Delivering an all-metal, tank-like build quality and extreme flexibility for a range of live and studio applications, the BL8 Boundary Microphone from sE Electronics sports a half-cardioid, 3-micron true condenser diaphragm for exceptional sensitivity in the low-frequency range, making it ideal for kick drum miking. With onboard controls for two different low-cut frequencies (80 or 160 Hz), two different attenuation levels (-10 or -20 dB), and two different EQ voicings (Classic or Modern), the BL8 is versatile indeed, deftly handling ambient room miking, pianos, and more with exceptional clarity.
