So good the content and the editing, thanks a lot!

About wind : this microphone is really sensitive to it, not only the capsule, but the body itself. The Rycote BBG with the fur windshield is effective, but very quickly some recordings are disturbed by the noise of the wind hitting the exposed metallic body of the mic. So now for serious recording sessions I use it inside a full blimp, the difference is huge : no more wind noise.

I used my new 4025 today to record renaissance music in an almost 1000 year old church today. The recording is excellent and very crisp. I had to drop the lows and lift the high end but that were more due to the balance of the band. Wonderful mic.

Man, I wish more audio-related channels would be as exhaustive as yours, both in presentation and content...

[FreddiMuliantono]

Very high-quality level of production. Well done and subscribed!

Excellent video. Love the format. Really well produced.

I NEED THAT LIME LACROIX MIC THO

I bought this mic for a field recording project, it is indeed really nice. A quick note on limitations - it is very warm sounding, which produces very pleasant and listenable results but if you’re looking a lot of extended high frequency detail or the capacity to pitch things down to repurpose frequencies above 15k for sound design etc this prob isn’t the mic for you. It sounds great but it’s not super accurate or transparent sounding in a way that will make it as versatile as some other condensers. For convenience for getting reliably grear sounding field recordings it is a very solid choice and very reasonably priced

Thanks! Really well structured informative video! I need to start saving up for a BP 4025!

[TheRamyPerspective]

nice to have found this video, i also have this mic and really enjoy using it - im looking to get into MS in the near future with the Rycote mics.

Great review Ollie! I have this mic and love it! It is great for field recording and has a beautiful ambience. Using the 10 db cutoff is useful with higher sounds, as it is very sensitive. A fantastic mic and a bargain for the price!
Cheers Gregg.

Great review 👌🏻
If you like the BP4025… give the Sanken CMS-50 Mid-Side mic a try…

[sergeiivanis]

Привет! Большое спасибо за это видео! Вы очень помогли!)

[Taurai]

Excellent review. I'm currently trying to decide between this and the Rode Stereo videomic X.

[TheCompleteGuitarist]

Considering the cost (where I live) it should also come with a pair of armed guards. I think this (or similar) is the mic at the top of my wish list but as a an *amateur* composer song writer teacher and field recordist, I guess I will have to dream on. Nice review, thanks for sharing.

[chachander]

Thanks for the review Ollie! Would you have any tips on rain protection for the BP 4025?

[Getthenderson]

Was the Lewitt 640 ts on your radar? I am trying to choose, I imagine this has better accessories for wind protection but the Lewitt seems more flexible? I don't really know.

[vihro]

I'd love to try it as a drum set overhead. But probably there's a reason for not be used in such application.

[alanhung]

Hello sir, thank you for the video. I have a question:

Can I use this for recording violin in a home setting/ or an outdoor environment?

Thanks

[aseomg]

Ok, where does Ollie live? Those locations are amazing, lol
