Specifically engineered to meet the needs of radio DJs, announcers, newscasters, talk-show hosts, podcasters, and streamers, the matte black Neumann BCM 705 mt Broadcast/Podcast Microphone is particularly well suited for local radio stations and small studios as well as demanding streaming and podcast applications. The BCM 705 mt's hypercardioid polar pattern and close-speech-optimized dynamic capsule help to keep extraneous noises off the air, even if the sound-proofing is less than perfect. This model features a matte black finish that's visually unobtrusive while looking classy, making the microphone ideal for on-camera YouTubers—and, of course, for anyone who prefers their studio equipment in black.
Designed for speech reproduction at close range, the mic features an integrated pop screen and a frequency response that compensates for the overemphasis of the bass arising from the proximity effect. Both the capsule and the microphone are elastically suspended in order to provide protection from structure-borne noise and rumble. The foam pop screen protects the capsule from dirt, moisture, and nicotine. For increased hygiene, the head grille twists off easily for quick cleaning. The BCM 705 mt attaches to most standard microphone boom arms.
Dynamic Capsule and Hypercardioid Polar Pattern
- The BCM 705 mt's dynamic capsule is quite sturdy, and while it sounds less natural than a condenser capsule, it exhibits a distinctive appeal which has become associated with "the sound of FM" in the US.
- The 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 mt can handle high SPLs with ease, making it an excellent choice for loud vocalists, bright brass instruments, and powerful guitar cabinets.
- The BCM 705 mt does not require phantom power and is extremely easy to setup:
