Blue Baby Bottle





Hey guys,
First off, if you have 300 spare dollars lying around for a mic and your a project studio looking for a good mic then pick this puppy up. I purchased this mic to handle my own recordings and i have not found anything minus putting it on drums that it wont work for. Now This is a condenser mic and it has a small frequency boost at 200 Hz and also at 5 khz. For a single focus on this mic i feel it really shines on Vox and Guitars. From acoustic guitars to amp cabs it will sound great!
Now on to some problems. First off i really hate how blue pitches this to mic drums, and other large instruments when the mic has such an awkward shape and how it mounts. Out of the box, without a diffrent mount i feel it would be a pain to mic anything but a guitar cab or vocals. Next, i really dont know if its just my mic but the XLR jack will not clip to all XLR cables only 2 out of the 5-6 i have will actually work. But other than that this is an amazing microphone and it really kicks ass!

Following are also links to the Tech Specs and a Small Demo Video.

I really feel within the 1000$ mic range the baby bottle comes in first!
See you guys next week!
