wireless MicroSet®
The BP892x is a headworn condenser microphone with an omnidirectional polar pattern. It is designed to provide intelligible natural audio for stage and television talent, lecturers, and worship leaders. The microphone includes a 1.4 m (55") detachable, field-replaceable cable that is comes in a variety of terminations for use in wired and wireless applications, as indicated below. BP892xcW-TH: Terminated with a cW-style locking 4-pin connector for use with Audio-Technica wireless systems featuring cW-style connector. The wired model (BP892x-TH) require 11V to 52V phantom power for operation. Included for this purpose is the AT8545 power module, which is equipped with a cH-style screw-down 4-pin input connector and a 3-pin XLRM-type output connector. A recessed switch in the power module permits choice of flat response or low-frequency roll-off (via integral 80 Hz high-pass UniSteep® filter) to help control undesired ambient noise. A belt clip is also included to hold the power module. Microphone comes with a cable clip, a dual-ear adapter kit, two windscreens, two element covers, a moisture guard, and a protective carrying case.
Operation and Maintenance
TThe BP892x requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation (wired only). Output is low impedance (Lo-Z) balanced. The signal appears across Pins 2 and 3; Pin 1 is ground (shield). Output phase is "Pin 2 hot"-positive acoustic pressure produces positive voltage at Pin 2.The AT8545 power module included with wired models is equipped with an 80 Hz highpass UniSteep® filter that provides easy switching from a flat frequency response to a low-end roll-off. The roll-off position reduces the microphone's sensitivity to popping in close vocal use. It also reduces the pickup of low-frequency ambient noise (such as traffic, air-handling systems, etc.), room reverberation and mechanically coupled vibrations. To engage the UniSteep® filter, use the end tip of a paperclip or other small pointed instrument to slide the switch toward the "bent" line. The flexible design of the BP892x MicroSet enables it to be worn on either the left or right ear. Bend a gentle upward curve in the microphone's boom, then hook the lightweight contoured loop around the back of your ear, so that the boom extends from the bottom ofyour ear. Adjust the boom as needed to follow the contour of your face, positioning the microphone near the corner of your mouth. The microphone has a large acoustical sweet spot; experiment with placement near the corner of your mouth for optimal performance. A cable clip is provided for strain relief, allowing the microphone to remain securely in place without the weight of the cable pulling on the headset. To use the clip, slip the cable into the clip's cable-holding groove, then attach the clip to your clothing, leaving enough slack in the microphone cable to allow for free, comfortable motion. The included AT8464x Dual-Ear Adapter Kit allows you to convert the BP892x to a dual-ear unit for increased stability and comfort. The BP892x attaches to either side of the adapter so that the microphone can be worn to either the left or right of your mouth. The headband easily adjusts to fit both children and adults.
How to use the Dual-Ear Microphone Mount
1. Insert the rounded end of your BP892x ear hook into the larger opening of the adapter's left or right tapered holder. Firmly seat the ear hook in the tapered holder.
2. Insert the small rounded end of the additional supplied ear hook into the larger opening of the adapter's remaining tapered holder. Firmly seat the ear hook in the tapered holder.
3. Open the adapter's adjustable behind-the-neck headband to its maximum position by pushing the headband's adjusting tabs together (a). Put the behind-the-neck headband on, hooking the ear hooks over your ears. Adjust the fit of the headband as needed by sliding the headband's adjusting tabs until you arrive at a secure, comfortable fit (a). Attach the microphone cable to the cable clip positioned between the headband's adjusting tabs (b).
The donut-shaped moisture guard is provided to protect the element from sweat and moisture. Position the moisture guard as close to the element as possible to provide maximum protection. To remove the moisture guard, first remove the element cover and place it out of harm's way.Gently slide the moisture guard over the element. Replace the element cover. Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for extended periods. Extremely high humidity should also be avoided.
