Product Highlight Series – Audio-Technica BP898cH Wireless Lapel Mic
Posted by Tom Brown on 27/08/2026
Lapel microphones are a practical choice when speakers, presenters or performers need clear audio without being restricted by a handheld microphone. Worn discreetly on clothing, they allow the user to move naturally while keeping their hands free. They are particularly useful for presentations, conferences, live events and stage productions where freedom of movement is important.
As part of our ongoing product highlight series, we’re introducing a new addition to our hire stock: the Audio-Technica BP898cH wireless lapel microphone. Designed to provide clear, intelligible audio from a compact device, it is a suitable option for a range of events and applications.
Compact and Discreet Design
The Audio-Technica BP898cH is a low-profile cardioid condenser lavalier microphone, designed to sit discreetly on the user’s clothing. Its compact design allows it to be clipped neatly onto a lapel or other suitable area of clothing, keeping the microphone minimally visible while still providing clear audio.
Its wireless configuration also gives the user greater freedom of movement. Rather than being restricted by a microphone cable or needing to hold a handheld microphone, presenters and performers can move naturally while keeping their hands free.
Despite its small size, the BP898cH is designed to deliver intelligible, high-quality audio, making it well suited to situations where clear speech needs to be captured without the microphone becoming a prominent part of the setup.
Suitable for a Range of Applications
The BP898cH is now available to hire from AV Xpert and can be used across a wide range of events.
For corporate events and conferences, it can provide a convenient option for lecturers, guest speakers and presenters who need to move freely while speaking. They can also be used for hybrid conferences, where clear speech is important both for the audience in the room and for those joining remotely.
Beyond corporate events, the BP898cH can be used by worship leaders, as well as for stage productions and live performances, where hands-free operation and discreet microphone placement are important.
High-Quality, Intelligible Audio
Audio quality is an important consideration when choosing a lapel microphone. The BP898cH is designed to provide maximum intelligibility with clean and accurate audio reproduction, helping speech remain clear and easy to understand.
The microphone's cardioid element provides focused pickup, helping to reduce unwanted background noise and other sounds from outside the main pickup area.
The BP898cH also offers a wide dynamic range and tolerance for high sound pressure levels.
