Cardioid Polar Pattern
The Boya BY-BM6040 features a cardioid polar pattern, which is highly effective at capturing sound directly in front of the microphone while minimizing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This directional pickup pattern is ideal for isolating vocals or specific sound sources in busy or noisy environments, making it perfect for interviews, on-location shoots, and live events. By focusing on the target audio and rejecting ambient sounds, it ensures recordings are clean, clear, and free from distracting background noise.
Professional Sound Quality
Engineered for superior audio performance, the BY-BM6040 delivers a wide frequency response of 90Hz to 20kHz. This ensures rich, natural-sounding audio with deep lows, detailed mids, and crisp highs. Whether capturing dialogue, environmental sounds, or subtle vocal tones, the microphone reproduces them with professional clarity. Its sensitivity rating of 30±3dB allows it to pick up soft sounds accurately without introducing distortion, even in challenging acoustic settings.
Rugged and Lightweight Build
Built from high-quality alloy-aluminum, the microphone combines durability with portability. This rugged construction not only makes it resistant to physical damage but also offers moisture-proof and anti-interference properties, which are crucial for outdoor and mobile use. Despite its solid build, the BY-BM6040 weighs only 100g, making it extremely lightweight and easy to handle during long shoots. This makes it an excellent tool for handheld use, camera mounting, or boom pole applications.
Phantom Power and Connectivity

It uses a standard 3-pin XLR connector for secure, high-quality signal transmission without the risk of signal degradation. This makes it compatible with most professional audio equipment, ensuring flexibility and reliability in diverse recording setups.
Versatile Mounting and Accessories
To enhance its versatility, the microphone includes a foam windscreen and a fur windshield, both of which help reduce wind and handling noise during outdoor and handheld recordings. It also comes with a 60cm XLR cable, allowing for quick and easy connection to recording devices. The built-in shock mount helps eliminate vibration and mechanical noise from camera movement or hand handling, ensuring that the recorded sound remains pure and unaffected by physical interference.
