motion conveyed with technical perfection. This is
the ideal which the Neumann microphones in the Broad-
cast 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.
With its large-diaphragm condenser capsule and cardioid
directional characteristic, the BCM 104 is ideal for the faith-
ful reproduction of speech and music. This is due, for in-
stance, to the frequency response that is flat up to 3kHz
and then gradually boosted in the higher frequencies. If re-
quired, internal switches can be used to compensate for
the proximity effect and to reduce the sensitivity by 14 dB.
The versatility of the BCM 104 can be seen in its wide range
of applications, from news, to round-table discussions, to
radio plays, to musical recordings.
Mechanical Features
The microphone headgrille twists off easily for quick
cleaning. Neumann offers optional color-coded head-
grilles so that, for reasons of hygiene, each announcer
can use his or her individual headgrille. In front of the
capsule, mounted on a frame holder, a fine gauze
serves as a built-in popscreen.
The microphones of the Broadcast Line have an elas-
tic mount against structure-borne noise, that is com-
patible with standard broadcast-segment micro-
phone arms.
Acoustic Features
The microphone headgrille houses the K 04 large-
diaphragm capsule, which has a flat frequency re-
sponse up to 3kHz. Higher frequencies have an
increased presence up to 2 dB.
Since the above-mentioned microphone charac-
teristics are obtained without the use of reso-
nance effects, the microphone features excellent
transient response and transmits all transient
phenomena of music and speech without any
coloration.
The integrated Pop Screen
A pop screen not only prevents the occurrence
of plosive pop noises in vocal recordings, but also
efficiently prevents unwanted particles, from
respiratory moisture, nicotine, to food remnants,
from settling on the diaphragm. The pop screen
can be removed for cleaning without the use of
tools.
