The Neumann BCM 705 is a dynamic broadcast/podcast microphone featuring a hypercardioid polar pattern and moving coil capsule. Specifically designed for speech applications, it delivers smooth yet clear sound with excellent speech intelligibility without requiring phantom power. The microphone incorporates dual-stage isolation with an elastic mount and internal capsule suspension to minimize mechanical noise, along with an integrated foam pop screen. Its frequency response is optimized for voice with a gentle presence boost above 2 kHz and soft bass roll-off to compensate for proximity effect. Measuring 64 mm in diameter and 110 mm in height, it's engineered for industry-standard boom arm mounting in professional broadcast, podcast, and studio environments.
