Rycote BD-10 Bidirectional Pencil Condenser Microphone
Designed mainly for M/S stereo, ambient recording, and dual dialogue, the Rycote BD-10 is a bidirectional (figure-8) pencil condenser. Paired with the Rycote SC-08, CA-08, HC-15, or HC-22, it forms a complete M/S or Double M/S stereo setup for documentary and corporate work.
The BD-10 uses Rycote’s low self-noise capsule in a compact 10 cm pencil body, and its figure-8 pattern strongly rejects sound from the sides.
