        — The AT892 MicroSet™ is ideal for church/house of worship,

          WINTER NAMM SESSION, ANAHEIM, CA, January 20, 2005 — 
          Audio-Technica is introducing the AT892 MicroSet™ subminiature 
          omnidirectional condenser headworn microphone that delivers accurate 
          sound in a tiny package. Representing the latest in miniaturization 
          technology, the MicroSet utilizes a condenser capsule with a diameter 
          of a mere 2.5 mm, making it ideal for applications requiring minimum 
          visibility. In addition, the MicroSet offers an ergonomic, flexible, 
          ultra-lightweight, under-ear design that is both comfortable to wear 
          and highly secure. The MicroSet hooks behind the ear and can be worn 
          for hours without fatigue. Its contoured earpiece stays in place even 
          on the most animated performer/presenter and does not interfere with 
          the user’s eyeglasses. Plus, the MicroSet features the industry-standard 
          Audio-Technica sound that professionals have come to rely on for over 
          40 years.
        Intended for high-quality, low-profile inconspicuous operation, 
          the MicroSet is available in either a non-reflective black or theater-beige 
          finish. It provides maximum intelligibility and clean, accurate reproduction 
          for the most demanding church/house of worship user, lecturer, broadcaster 
          or theater performer. Available in a multitude of terminations to work 
          with A-T and other manufacturers' wireless systems, the MicroSet includes 
          two windscreens, two element covers, a cable clip, and a protective 
          carrying case.
