Bang & Olufsen – B&O – Beomic BM6 Microphone

Beomic BM6 Microphone

The BM6 was a pressure-gradient ribbon microphone known for its full-frequency range, perfect figure-eight directional characteristic, and a 3-position switch for speech (S), music (M), and off. It featured an international standard DIN plug and a 150-ohm impedance, widely accepted for dynamic microphones in recording studios.

By adding the BM7 microphone, the Beomic BM6 could be converted into the BM5 mono/stereo microphone, enabling stereo recordings using either the MS (Mid-Side) or AB (Spaced Pair) methods.
