Low Cut
This switch allows you to the curb low-frequency response at two different frequencies or leave it flat.
For applications like room miking or speech, the low-cut switch reduces unwanted footfall noise and
rumble. It can also be used to minimize proximity effect.
Att Pad
The attenuation pad reduces the microphone's signal by 10 or 20 dBs when activated, preventing loud
sources from overloading your mixer, preamp or audio interface. In its center position, the pad is
disactivated, and the microphone's output is unaffected.
We recommend initially activating the 10dB attenuation when miking a kick drum. For very loud
sources you may need to activate the 20dB attenuation. Moderately loud sources should be fine at
the 0dB setting.
Character
The ideal studio kick drum tone is often different than our preferences in a live sound environment.
Similar to our award-winning kick-drum mic, the V KICK, the BL8 omni offers "Classic" and "Modern"
character voicings. These options both cut and shape the low-mids to emphasize transients and
punch. In its center position, the capsule's neutral response is retained, which is ideal for a plethora
of other applications.
Changing the capsule
To switch the BL8 omni's capsule, first make sure it's not connected to an XLR cable. Then, turn the screw
at the center of the microphone's grille counter-clockwise until it's loose. Once the screw has been removed,
the grille can also be removed.
Turn the capsule-retainer screw counter-clockwise, until it can be removed.
