Neumann BCM-705 Broadcast Microphone

Engineered to capture the nuances of human emotion, the BCM 705 stands as a testament to precision microphone design. This dynamic microphone features a functionally optimised shape that works seamlessly with industry standard boom arms, while its elastic mount and internal capsule suspension provide dual protection against unwanted rumble. An internal foam screen shields the capsule from pops, dirt, moisture and nicotine, and the twist-off head grille makes cleaning quick and hygienic.

Local radio stations, small studios, and demanding streaming applications will find the BCM 705 particularly well-suited to their needs. The hypercardioid pattern and close-speech optimised capsule effectively reject extraneous noise, even in less-than-perfect acoustic environments. Its frequency response has been specifically tailored for vocal work, with a gentle presence boost above 2 kHz enhancing speech intelligibility, while a soft bass roll-off compensates for proximity effect to create full but never boomy low-end response.

Setup couldn’t be simpler – the BCM 705 requires no phantom power and connects directly to any microphone input for immediate use. While primarily designed for broadcast and podcast applications, this dynamic microphone handles high SPLs with ease, making it equally capable in recording studio environments for screaming vocalists, bright brass instruments, and loud guitar cabinets.
