COLES MICROPHONES – Lip – Commentary These iconic designs are engineered for use in noisy environments for applications such as sports commentary.4104This is a broadcast quality noise-cancelling ‘lip’ microphone, specifically for commentary work in environments where the level of background noise requires that the microphone be used very close to the mouth. It is a gradient ribbon unit with a high degree of acoustic damping, fitted into a special case equipped with nose and mouth breath shields. The talking distance has to be controlled accurately in order to maintain the correct frequency response (avoidance of variation of proximity effect) and this is done by positioning bars which contact the user’s upper lip. Noise reduction is achieved partially through the polar response and partially through the substantial LF roll-off characteristics of the free-field response of the ribbon unit (which is optimised for a flat near-field response). The speech quality is good, mainly due to the correct balance being obtained between the nose and the mouth tones – any deficiency of the former gives a ‘stuffy’ and unnatural speech quality.The breath shields are corrosion free stainless steel mesh, and the microphones incorporate a high degree of shielding against sources of electromagnetic induction, such as television monitors.The frequency response is 60-12000Hz, and impedance 300ohms. Distortion is less than 1% at an SPL of 120dB. A 3-pin, male, XLR connector is incorporated in the base of the handle. Dimensions: 200(l) x 57(max.w) x 76(max.d). Weight 283g.
The 4104 Commentator’s Noise Cancelling Ribbon Microphone is of British Broadcasting (BBC) design and used for reproducing high quality commentary speech from noisy surroundings by cancelling out a considerable degree of background noise.The 4104 has a proven reliable performance capability, being since its introduction used by such broadcasting networks as the BBC, IBA, CBS and ABC.The 4104 is not unduly affected by wind noise and can be used in air stream velocities up to 20 mph (32 km) without notable difference in speech quality. With the use of a simple windshield attachment good quality speech reproduction can also be achieved in winds ranging up to 40 mph (64 km) or more.Importantly the polar response is effectively bi-directional allowing one or more commentators to make clear individual commentary close side by side without interference from mutual cross over talk.Download Technical Specification document here (pdf)This microphone is generally regarded as the leader in its field. Wherever it is essential to single out a speaker’s voice without transmitting background noise, this is the choice of buyers from all over the world.One example application is its use in sports reporting, selecting the spoken commentary and cutting out the roar of racing cars at Brands Hatch or the screams of the little old ladies in the ringside seats at wrestling contests. News reporters broadcasting eyewitness accounts of processions and street demonstrations have also depended on this type of microphone.Equally important is its application in noisy industrial environments; prompt information and explicit instruction may be matters of life and death in a shunting yard or rolling mill, and a noise-cancelling microphone of this quality is the most vital element in such communications.
