The name Neumann is almost synonymous with microphones. Each Neumann microphone--even a vintage Neumann microphone--continues to perform above and beyond the level of standard "mics," and the company continues to develop and improve upon its designs. Let's take a brief look at some of the most popular Neumann microphones.The BCM 705 is a great example of a classically innovative and professional Neumann microphone. This wonder is perhaps the perfect studio-grade microphone, and it even features a hypercardioid directional characteristic. Additionally, the BCM 705 features a built in pop screen to ensure that it will perform well with close-range speech. The pop screen can be removed without the use of tools for simple cleaning.
In the realm of radio announcing, Neumann has the professional BCM 104 model. This model is a part of Neumann's Broadcast Line, and it is specially designed for the rigors of radio broadcasting. The BCM 104 features a large-diaphragm condenser capsule which makes use of a cardioid directional pattern. Additionally, the BCM 104 has an elastic mount to help eliminate noise from the arm.
Neumann microphones are not just designed to deliver great sound quality, but also to be good consistent workhorses. If you find a used Neumann microphone, chances are it still performs well today. The BCM 104 comes with a headgrille that is easy to twist off and remove. This makes regular maintenance and cleaning a snap. These mics even have color-coded head grilles so that each announcer can have his own. This is a great boost to hygienic announcing, and it can help stave off the spread of common illnesses.
