Ideal for podcasting and streaming
Broadcast microphones are renowned for their rich, flattering sound, which is why you see them on almost every stream and podcast. The BCD-1 carries on in this tradition with its good looks and clean pickup. It showcases excellent side and rear rejection, which is ideal for streamers. You'll be able to talk to your viewers and play on a computer with minimal keyboard noise coming through. Have a noisy sibling or roommate that could disrupt your podcast? No problem, the cardioid polar pattern ensures that your voice comes through loud and clear.
