The BP4071L is the long-tube version of the BP4071 professional broadcast shotgun condenser, extending the interference tube for tighter directional control at mid and high frequencies. Where the BP4071 provides compact form for EFP and handheld boom work, the BP4071L is optimized for applications requiring the narrowest possible polar pattern — theatrical fly miking, orchestral recording, and broadcast ENG situations where the talent is at greater distances from the microphone position.

Narrow Polar Pattern for Distance Pickup

The extended tube of the BP4071L concentrates pickup sensitivity more tightly on-axis than the short BP4071, providing measurably higher rejection of off-axis sound in the midrange. Boom operators can work at increased distances from the subject while maintaining an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio, which is essential when physical proximity to the talent is restricted by choreography, safety requirements, or camera framing.

Professional Low-Noise Specification

Self-noise and output level specifications are consistent with the BP4071, maintaining the same low noise floor and sensitivity that professional broadcast and film post-production demand. The BP4071L operates on 48V phantom power with XLR output, integrating into any professional location sound infrastructure.
