Neumann’s First Dynamic Mic!
The Neumann BCM 705 marks the legendary company’s first foray into the world of dynamic microphones. While Neumann designed the BCM 705 with broadcast professionals in mind, it also provides engineers with an opportunity to inject the Neumann sound into their electric guitar, bass, and kick drum recordings without putting their high-ticket condenser mic in the line of fire. The BCM 705 brandishes a housing and grille identical to Neumann’s BCM 104 condenser microphone; it’s a top-shelf large-diaphragm mic tailor-made for high-stakes applications where phantom power isn’t available. Moreover, you’ll benefit from plosive- and rumble-free performance, thanks to the BCM 705’s integrated pop filter and elastic suspension. You also get a quick-release head grille, which enables easy cleaning and opens up the possibility of providing individual head grilles for different users. Compatible with standard studio boom-arm mounts, the Neumann BCM 705 is a premium mic for critical studio and broadcast applications alike.
Integrated pop screen and shock absorption
The BCM 705 is equipped with an integrated pop screen that prevents take-ruining plosives in vocal recordings and also effectively protects the diaphragm from moisture and particulate contamination — a common issue with vocal mics. The quick-release head grille can be easily removed for cleaning without the use of tools; for the ultimate in sanitary operation, additional grilles are available, enabling multiple voice artists to each have their own. The BCM 705 is also spec’d with internal elastic-suspension shock absorption that prevents structure-borne rumble for the cleanest possible recordings.
Neumann: the first name in professional microphones
In 1928, Georg Neumann founded the company that bears his name and introduced the first mass-produced condenser microphone. Ever since, the Neumann badge has stood for unwavering quality. Neumann’s instantly recognizable diamond is more than a corporate logo — it is a quality seal. Every microphone that bears it is a testimony to this proud tradition. As you ponder your future in recording, we’d like to leave you with a tip that, interestingly, has nothing to do with sound. If you have clients coming into your studio, appearances matter — and having no-name microphones set up in your tracking room is probably not the best way to impress them. When your clients see the Neumann badge, they’ll know they’re in a professional studio with serious equipment. The presence of Neumann microphones commands instant respect. They’re classics that tell the world: you’ve arrived.
