BCM 104

The BCM 104 condenser microphone is the first product in the new Broadcast Line, which is especially tailored to the demands of professional radio announcing. What sets the Broadcast Line apart is a completely independent, functionally optimized design derived from extensive 3D simulations.

The large-diaphragm condenser capsule used in the BCM 104 has a cardioid directional pattern with internally switchable proximity effect compensation. A second switch allows the sensitivity to be reduced by 14 dB. The microphone headgrille twists off easily for quick cleaning. Neumann offers optional, color-coded headgrilles so that, for reasons of hygiene, each announcer working at an announcing desk can use his or her individual headgrille. Directly in front of the capsule, mounted on a frame holder, is a piece of fine gauze that serves as a built-in popscreen. The BCM 104 has an elastic mount against structure-borne noise, that is compatible with standard broadcast-segment microphone arms.
