Production Status: Discontinued / Vintage
The C 400 BL is a small, inconspicuous boundary layer microphone intended for table-top use. The response is intentionally rolled off below 200 Hz and slightly peaked at 6kHz for speech applications. The response is a hemispherical hypercardioid and the narrow pickup angle makes the microphone particularly insensitive to ambient noise. Powering is via a phantom adaptor. The BL/1 version has a B/Lock jack connection on the 1.5m cable. The cover is paintable.
