he BCM 705 Dynamic Broadcast Microphone from Neumann is a professional, dynamic broadcast microphone. The BCM 705's housing and head grille are identical to those of the BCM 104. The dynamic capsule features a hypercardioid directional characteristic, specifically designed for speech reproduction at close range. Multi-level isolation from structure-borne noise and an elastic mount ensure operation free of interference, even in a lively studio environment. The microphone head grille twists off easily for quick cleaning.
If you've ever wondered what a Neumann microphone could do for your electric guitar, bass, or kick drum sound in your recordings, but were concerned about putting a mucho expensive condenser mic in front of an amp or kick, wonder no more. For the first time in their 75-year history at the top of the recording world, Neumann has created the BCM 705, the first ever Neumann dynamic microphone. The dynamic BCM 705 costs considerably less than the BCM 104 condenser version, and will thus address the problem of the enormous cost pressure of equipping a studio with multiple mics. Designed also to be a great broadcast mic, the Neumann BCM 705 will also handle vocal chores around the studio as well.

The BCM 705 utilizes a Neumann-redesigned version of the Profi Power Sennheiser MD 431 handheld stage microphone and capsule. Housed in the same body as the previously introduced BCM 104, the BCM 705 is immediately identifiable as a Neumann dynamic microphone by its new 'green' Neumann badge.

For the BCM 705 a major overhaul of the production steps of the original MD 431's capsule was required. This was necessary to reduce tolerances in both frequency response and sensitivity to meet the application specifications for this new microphone.
