NAMM SUMMER SESSION — Audio-Technica is showing its newest lavalier offering — the AT899 Subminiature Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone. Intended for high-quality, unobtrusive operation, the AT899 provides maximum intelligibility and clean, accurate reproduction for vocalists, lecturers, stage and television talent, and houses of worship. The AT899 is a mere 5 mm in diameter, making it ideal for applications requiring minimum visibility. It operates on battery or phantom power and includes a complete accessory kit. The subminiature omni element is enclosed in a rugged, low-profile housing with internal construction designed to minimize noise from handling, clothing, and wind. The microphone plugs into the included AT8537 power module, which features battery/phantom power operation, low-frequency roll-off switch, and an integral XLR3M connector supplying a low-impedance balanced output. The extensive accessory kit includes single and double mounts, clothing clip, viper clip, magnetic clip, two open-pore foam windscreens, and two metal mesh element covers to protect the condenser element from moisture, makeup, and other contaminants. Also included is a convenient carrying case that holds the microphone and accessories. The AT899 is currently available with an MSRP of $299. Wireless and unterminated versions of the microphone are available in black or theater beige for use with Audio-Technica and other popular wireless systems. MSRP for wireless versions ranges from $179 to $249. The AT899AK Accessory Kit is available separately in both black and beige versions. Individual replacement items, including clothing clips, three-pack element covers, and three-pack windscreens are also available.
