Its characteristic shape is functionally optimized for use with industry standard microphone boom arms. Thanks to its elastic mount, the BCM 104 is well protected against structure borne noise. An integrated pop screen behind the headgrille protects the capsule from air blasts and plosives. For increased hygiene, the headgrille twists off easily for quick cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe large diaphragm condenser capsule of the BCM 104 captures each nuance of your voice without coloration or unwanted artifacts. The BCM 104’s electronic circuit has an extremely low self-noise of only 7 dB-A and can handle enormous sound pressure levels of up to 138 dB without distortion. Its balanced output operates transformerless to ensure minimal hum interference and high common mode rejection against extraneous signals e.g. from computer screens. A subsonic filter suppresses frequencies below 20 Hz. For close speech operation, an optional 100 Hz low cut is available to compensate for the proximity effect. A second switch activates a –14 dB preattenuation to reduce the BCM 104’s output level for use with equipment designed for dynamic microphones (which typically have a much lower sensitivity than condenser microphones). Both switches are hidden inside the microphone as the low cut and preattenuation options are usually selected only once, at setup.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for the human voice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BCM 104 has a fixed cardioid pattern with excellent rejection of rearward sound. Its frequency response is very linear with a gentle presence boost around 4 kHz and a slight treble lift above 10 kHz for enhanced speech intelligibility. Due to its outstanding transient response, the BCM 104 captures each nuance of the human voice with stunning detail. Because of its wide frequency response, the BCM 104 can be used for much more than speech applications, e.g. sung vocals and a wide variety of instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures at a glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFunctionally optimized design\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecially designed large diaphragm condenser capsule\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTight cardioid pattern\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrated pop screen and shock mount\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeadgrille twists off easily for quick cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternal pad and low cut switches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sennheiser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43645213507810,"sku":"NEM-008483","price":28724.7,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/2016\/0917\/products\/bb41dd6baea22b580eb225f7e4bebee8.jpg?v=1669313413"},{"product_id":"neumann-bcm-705-carton-dynamic-hypercardioid","title":"Neumann BCM 705 Dynamic Broadcast Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Right Tool for the Job\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BCM 705 is a cost effective microphone for broadcast and podcast applications.

Dynamic capsules are quite sturdy, and while they sound less natural than condenser transducers, carefully designed specimens – such as this – exhibit a distinctive appeal which has become associated with “the sound of FM”, especially in the United States with its long standing tradition of private radio.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BCM 705 is particularly well suited for local radio stations and small studios as well as demanding streaming and podcast applications. Its hypercardioid pattern and close-speech optimized capsule help to keep extraneous noises off the air, even if the sound-proofing is less than perfect. The BCM 705’s frequency response is specifically tailored for the human voice. A gentle presence boost above 2 kHz enhances speech intelligibility, while a soft bass roll-off compensates for the proximity effect, creating a low-end which is full but never boomy. The BCM 705 does not require phantom power and is extremely easy to setup: Simply connect it to a microphone input, and you’re ready go on air!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough the BCM 705 is primarily designed for speech applications in broadcast and podcast environments, it wouldn’t be a Neumann microphone, if it couldn’t be used in the recording studio, too.
