motion conveyed with technical perfec­tion. This 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.

The BCM 705 is Neumann’s first dynamic mi­crophone. The housing and headgrille are iden­tical to those of the BCM 104; only the green
logo indicates that this is
something new from Neu­mann. The principle of reduc­tion to the essentials can be
seen in the dynamic capsule

with a hypercardioid direc-

tional characteristic, specif-

ically designed for speech

reproduction at close

range. Multi-level isola­tion from structure­borne noise ensures operation free of in­terference, even in a lively studio envi­ronment.

Mechanical Features

* The design of the
microphone is a
registered design of the
Georg Neumann GmbH
in certain countries.

The microphone headgrille twists off

easily for quick cleaning. Neumann of-

fers optional, color-coded headgrilles

so that, for reasons of hygiene, each

announcer can use his or her individ-

ual 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 elastic mount against

structure-borne noise, that is com­patible with standard broadcast-seg-

ment microphone arms.

Acoustic Features

The frequency response has a
light treble boost, in the region

from 2 kHz to 9 kHz, aiding the
speech intelligibility. The bass fre-

quency response is designed to
compensate for the overemphasis

of the bass caused by the prox­imity effect.
