Neumann BCM 104

With its large-diaphragm condenser capsule and cardioid directional characteristic, the BCM104 is ideal for the faithful reproduction of speech and music. This is due, for instance, to the frequency response that is flat up to 3kHz and then gradually boosted in the higher frequencies. If required, internal switches can be employed to compensate for... morethe proximity effect and to reduce the sensitivity by 14dB. The versatility of the BCM104 can be seen in its wide range of applications, from news, to round-table discussions, to radio plays, to musical recordings.Neumann Broadcast LineEmotion conveyed via technical quality is the ideal which the Neumann microphones in the Broadcast Line have been designed to fulfill. The fine-tuning to the requirements of professional broadcast studios and the individual, functionally-optimized design ensure that these are microphones of character.ApplicationsNews • Round-table discussions • Radio plays • Musical recordingsFeaturesLarge-diaphragm condenser capsuleCardioid directional characteristicCharacteristic, functionally-optimized designIntegrated, neutral pop protectionIntegrated elastic suspensionIndividual headgrilles for different usersColored rings to identify the replacement headgrillesEasy removal and cleaning of microphone headgrille (with bayonet mount)Mechanical compatibility with standard studio boom armsInternal switches: high-pass and pre-attenuationSpecificationsAcoustical operating principle: Pressure gradient transducerDirectional pattern: CardioidFrequency range: 20Hz - 20kHzSensitivity @ 1kHz into 1kΩ: 22mV/Pa-14dB attenuation: 4.4mV/PaRated impedance: 50ΩRated load impedance: 1000ΩEquivalent SPL CCIR468-3: 18dBEquivalent SPL DIN/IEC651: 7dB-AMaximum SPL for THD 0.5%: 138dBMaximum SPL for THD 0.5% with pre-attenuation: 152dBS/N ratio CCIR468-3: 76dBS/N ratio DIN/IEC651: 87dBMaximum output voltage: 10dBuDyn. range of the mic. amplifier DIN/IEC651: 131dBSupply voltage: 48V ± 4VCurrent consumption: 3.2mAMatching connector: XLR 3FWeight: 500gDimensions (DIa. x L): 64 x 85mm Neumann BCM 104 Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Broadcast Microphone.

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 be... moretween 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.Neumann BCM 104 Black Edition Features:Functionally optimized designSpecially designed large diaphragm condenser capsuleTight cardioid patternIntegrated pop screen and shock mountHeadgrille twists off easily for quick cleaningInternal pad and low cut switchesNeumann BCM 104 Black Edition Specifications:Acoustical operating principle: Pressure gradient transducerDirectional Pattern: CardioidFrequency Range: 20 Hz ... 20 kHzSensitivity at 1 kHz into 1 kohm: 22 mV/Pa = –33.1 dBV ± 1 dBSensitivity at –14 dB attenuation: 4.4 mV/PaRated Impedance: 50 ohmsRated load impedance: 1 kohmsEquivalent noise level, CCIR¹?: 18 dBEquivalent noise level, A-weighted¹;?: 7 dB-AMaximum SPL for THD 0.5%²?: 138 dBMaximum SPL for THD 0.5% with preattenuation²?: 152 dBSignal-to-noise ratio, CCIR (re. 94 dB SPL)¹?: 76 dBSignal-to-noise ratio, A-weighted (re. 94 dB SPL)¹?: 87 dBMaximum output voltage: 10 dBuSupply voltage (P48, IEC 61938): 48 V ± 4 VCurrent consumption (P48, IEC 61938): 3.2 mAMatching connector: XLR 3 FWeight: 500 gDiameter: 64 mmLength: 85 mmHeight: 110 mm (without suspension) Neumann BCM 104 Black Edition Large Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone, Black.
