Authentic Broadcast Sound for Every Voice
The t.bone BC 500 captures your voice with the depth and punch of classic radio. This dynamic broadcast microphone is designed for podcasts, streams, and online meetings, offering a smooth 50Hz–16kHz frequency range and a cardioid pattern that reduces room noise and feedback. Its onboard low-cut filter removes rumble below 200Hz, while an optional high-mid boost makes speech more defined and present in any mix.
Clear and Controlled Vocal Presence
Optimized for horizontal positioning, the BC 500’s internal foam windscreen keeps plosives and breath noise in check. Two DIP switches on the underside give you precise tone control — one enhances key vocal frequencies at 2, 6, 9, and 10kHz, while the other cuts low-end rumble. With a high SPL handling of 135dB, this mic easily accommodates expressive voices, from soft speech to energetic delivery. Connect via standard XLR to any audio interface or mixer for instant studio-grade sound.
Versatile and Built for Everyday Use
Finished in matte black, the BC 500 looks discreet on camera — perfect for creators who value clean visuals. It mounts easily to any 5/8″ or 3/8″ thread stand or boom arm using the included adapter, freeing up desk space during sessions. Beyond voice, the BC 500 also performs beautifully on instruments like trumpet or guitar amps, where its focused midrange and smooth highs translate into natural, punchy tone. No phantom power required — just pair it with a quality mic preamp, and you’re ready to record.
