Sennheiser MEB 114 B

LD Systems BM1 boundary microphone is an electret condenser microphone with hemispherical characteristic. For use on stage or in the studio for miking pianos and grand pianos. Further applications in the field of conference technology, transmission for round table discussions and theatre performances.

Tough as a tank and ready for the stage - the secret weapon for a variety of applications such as kick drums and other high sound pressure level sources.The BL8 is a semi-cardioid boundary microphone that uses the same capsule as the famous sE8 small diaphragm condenser microphone. Its handcrafted condenser capsule uses an ultra-thin, three micron, gold-plated diaphragm for excellent transient response. Designed to reproduce low frequencies with amazing accuracy, the BL8 is perfect for pairing with the V Kick, but can also be used on its own without an additional kick drum mic. It is also compatible with the Kelly Shu Flatz Isolation System, making it ideal for touring applications.The BL8 utilises a Class A transformerless circuit that provides ample headroom without distortion and low-noise electronics for transparency and clarity. The integrated low-cut filter and optional EQ shaping switch make it a very versatile microphone that is ideal for ambient recordings and detailed room miking and can even be used for miking pianos. Thanks to the switchable attenuator, the BL8 prevents sources with high sound pressure levels from overloading the input of your mixing console.The BL8 is robustly built with an all-metal construction, deformation-resistant grille and gold-plated XLR contacts to ensure long-term reliability.Equipped with the familiar 1/2" cardioid sE8 condenser capsule:The BL8 uses the same capsule as the famous sE8 small diaphragm condenser microphone and features a handmade condenser capsule with an ultra-thin, gold-plated 3-micron diaphragm for excellent transient response.Tough as a tank and ready for the road:The BL8 is built tough with an all-metal construction and deformation-resistant grille - perfect for touring and busy stages. The BL8 is also compatible with the Kelly Shu Flatz Isolation System and can be easily integrated into any kick drum.Damping pad and low-cut filter:The integrated low-cut filter and attenuation pad make the BL8 a very versatile microphone that is ideal for ambient recording and room miking and can even be used on pianos, while preventing high sound pressure sources from overloading the mixer input.Classic and modern voicings for live and studio recordings:The ideal studio kick drum sound often differs from our preferences in a live sound environment. Similar to the award-winning V Kick kick drum microphone, the BL8 offers "Classic" and "Modern" voicings. These options cut and model the low mids to emphasise transients and punch. In the centre position, the neutral frequency response of the capsule is maintained, which is ideal for a variety of other applications.Incredible dynamic range in all areas:The BL8 is equipped with a Class A transformerless circuit that provides ample headroom without distortion. Its extremely low-noise electronics enable demanding applications such as miking grand pianos or rooms, while the BL8 also reproduces low frequencies with astonishing accuracy. The BL8 is perfect in combination with the V Kick, but can also be used on its own without an additional kick drum microphone.Gold-plated XLR connector:The BL8 is equipped with a gold-plated XLR connector, which guarantees a loss-free, reliable signal connection for many years.

The Beta 91A combines the pick-up characteristics of the SM91 microphone, which was primarily used for pianos, with the rich punch of the Beta 91, which is particularly popular with low-frequency instruments. This successful combination results in the Beta 91A, a half-cardioid microphone with low background noise that can also handle extremely high sound pressures without any problems. And for even more variable use, the frequency response can be easily adjusted using a switch.
