The most affordable studio Neumann.

The Neumann BCM 104 Broadcast & Studio Condenser Microphone is Neumann's most affordable studio mic. The large-diaphragm condenser capsule has a cardioid pattern with internally switchable proximity effect compensation. -14dB sensitivity switch. Grille twists off for cleaning. Optional, color-coded head grilles. Exceptionally low self-noise of 7dB(A), 138dB SPL, and a dynamic range of 131dB (DIN/IEC 651) is ideal for vocals. Built-in pop screen. Elastic mount handles structure-borne noise and is compatible with standard broadcast-segment mic arms. Requires phantom power.
