sE Electronics BL8 Boundary microphone

With its ultra-low-noise electronics, this microphone enables demanding applications such as grand piano or room miking. Designed to reproduce low frequencies with stunning accuracy, it is a perfect partner for the sE Electronics V KICK, but can also be used alone, without an additional outer kick-drum mic. This makes it an incredibly versatile tool for both studio and stage.

This half-cardioid condenser microphone offers exceptional flexibility through a suite of onboard switches. You can choose between two distinct voicings: 'Classic' provides a warmer, vintage-style sound, while 'Modern' delivers a more aggressive, punchy tone perfect for contemporary genres. To further tailor your sound, a three-position low-cut filter (80Hz and 120Hz) effectively removes unwanted low-frequency rumble. For capturing extremely loud sources, the microphone is equipped with a three-position attenuation pad (0dB, -10dB, -20dB) to prevent distortion and ensure a clean signal.

Built for the road, its rugged, all-metal construction and a dent-proof grille ensure reliability night after night. The gold-plated XLR connector guarantees a secure, loss-free signal connection for years to come. This is a tool that not only sounds fantastic but is also built to withstand the rigors of professional use.

Key Features:
  • Hand-crafted true condenser capsule for superior sound quality
  • Switchable voicing between 'Classic' and 'Modern' tones
  • Integrated low-cut filter to eliminate rumble
  • Three-position attenuation pad for high-SPL sources
  • All-metal housing and a dent-proof grille
  • Gold-plated XLR connector for a reliable connection
Frequency Range

Frequency Range: 20 Hz - 20 kHz

The frequency response 20 Hz - 20 kHz provides a wide enough range to capture all the fine musical and sonic details.

Polar Pattern

Polar Pattern: Half Cardioid

A half cardioid polar pattern is designed to capture sound primarily from the front, similar to a standard cardioid, but with reduced sensitivity to the rear and enhanced response to reflections from flat surfaces, such as walls or floors. It is often used in boundary microphones placed on tables or stages for natural sound pickup.

Capsule Type

Capsule Type: Condenser

A condenser microphone is a type of microphone that uses a capacitor to pick up sound. Unlike dynamic microphones, condenser microphones require an external power supply to operate properly. This type of microphone is more sensitive to detail because its diaphragm is sensitive to very fine sound waves, making it ideal for studio recording.
