Compact and Lightweight Design: The BP4073 measures just 233 mm in length and weighs only 99 grams. This lightweight construction makes it ideal for mounting on cameras or boom poles, allowing users to keep the microphone out of the shot while capturing high-quality audio. Its compact size is especially beneficial for handheld filming and field recording.

Highly Directional Performance: Equipped with a line + gradient polar pattern, the BP4073 excels in capturing audio from the front while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This highly directional capability ensures that users can record clear sound even in noisy environments, making it suitable for various applications, including broadcasting and theater sound reinforcement.

Innovative Acoustic Design: The BP4073 features an innovative acoustic design that provides the same directivity as microphones up to 50% longer. This ensures exceptional audio capture without the bulk of a longer microphone, allowing for a more versatile recording experience.

Low Self-Noise and High Sensitivity: Thanks to its Double Wave Diaphragm technology, the BP4073 delivers low self-noise and high sensitivity, capturing nuanced sounds with precision. This feature is crucial for professional recordings where clarity and detail matter.

Customizable Audio Settings: This microphone includes a switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter, which helps reduce low-frequency noise from wind and other environmental sounds. Additionally, the 10 dB pad allows users to manage high sound pressure levels, ensuring clean and distortion-free recordings.

Rugged Construction: The BP4073 is built with a durable housing made from lightweight structural-grade aluminum alloy. This rugged construction withstands the rigors of field use, providing reliable performance in various environments.

Included Accessories: The BP4073 comes equipped with essential accessories, including a foam windscreen, a stand clamp for secure mounting, two O-rings for added stability, and a protective carry case. These accessories enhance the microphone’s usability and ensure it is ready for immediate use in the field.
