Incredible Neumann Vocals For Less! Neumann released the BCM 104 with broadcast professionals in mind. What they didn't necessarily expect is the number of home, project and professional studio owners who have fallen in love with what the BCM 104 does to studio vocals! If your studio lacks that "Neumann sound," the BCM 104 is the perfect microphone to add to your arsenal today for a lot less than you might expect! Neuman BCM 104 at a Glance: The BCM 104 uses the same capsule as the coveted Neumann Solution D microphone! Integrated pop screen Amazingly low noise microphone Unique suspension gives "vintage" vibe to your studio! Killer Neumann Capsule The Neumann BCM 104 microphone headgrille houses the K 04 large-diaphragm capsule, which has a flat frequency response up to 3 kHz. Higher frequencies have an increased presence of 2 dB maximum. Since the above-mentioned microphone characteristics are obtained without the use of resonance 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. Electrical Features Instead of a transformer to couple the microphone output to the supply voltage, the Neumann BCM 104 has an electronic circuit which, like a transformer, provides for good common mode rejection. Interference induced in the balanced modulation line is thus suppressed as usual. With a very low self-noise of 7 dB(A), and an overload capability extending to 138 dB SPL, the Nuemann BCM 104 has a dynamic range of 131 dB. Filter and Preattenuation The Neumann BCM 104 amplifier has a linear operation down to 20 Hz. An active filter efficiently suppresses signals below this frequency. In order to compensate for the proximity effect, a high-pass filter, electronically activated by a switch, is built into the microphone. This filter reduces frequencies below 100 Hz by 12 dB/octave. A 14-dB preattenuation switch is provided in order to adjust the sensitivity, if necessary, to transmission circuits designed for dynamic microphones. But this will increase the self noise by 14 dB. Both switches are located inside the microphone housing. Mounting The preferred mode of operation is to suspend the BCM 104 from a standard studio boom arm. A thread adapter to fit different connector threads is included. In order to provide protection from structure-borne noise, both the capsule and the microphone in its mount are elastically suspended. Nuemann BCM 104 Features: Cardioid microphone for incredible studio vocals, voice overs and broadcast professionals. Large diaphragm condenser capsule with switchable proximity compensation Distinctive design Integrated pop screen Quick release head grille for easy cleaning Individual head grilles available for each user Customer Reviews BCM 104 "REVIEW"   by Carlos A. Gonzalez from Grand Rapids, MI, February 01, 2005 “The Neumann BCM 104 is the ultimate Vocal Microphone for its price range! This microphone looks spectacular and it sounds amazing. “If you ask me the Microphone is under priced…” Carlos A. Gonzalez carlos@carlosgonzalezmusic.com” • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "Although Neumann has released it as a "broadcast microphone," the BCM 104 is equally at home in the home or professional studio. The solid low end on this mic makes it a great choice for vocals that need some beefing up and it really shines on kick drum. And for the home studio or "weekend warrior," this is the best way to get that Neumann sound at an affordable price!"
