BOYA BY-M800 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Description:
The BOYA BY-M800 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone with a smooth, flat, wide-range frequency response, made for vocal and general instrument recording in home, project and professional studios. The cardioid pattern focuses on sound in front of the capsule and rejects off-axis sound from the sides and back.
It has a -10dB pad switch for extra headroom with loud sources and a low-cut (high-pass) filter switch at 150 Hz to remove low-frequency hum and rumble. The all-metal housing connects through a standard XLR connector and needs 24V or 48V phantom power from an audio interface, mixer or preamp.
