Professional Cardioid Polar Pattern

The BOYA BY-M4C is equipped with a cardioid polar pattern, a key feature for capturing directional sound while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This pattern is ideal for environments where unwanted background noise is present, such as busy streets, crowded rooms, or during outdoor shoots. By focusing on sound coming directly from the front of the microphone, it ensures that the audio recorded is clear and precise, making it a top choice for content creators, filmmakers, and audio professionals. The cardioid design enhances the overall quality of recordings, particularly in situations where background noise reduction is crucial for professional sound output.

High Sensitivity and Low Noise

The BY-M4C microphone boasts a sensitivity of -38dB ±3dB, providing a high level of accuracy when capturing sounds. This sensitivity ensures that the microphone can pick up both loud and soft sounds without distortion. Additionally, the microphone features a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 78dB, meaning that it can effectively capture clean audio even in relatively noisy environments. With a low noise floor, the BY-M4C minimizes the chance of unwanted sounds creeping into the recording, allowing users to record professional-quality audio without external disturbances or interference.

Wide Frequency Response Range

This microphone has an impressive frequency range of 35Hz to 18kHz, ±3dB, allowing it to capture a broad spectrum of sounds from low-end rumblings to higher-pitched frequencies. Such a wide frequency response ensures that both deep tones and high-frequency sounds are accurately captured, making it a versatile tool for a variety of recording situations, including interviews, presentations, podcasts, and video shoots. The ability to cover a large frequency spectrum allows the BY-M4C to deliver a natural and balanced sound, ensuring that every nuance of the audio is heard clearly.
