'Aside from its acoustic capabilities, the microphone is aesthetically pleasing for applications in which looks matter, including board meetings, conferences, and court rooms.'
'Obviously, the primary application for the mic is for the capture of the human voice—although I am aware of orchestral recordings being made with boundary-layer microphones mounted above the string sections—and the intelligibility frequencies are perfectly boosted here. I recorded a conversation around a board table with a single BLM4060, and I was absolutely thrilled with the clarity.'
'It became quite apparent to me that using this microphone in a nominally absorptive space would yield tight recordings that clearly express what was said. That’s where this microphone really shines—it rejects the diffuse sound field effectively.'
'The BLM4060 is yet another in a long line of incredible products from DPA. I plan on acquiring at least one to use in podcast production, and my prediction is that it will become my singular mic of choice whenever it’s necessary for me to record a conference around a boardroom table. With just the slightest bit of acoustical treatment, I’ll be able to get studio quality in a business environment. The 7 dB bump at 8 kHz may look a little unorthodox, but at the end of the day, the clarity is astonishing. If you require a mic for similar applications, I strongly recommend the BLM4060.'
