Based on models originally developed for use in the broadcast of the Sydney Olympics in 2000, the BP4027 (14.96″ long) is a stereo shotgun microphone engineered for high-end broadcast and production use. It features independent line-cardioid and figure-of-eight elements configured in an MS (Mid-Side) arrangement with switch-selectable internal matrixing, allowing sound recordists the choice of selecting a left-right stereo output (wide or narrow) via the microphone’s internal matrixing system or choosing discreet Mid-Side signals for later manipulation. A switchable low frequency roll-off filter helps minimize the pickup of unwanted low frequency noise, while a rugged lightweight design and sleek black color scheme equip the BP 4027 well for on-camera use.
