The pop screen, or the internal foam screen, prevents any accumulation of dirt, moisture and protects the capsule from air blasts or plosives.

FAQs:

Which all accessories can be used with the microphone?

Various accessories can be used with the Neumann BCM 705 microphone such as an external pop screen, a microphone cable, a windscreen and a swivel joint.

How can the microphone be set up?

The microphone is extremely easy to set up and is compatible with industry-standard microphone boom arms. It is recommended to suspend the microphone from a studio arm and an optional thread adapter can be used to fit the microphone to different connectors. An optional SG 5 swivel joint can also be used to angle the microphone by 90 degrees.

What is the hypercardioid pattern used for?

The hypercardioid polar pattern of the microphone offers a narrower pickup angle at the front than cardioid microphones. It rejects more noise from the sides and back for better isolation of the voice. It tailors the microphone for recording at a close range and even provides outstanding sound-proofing ability in a lively studio atmosphere. An additional reflection filter can be used as a shield for isolation around the mic, like a mini vocal booth.

Is the microphone easy to clean?

The integrated foam screen and the twist-off head grille are easy to remove to aid in proper cleaning of the microphone. The pop screen prevents unwanted particles from settling on the diaphragm.
