BOUNDARY CONDENSER MICROPHONE The BL8 microphone is an excellent choice for recording loud sounds such as those from kick drums and other high SPL sources. Its construction is resistant and designed to withstand impacts, making it practically bulletproof. In addition, its form factor makes it very robust and perfect for use on tour. The BL8 features a condenser capsule that mounts an ultra-thin three-micron diaphragm with gold sputtering to achieve superior transient response. This capsule is the same one used in the famous SE8 semi-cardioid microphone, ensuring excellent sound quality. The BL8 is designed to reproduce low frequencies with amazing precision, making it perfect to be used in combination with our V KICK. However, It can also be used on its own without the need for an additional external kick drum microphone.
