Neumann BCM104 MT Microphone

The Neumann BCM 104 MT is a professional broadcast condenser microphone designed for radio, podcasting, streaming, and voice-over work. Featuring a cardioid polar pattern, low self-noise, integrated pop filter, and built-in suspension system, it delivers clear, detailed, and natural vocal reproduction for studio and on-air applications.

The Neumann BCM 104 MT is a high-end broadcast microphone engineered specifically for speech-focused applications such as radio broadcasting, podcasting, live streaming, voice-over recording, and announcing. Designed with Neumann’s precision audio engineering, it delivers natural, highly intelligible vocal reproduction with minimal coloration, making it ideal for professional spoken-word environments.

At its core, the BCM 104 MT features a large-diaphragm condenser capsule with a tight cardioid polar pattern, ensuring excellent rejection of off-axis sound and room noise. This focused pickup pattern helps maintain clarity and presence even in untreated or acoustically challenging environments. The microphone supports high sound pressure levels of up to 152 dB (with pad engaged), ensuring clean performance even during loud or dynamic speech delivery.

The microphone includes a built-in -14 dB attenuation pad and a switchable 100 Hz high-pass filter, allowing users to reduce sensitivity when needed and control proximity effect during close-mic operation. These controls are internally mounted for consistent setup once configured.

With an ultra-low self-noise level of approximately 7 dB-A, the BCM 104 MT captures subtle vocal detail without introducing unwanted noise artifacts. Its transformerless output design ensures clean signal transmission with high immunity to electromagnetic interference.

For practical broadcast use, the microphone features an integrated elastic suspension system that minimizes handling noise and structural vibrations. It also includes a built-in pop filter that reduces plosive sounds and protects the capsule from moisture and debris. The head grille is removable for easy cleaning, supporting long-term hygiene in shared studio environments.

Designed for durability and professional workflow integration, the BCM 104 MT connects via a standard XLR 3-pin output and requires 48V phantom power. Its compact side-address design and matte black finish make it visually unobtrusive and well-suited for on-camera setups and modern streaming environments.
