Long live radio!
Emotion in technischer Perfektion. Das ist der Anspruch, mit dem Neumann die
Mikrophone der Broadcast Line konzipierte. Die feine Abstimmung auf die Anforderungen in professionellen Rundfunk-Sprecherstudios sowie das eigenständige,
funktionsoptimierte Design machen jedes dieser Mikrophone zu einem echten
„Charakter“. Ob Sie das BCM 104 oder das BCM 705 vorziehen, bleibt letztendlich
eine Frage des persönlichen Geschmacks.
Makes speech captivating.
Emotion 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.
With its large-diaphragm condenser capsule and
cardioid directional characteristic, the BCM 104
is ideal for the faithful reproduction of speech
and music. This is due, for instance, to the frequency response that is flat up to 3 kHz and then
gradually boosted in the higher frequencies. If
required, internal switches can be used to compensate for the proximity effect and to reduce
the sensitivity
by 14 von
dB. The

Makes speech expressive.
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 directional characteristic, specifically designed for speech reproduction at close
range. Multi-level isolation from structure-borne
noise ensures operation free of interference,
even in a lively studio environment.
The condenser microphone
BCM 104
“There‘s no doubt that the Neumann BCM 104 made a big impression – as you would
expect from a very well engineered package – the built-in mount is a really great idea
– and the sound is very, very good.” (Audio Media, March 2004)
“In addition to looking the part of a 21st-century mic, the BCM‘s impressive specs and
sound should please any discerning audio pro.” (MIX Magazine, August 2004)
New: The dynamic microphone
BCM 705
“… since the quality of the BCM 104 is optimal
for broadcast speaking applications. This applies not only to the sound characteristics, but
also to the overall handling features, with the replaceable headgrille, pop protection and hidden
switches for the preattenuation and high-pass
filter.” (Production Partner, September 2003)
“This impressive sound lends the voice a certain authority: the voice always seems clear and comprehensible ... It remains the case that the Neumann name is an indication of quality.” (Cut, March 2005)
“Probably no other manufacturer has so thoroughly considered the details of microphones for radio announcers. The result is a mic which is very convenient to use, with ingenious maintenance and servicing features ...
Altogether, these details will enhance the pleasure of working ‘on air’.” (Production Partner, April 2005)
