EARSIGHT THUMB/BBG PAIR- Cardioid (for Rycote BBG)
Product Details

Thumb/BBG — cardioid, built for bigger windshields

Four diameters available (20, 21, 22 and 25 mm) to fit every Rycote Baby Ball Gag model.

Looking for lightweight, rugged microphones with high sensitivity and a very low noise floor? Look no further. The Earsight Thumb borrows a design widely used in field recording — close in size to a Sennheiser MKH8040 — at a fraction of the price. The idea: give your recorder a pair of high-end mics, like a bespoke pocket recorder. The name "Thumb" came naturally, from its shape.

Mount them on a stereo bar with standard clips, or plug them straight into your recorder and travel light.

Pas encore essayés mais j’en ai déjà une paire, très silencieux avec de bons préamps. Service impeccable, enfin à part très bien, rien à dire. Merci Laurent

These mics are just great. It fits perfectly with the BBG. I tested them on the Island of Ouessant (France) this week, to record wind and sea ambiances, they magnificently reproduced the depth of field of the landscape.

I really like the microphones. The sound quality is very good. I often use them for ambiance recording combined with other mics in a classical concert setting. I plug them straight into a Zoom H1 XLR or Zoom F3. This eliminates cables and thus time, and sync the audio in post. The only thing is that they are not very strong. The housing broke. I only used it for 4 concerts. I had emailed the company, but I have not heard from them for a week now. I taped it back together, and the mic still works, but it should not fall apart. I hope I can have it fixed properly at some point.
