Brought about by Warm Audio's team of expert engineers specifically for podcasters, live streamers, and broadcasters, the 512 AUDIO Limelight dynamic vocal XLR microphone offers build quality, tone, and features that extend beyond its price class. Like all of Warm Audio's pro audio gear, the Limelight mic is designed to produce a great sound without gratuitous tweaking after the recording.

It utilizes a large-diaphragm dynamic capsule and special circuity, tuned for optimal clarity and richness of speech. Even more directional than cardioid mics, the Limelight opts for a hypercardioid polar pattern to capture your voice with less background noise. If traffic-induced rumble or excessive bass from proximity effect need to be lessened, simply switch on the internal high-pass filter. As a passive dynamic mic, it needs no phantom power; just connect its XLR 3-pin output to a mic preamp with an XLR mic cable (available separately) and crank up the gain.

This microphone is part of the Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.

Limelight is precision-tuned to focus on the frequencies that capture the richness of voice and speech, so your audience can enjoy your talk-focused content with the clarity you'd expect from a world-class broadcast facility.

Designed by an expert team of engineers and built on the vintage-inspired legacy of Warm Audio, Limelight combines a large-diaphragm dynamic capsule with special circuitry to produce smooth, clear broadcast audio with a 50 Hz to 15 kHz frequency response that's sculpted for close-range vocal duty.

With a hyper-focused pickup pattern that's nearly 20% narrower than a standard cardioid microphone, Limelight captures your voice while rejecting unwanted room noise around you.

A built-in pop shield blocks intrusive plosives from consonants like p, b, and f, for an uncompromised sound and less audio cleanup in post.

The switchable 100 Hz low-frequency filter prevents unwanted noise and low-end rumble, for more control over your sound.

Included with Limelight is a 360? swivel mount, which helps you achieve perfect placement on a mic stand or boom arm.

Lightweight Steel Construction

The BA-XE4's steel construction makes it a sturdy, reliable, and durable studio accessory.

Support Mics up to 3.5 lb

This sturdy broadcast arm can support mics up to 3.5 pounds, which is plenty of strength to hold a Rode Podcaster, or the Senal SCM-660 and a shockmount.

Integrated XLR Cable

A 10' XLR mic cable is integrated into the arm to minimize cable clutter, so you don't have to go through the hassle of threading and weaving a cable through the arm. This makes mic setup and attachment fast and easy.

Smooth, Noise-Free Operation

The arm is designed to move noiselessly and minimize handling noise when you're readjusting the mic or swiveling it over to another person. Repositioning the microphone will not interrupt or compromise your audio.

5/8-27 Threaded Microphone Mount

The industry-standard 5/8-27 threaded microphone mount is compatible with most shockmounts and microphone clips.

Wide Range of Motion

An extension of up to 38" and the ability to rotate the arm 360? allow for precise microphone placement. And once you've put your mic in an optimal position, you can be sure it stays there, because the ergonomic locking knobs give you plenty of torque to tighten and fix the mic's position.

Mounting Options

The BA-XE4 broadcast arm comes with options of convenient temporary mounting or more permanent installation. The included C-clamp is for temporary and movable fastening to a desktop or workstation. The flange mount screws into a flat surface for permanent installation on a broadcast station or podium.

Compatible Products

The BA-XE4 will work with nearly any broadcast-style microphone weighing up to 3.5 lb. It is especially compatible with microphones such as the Senal SC-550X Professional Cardioid Condenser Microphone, the UB-440 Professional USB Microphone, and the SCM-660 Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone. You can also use the PCR-65 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, RM-650 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, RM-800 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, and more.

Closed-Back, Circumaural Design

• The closed-back over-the-ear design and padded ear cushions are ideal for recording and field applications because they provide superb isolation from external noise. The SMH-1000-MK2's design helps to reduce bleed, preserve bass response, and minimize unwanted sounds of a noisy studio, set, or ambient noise.

40mm Neodymium Drivers

• The large 40mm neodymium drivers deliver a wide frequency response with minimal distortion for natural sound reproduction.

Ideal for Dialog

• The SMH-1000-MK2 headphones have a tailored frequency curve that makes them ideal for monitoring vocals, dialog, news, and podcasts. A small peak in the high frequencies ensures dialog cuts through clearly and naturally without coloration or unnatural highs or lows.

Swiveling Ear Cups

• The earcups swivel ?90?, great for quick over-the-shoulder monitoring, while you?re checking audio levels or cueing up the next track.

Interchangeable Locking Cables

• Senal?s unique locking jack makes it easy to swap and replace cables, and it provides a secure connection that doesn't detach from an accidental tug or pull.
• The included coiled cable stretc
