Blue Bottle Condenser Microphone at a Glance: Extremely versatile tube condenser mic Power supply helps preserve tube life Eight available capsules Extremely versatile tube condenser mic The Blue Bottle not only sounds like a dream, but it's extremely versatile. The Bottle features eight different interchangeable capsules, so you can change capsules to deliver different tonality, patterns and uses while the microphone is still turned on, thus eliminating the need for many types of mics. The amplifier design is based on a single vacuum tube pentode EF86 in a triode mode. Blue hand selects the tube for low noise performance.
