SCHOEPS BLM 03 C
Boundary-layer recording offers unobtrusive microphone placement possibilities, no stands or hanging fixtures are required.
When pressure transducers are used, the result is a hemispherical directional characteristic that is independent of frequency. Thus it is not necessary to aim the microphones, and if the angle of sound pickup changes, the sound quality remains essentially the same.
The small dimensions of the BLM 03 C in combination with the matte gray Nextel surface enable a particularly discreet placement. Even completely invisible placement is possible if the microphone is hidden under a tablecloth made of lightweight fabric. Due to its small size, however, it should be noted that the BLM 03 C should definitely rest on a sufficiently large, sound-reflecting surface. When recording a panel discussion, a table may be sufficient. For most music recordings a larger area is recommended. The BLM 03 C can also be mounted in a grand piano with the lid open or closed.
The BLM 03 C is connected through its fixed cable to a Colette CMC microphone amplifier, thus resulting in a complete microphone. Since the BLM 03 C includes active electronics, it is not compatible with other active accessories such as RC, KC.
