Perfect for Conference Rooms

The sE Electronics BL8 Omni eliminates the problem of remote attendees struggling to hear conversations in meetings. Featuring an omnidirectional pickup pattern, this boundary microphone captures sound from all directions, making it ideal for teleconferencing, courtrooms, and any space where coverage of a wide area is required. The BL8 Omni also excels in studio applications, whether used inside a kick drum or as an alternative room mic. Three rear-panel switches provide control over the highpass filter, pad, and character selection, while compatibility with Kelly Shu Flatz shockmount systems allows for easy suspension and enhanced low-end capture.

Customise Your Tone

Designed for engineers and musicians who value tonal flexibility, the BL8 Omni offers a 3-position character switch for classic, modern, or pure, uncoloured sound. A 3-way low-cut filter and switchable pad further expand control, enabling precise shaping of audio at the source rather than relying solely on post-production adjustments.

Sleek Low-Profile Design

The BL8 Omni’s compact form factor ensures it fits seamlessly into virtually any environment. Whether placed inside a bass drum, tucked into a studio corner, or set on a crowded conference table, its small footprint makes integration effortless. Compatibility with Kelly Shu mounting systems further increases versatility, allowing the microphone to adapt to a wide range of professional recording and live scenarios.
