Intimate Sound & Larger-Than-Life Detail!
Audio professionals in every style of music rave about the Cactus, and the second you hear this sweet mic in action, so will you! The Cactus delivers detailed, inviting, totally professional sound reproduction in the tradition of the world's most-loved vintage microphones. This multi-pattern, large-diaphragm microphone sounds fantastic in a wide range of recording applications. Vocals, in particular, sound awesome - clearer, more up-front and more intimate than many of the mics you've heard before. The amplifier design of the Cactus is based on a single vacuum tube sub-miniature for a signal path of the highest quality. It comes with shockmount, pop filter and A.T.A. flight case.


Features:
  • Multi-purpose mic - ideal for vintage pop vocal, brass, and electric guitar
  • Multipattern condensor - cardioid, omni, figure 8
  • Vintage Tube and Class A discrete circuitry
  • Blue's famous hand-built large diaphragm capsule
  • Vintage sound - rich lows, detailed mid-range, silky presence in the highs
  • Integrated capsule shockmounting; mic hand-tuned and tested
  • Includes the premium quality Cactus tube power supply, Champagne tube mic cable, ATA style storage case, Series 1 Shock/Pop integrated shock mount and pop filter

B.L.U.E. Cactus  
by jeffrey smith from orlando, November 01, 2005

“This mic is the most awesome mic I have ever owned for lead vocals. I have a U87 TLM 103 and an AKK C414EB and I prefer this warm vintage sound to any of my other mics.”
