High-Quality Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Boya BY-GM18CB is a premium 18″ cardioid condenser gooseneck microphone, offering exceptional sound quality for professional use. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures that sound is captured predominantly from the front, while minimizing background noise from the sides and rear. This is especially important in environments like conferences, meetings, and lectures, where clarity and focus are crucial. The condenser capsule inside the microphone provides clear, detailed, and natural sound, making it ideal for applications that require precise audio reproduction.

Flexible Dual-Section Gooseneck

One of the standout features of the BY-GM18CB is its flexible dual-section gooseneck, which allows users to easily adjust the microphone’s position. This feature provides exceptional convenience, enabling the microphone to be positioned exactly where it’s needed for optimal sound capture. Whether for a speaker who moves around or for a static position, the gooseneck can be manipulated to suit various scenarios. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for lectures, video conferences, and meetings, as it ensures the microphone can be adjusted without the need for complex setups or equipment changes.

Built-In LED Indicators

The Boya BY-GM18CB comes with built-in LED indicators that clearly show the microphone’s operational status. This feature is extremely helpful for users, as it provides real-time feedback on whether the microphone is powered on and functioning properly. The LED ring around the microphone capsule is visible even in low-light conditions, making it easy to monitor the microphone’s status at any time. This ensures that users can quickly identify if the microphone is muted or experiencing any issues, preventing interruptions during important events such as conferences or lectures.

Power Options for Flexibility

The microphone is versatile when it comes to power options. It can either be powered by two AAA batteries or by 48V phantom power, which provides flexibility depending on the setup and availability of power sources. The use of AAA batteries offers portability, making it convenient for use in locations without a nearby power source. When using phantom power, users benefit from a more consistent power supply, especially in professional audio setups like sound systems and mixers. The long-lasting battery life, with up to 168 hours of use on a single set of AAA batteries, ensures that the microphone remains reliable over extended periods of time.

The Boya BY-GM18CB is highly compatible with a wide range of audio systems, especially those requiring XLR connectors. The 3-pin XLR connector ensures reliable and high-quality wired connectivity to professional audio equipment such as mixers, soundboards, and audio interfaces. This makes the microphone suitable for use in audio-visual setups for video conferences, lectures, meetings, and more. It also ensures that the microphone works seamlessly with existing professional gear, providing a plug-and-play experience without the need for complicated setups or adapters.

Ideal for Professional Settings
