description Neumann BCM 705 Overview
The Neumann BCM 705 is a dynamic broadcast microphone developed for close range speech in radio studios and similar production environments. It uses a cardioid pickup pattern to emphasize the speaker while reducing sound arriving from behind the microphone. Its housing and acoustic design are intended for boom arm mounting and sustained announcer use, making it suitable for broadcasters, voice presenters, podcast studios, and other speech focused installations.
help Neumann BCM 705 FAQ
What type of microphone is the Neumann BCM 705?
The BCM 705 is a dynamic broadcast microphone designed for close-range speech in radio, podcast, and studio production. Neumann describes it as its first dynamic microphone and specifies a hypercardioid capsule. [Neumann](https://www.neumann.com/en-gb/products/microphones/bcm-705?variant=399008)
Why is the BCM 705 suited to radio presenters?
Its close-talk design gives a presenter a strong, direct voice while the directional pickup helps reduce sound from the sides and rear. That makes it useful in a broadcast booth where a microphone must reject some room noise and nearby studio activity.
Does the BCM 705 need phantom power?
Because the BCM 705 is a dynamic microphone, it does not require phantom power to generate its basic audio signal. It still needs a suitable microphone preamp, interface, or broadcast console with enough clean gain.
Can the BCM 705 be used for podcasting rather than radio?
Yes, Neumann explicitly positions it for broadcast and podcast speech as well as recording-studio use. Its broadcast-style housing is intended for mounting on a standard microphone arm, which suits a fixed desk or studio setup.
