Engineers we know can't say enough good things about the incredible Blue Bottle mic.Blue Bottle Condenser Microphone at a Glance:
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:

January 10, 2012 Music Background: Producer BEST Mic I've used for ANY price!
by Joe Kerr from Lancaster, PA.
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 [-]

September 15, 2009 Music Background: Producer/Recording Engineer Engineers' Best Kept Secret
by Ben from Johnston, RI
I own this mic with the B7, B6, and B4 caps. The B7 is styled after the U47 (K47), the B6 after the C12 (CK12), and the B7 after the M50 (M7). Do any of them sound exactly like the caps they are mod... read more [+]eled after? Not exactly. In my opinion, they sound BETTER. First of all, the Bottle is quieter than ANY of those mics listed. The sound of each capsule, while based loosly on the venerable vintage caps, are modernized for what we hear on the radio TODAY, not 50 years ago. It sounds like someone very skilled took those old caps and tweaked them into something modern that requires little eq and compression to make it fit. Also, the Depth and Dimention of the sound of this mic is like no other. I have several mics in the $1000-2000 range, and none of them compare in depth and clarity. Since this is an expensive mic, I know few who own it, making it an engineer's best kept secret! I have three mics for less than the cost of three seperate mics of the same quality. close [-]
March 6, 2007 Music Background: Recording Engineer Sweetwater Advice
Ryan SloanBlue'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. Also popular
