The sE Electronics BL8 Boundary Microphone is built with a sturdy all-metal construction, resembling a tank, and provides excellent versatility for both live performances and studio recordings. It features a half-cardioid, 3-micron true condenser diaphragm that delivers impressive sensitivity in the low-frequency range, making it perfect for miking kick drums. Additionally, the BL8 has convenient onboard controls for adjusting low-cut frequencies (80 or 160 Hz), attenuation levels (-10 or -20 dB), and AEQ voicings (Classic or Modern). This microphone excels in capturing ambient room sounds, as well as producing clear and precise recordings of pianos and other instruments.
The BL8 incorporates transformerless, class-A circuitry that ensures ample headroom to avoid distortion and generates an ultralow-noise signal that maintains transparency. Its durable and road-ready enclosure features a dent-proof grille and gold-plated XLR contacts, guaranteeing its ability to withstand the demands of frequent touring. Additionally, the microphone's robust design can support the Kelly Shu Flatz Isolation System, which is particularly beneficial for heavy touring applications. For added convenience, the BL8 comes with a carry pouch to ensure safe transport.
