For years we have been asking Audio Technica to bring out a premium
omni-directional lavalier with the audio quality of the MT830 but in a more
popular size and shape. They finally did, and it is better than we imagined!
The AT899 is quite small, only 5mm in diameter at its thickest point. Being
cylindrical in shape with a top facing grill makes it easier to hide under
wardrobe.
Available in standard black as well as Theatre Beige (TH). Configurations
currently include: the Audio Technica wireless 4-pin locking connector; the TA5
mini XLR for LectroSonics and ATW-U101 wireless; the standard TA3 mini XLR for
use with power modules; and bare-wire pigtails for custom connections.
The AT899 sounds comparable to a Sennheiser MKE-2. It has excellent reach and
doubles as a good plant mic. A slight mid-range presence adds clarity to voice.
Like all Audio Technica products, the AT899 is ruggedly built and designed to
hold up under the rigors of field production.
Each unit comes equipped with an assortment of mounting hardware. Included
are two element caps (grills), two foam windscreens (pull-over), one tie bar,
one viper clip, one magnetic clip, three single mic mounts, and two double mic
mounts. The mic mounts can be interchanged in the tie bar and clips. Spare
accessory kits are readily available.
Although we rarely find ourselves in a situation where we would use the
magnetic mic clip on clothing (running the wire down the front of wardrobe looks
unprofessional) -- the magnetic clip is very useful when using the mic as a
plant mic. If the mounting surface is non-magnetic, then use the accompanying
metal backplate as a "tape on".
