Microphone instrument for Double bass
Developed under the direction of Ludovic Lanen with the help of bassist and double bassist Fifi Chayeb, the BL21 is specially designed for recording and sound reinforcement of double basses.
Fitted with a remarkably fine electret cell, it captures all the dynamics and nuances of your playing.
"When it came to sound reinforcement for my double bass, I decided to go for the new Prodipe BL21 Double Bass instrument pickup, which I was more than happy to contribute to. Prodipe lives up to its reputation and its commitments: perfect sound reproduction, where I find the harmonic warmth of my instrument, as well as a simple and clever attachment system."
In a microphone, the part that cannot suffer from any mediocrity is the cell. Prodipe has developed, in France, an electret cell of remarkable finesse, which will capture all the dynamics and nuances of your playing.
Its great linearity will perfectly respect the timbre and sonority of your double bass.
Can also be used in a UHF version: connect to Prodipe UHF DSP B210 Solo or UHF DSP B210 Duo systems (specially adapted to the impedance of the 21 Lanen cell).
"Clearly, the BL21 Lanen has superseded everything I was using before. Very high quality reproduction of the sound of my double bass at a very affordable price!"
"Until now, I hadn't found a close-mic that gave me total satisfaction and, in particular, the feeling of having a sound recording with 'air', something I felt was essential. I could only find this quality in the studio, with top-of-the-range microphones placed a few dozen centimetres from my instrument. With the Prodipe BL21 Lanen mic, the feeling of 'space' is clearly there. The sound of my instrument is perfectly reproduced, full, timbred and precise, without the cold, surgical quality of other mics of this type. Many thanks to the entire technical team at Prodipe for having succeeded in bringing together all these major qualities for an instrumentalist."
The flexible clamp, which is clever and easy to fit between the tailpiece and bridge, allows you to position the BL21 pickup very close to the soundboard for a warm, woody sound that's perfect for bowing, but also above the strings for a precise sound that's perfect for pizzicato playing.
Ideal insulation, without damaging or scratching your instrument.

"The main thing I look for when choosing a microphone is of course its sound. Then there's the mounting, which has to be totally reliable. At Ludovic Lanen's request, I also took part in the development of this BL21 double bass pickup, and I wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the acoustic result and the way it's attached to the double bass, making it the new benchmark for double bass pickups."
"In developing the cell, we drew inspiration from the best in the field, and worked in constant comparison with DPA microphones. This microphone is offered at an affordable price... Once again, don't be fooled by the price: we're pursuing our objective of making professional quality accessible to everyone. With this new range, Prodipe continues to make its mark on professional audio."

Position the BL21 correctly on your double bass! "For perfect sound! This is how I place my microphone: without picking up all the harmful frequencies from my double bass..."
