“Low-cut filter”

The low-cut position reduces sensitivity to ambient low frequency noise such as traffic noise, ventilation, reverberation of the room or mechanical vibrations transmitted through the recording device.

“Short ant lightweight shotgun mic”

Especially suitable for mounting on a fishpole boom or outdoors on professional camera, the BP4073 weighs only 99 grams and has a length of just 23.3 cm.

“High intelligibility”

Its very narrow directivity provides the narrow acceptance angle needed to capture far away sound whilst maintaining excellent off-axis noise rejection. The BP4073 guarantees very specific audio capture with high intelligibility.

Robust body

Robust microphone design made of lightweight aluminum alloy, which allows it to be positioned it on a boom, a camera or on a tripod.

Low-cut filter

Switchable low-cut filter for better insulation of unwanted noise.

Line + gradient

The BP4073 combines a directional capsule (gradient) and an interference tube to remove the sound from the rear.
