sE Electronics BL8 Boundary Microphone

Searching for a versatile boundary microphone? Look no further than the sE Electronics BL8. Musicians and studio engineers are well aware that boundary microphones are frequently utilised as alternative room and kick microphones. Beyond its studio capabilities, this boundary microphone excels in video conferencing, recording conversations, and virtually any spoken word application. The BL8 features a high-definition condenser capsule and boasts a cardioid polar pattern to reduce off-axis frequencies and optimise feedback rejection. On the back, you'll find three switches for activating the highpass filter, enabling the pad, and imparting classic or modern character to the signal. Additionally, the BL8 is compatible with Kelly Shu Flatz shockmount systems, allowing you to suspend the microphone inside a kick drum for added low-frequency impact.

When tonal versatility is a top priority, the BL8 becomes your ideal companion. While you can certainly fine-tune your audio during post-production, wouldn't you prefer to shape it right from the source? In contrast to many other popular boundary microphone models that offer a basic 2-way contour switch for sound shaping, the sE Electronics BL8 stands out. It features a 3-position character switch, allowing you to select between classic tones, modern clarity, or unaltered and pristine sound quality. Additionally, you have the option to further refine the microphone's sound with a 3-way low-cut filter and a switchable pad.

The BL8's elegant and compact design offers more than just aesthetic appeal. sE Electronics has purposefully crafted this boundary microphone to be compact, ensuring its compatibility with a wide range of spaces. Whether you need to place it inside a bass drum, position it in the corner of a studio, or set it on a crowded conference room table, the BL8 always finds a place to fit in. Furthermore, its compatibility with Kelly Shu mounts enhances its versatility significantly.
