The amount of care that goes into constructing a Blue microphone is legendary. As their flagship microphone, the Bottle encapsulates all Blue 's attention to detail and careful construction. It looks beautiful, and boasts a sound that's so warm, natural, and "alive," it'll leave no doubt that you're hearing one of the world's elite mics.

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.

Power supply helps preserve tube life
The Blue Bottle microphone is packaged with one B6 Lollipop capsule and the 9610 Tube Microphone Power supply. Blue has developed the 9610 with the new SOFT START feature to assure the longevity of the vacuum tube, and the stability of the microphone circuitry. No other commercially available tube microphone power supply offers this unique feature. Champagne tube microphone cable is standard inclusion and all the above is all housed in a Blue velvet lined ATA approved flight case.

Eight available capsules
The Bottle Mic can employ seven additional hand-built capsules crafted by Blue at their factory.

Blue Bottle Available Pattern selections:
  • B7: Cardioid large diaphragm single backplate. The Classic Vocal Sound.
  • B6: Cardioid large diaphragm dual backplate. The Blue Standard, included with the Bottle - The Modern Presence Vocal Sound
  • B5: Pressure omni large diaphragm. The Presence Omni
  • B4: Perspex sphere pressure omni small diaphragm. The Big Omni
  • B3: Cardioid mid sized diaphragm. The Neutral Capsule
  • B2: Figure of eight large diaphragm. The Vintage Capsule
  • B1: Cardioid small diaphragm. The Accuracy Plus Capsule
  • B0: Cardioid (large capsule/Bright)

Discover why the sound of the Blue Bottle has engineers and audio pros everywhere raving!

I just got this Microphone a week ago and I ran some guitar amp micing tests and did some vocals tests with it...I am amazed by the quality of this Microphone. I have compared these tests to ones Ive... read more [+] done with my U87 and C414 's and although those mics sound very good, there is a significant audible difference with the bottle. And I have only tried the B6 capsule!!! I am lucky enough to have 7 more to experiment with!!! I am extremely impressed, this microphone has exceeded all of my expectations!!! What an awesome Microphone!!! I can not wait to try the Bottle on other instruments,vocalists, and choirs and hear the results!!! If you are able to afford this , buy it!! You will not regret your purchase!! close [-]

My first mic was a Bluebird. I have been using it ever since. I ordered some cables and Paul asked if there was anything I had been looking at. I told him that the Bottle has been on my wish list f... read more [+]orever. He made me an offer I could;t refuse. I also got the Robbie pre. I like the simplicity of it. I tested a few of the capsules and settled on the B6 for my vocals. My producer in Nashville told me not to unplug that mic. Sounded great. Well, it should. I recorded a friend of mine on his acoustic guitar. The B5 was the choice there. The descriptions of the capsules that comes with it are very accurate. I have some upcoming projects that I'm looking forward to. The hot swappable capability is definitely a plus. So far this has surpassed any expectations I had. Love Blue mics!! close [-]

BEST Mic I've used for ANY price!

I have owned The Blue Bottle microphone since 2004, recorded over 20 albums on it, and have monopolized my local region for sound quality, competing with and taking customers from million-dollar studi... read more [+]os here in town. The word to describe it is TRANSPARENT... No weird pads or eq curves... What you record, is exactly what you will here in play-back. The only EQ you will need with this mic is maybe a low cut to eliminate any pops if you are recording close, and maybe some accent EQ to make the given signal set into the particular mix you are working on. I've used U87's, M49's, and many other very expensive mics in my career, and this mic takes the cake 100%. I wouldn't trade it for the world! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Ryan Sloan
Blue's The Bottle is the secret weapon of countless studios. In fact, when A-List talent comes into our studio to record, more often than not they tend to gravitate towards the Bottle. It's more expensive than your typical microphone, but its modular nature makes it more versatile. It's the Swiss Army Knife of high-end studio microphones. It's essentially 8 of the best microphones you've ever heard in one package.
