Omnidirectional Dynamic Microphone
Features
• Professional omnidirectional dynamic microphone with extended length handle is ideal for on-location interviews
• The back-cavity assembly “oats” inside the handle shell,
providing exceptional isolation from handling noise
• Frequency response is tailored for natural, clear and articulate
reproduction of spoken words
• Omnidirectional polar pattern provides a natural reproduction
of surrounding ambience
• Rugged housing with hardened-steel grille stands up to eld use
• Integral windscreen protects against wind and breath noise
• Equipped with foam windscreen, carrying case, protective pouch
and professional stand clamp
Description
The BP4002 is a dynamic microphone with an omnidirectional polar
pattern. It is designed primarily for on-location interviews.

The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.
The microphone is enclosed in a rugged housing. The included AT8470
Quiet-Flex™ stand clamp permits mounting on any microphone stand
with 5/8"-27 threads. A foam windscreen, carrying case and soft protective
pouch are also included.
Operation and Maintenance
Output is low impedance (Lo-Z) balanced. The signal appears across Pins
2 and 3; Pin 1 is ground (shield). Output phase is “Pin 2 hot”— positive
acoustic pressure produces positive voltage at Pin 2.
To avoid phase cancellation and poor sound, all mic cables must be wired
consistently: Pin 1-to-Pin 1, etc. For a high-impedance (Hi-Z) mic input,
connect a Lo-Z balanced cable to a Hi-Z matching transformer at the
equipment input.
Take care to keep foreign particles from entering the windscreen. An
accumulation of iron or steel lings on the diaphragm, and/or foreign
material in the windscreen’s mesh surface, can degrade performance.
