Neumann BCM 104 Black Edition Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone, Black

The BCM 104 does not include a boom arm or microphone cable.

If the spoken word is your art, vocation, or passion, we'd like to introduce you to the Neumann BCM 104. This special edition black model is expertly crafted to meet the needs of radio DJs, announcers, newscasters, talk show hosts, and podcasters, providing the most immediate connection between you and your listeners. The large diaphragm condenser capsule captures every nuance of your voice with exceptional clarity and minimal coloration. The BCM 104 boasts an industry-standard boom arm (not included) compatibility, an elastic mount to minimize structure-borne noise and an integrated pop screen to protect against air blasts and plosives. All they hear is your voice. The headgrille is easily detachable for quick cleaning, ensuring hygiene. The mic features an extremely low self-noise of 7 dB-A and handles sound pressure levels up to 138 dB without distortion, thanks to its transformerless balanced output which minimizes hum interference and extraneous signals. It includes a subsonic filter for frequencies below 20 Hz, an optional 100 Hz low cut for proximity effect compensation, and a hidden 14 dB pre-attenuation switch for compatibility with dynamic microphone equipment. The fixed cardioid pattern ensures excellent off-axis sound rejection, while its linear frequency response, with a gentle presence boost around 4 kHz and added air above 10 kHz produces highly intelligible speech. The BCM 104's sleek design and black metal finish offer unobtrusive elegance, professional functionality, and world-class audio.
