Looking for an all-purpose boundary microphone? Turnkey recommends the sE Electronics BL8. Musicians and studio engineers know that boundary microphones are commonly put to work as alternative room mics and kick mics. Despite its prowess in the studio, this boundary mic also works wonders for video conferencing, recording conversations, and just about any spoken word application. The BL8 uses a high-definition condenser capsule and boasts a cardioid polar pattern to attenuate off-axis frequencies and maximize gain before feedback. Three switches can be found on the back to engage the highpass filter, turn on the pad, and imbue the signal with classic or modern character. Finally, the BL8 is compatible with Kelly Shu Flatz shockmount systems, which enable you to suspend the microphone inside a kick drum for extra low-end oomph.
Customize your tone
If tonal versatility is crucial, then the BL8 will be your best friend. Sure, you can shape and sculpt your audio in post-production, but wouldn’t you rather do it at the source? Where other popular boundary microphone designs give you a simple 2-way contour switch to shape the sound, the sE Electronics BL8 differs. It has a 3-position character switch for classic tones, modern clarity, or pure and untouched sound quality. You can further refine the mic’s sound with a 3-way low-cut and switchable pad.
Sleek low-profile design
The BL8’s sleek silhouette does more than provide good looks. By designing the boundary microphone to be small, sE Electronics ensures that it can fit into any space. Whether inside a bass drum, in the corner of a studio, or on a cluttered conference room table, there’s always room for the BL8. Plus, this boundary microphone is compatible with Kelly Shu mounts, increasing its versatility exponentiallY.
