The Does-it-all Microphone

The Blue Microphones Reactor is a versatile studio workhorse that you can use to record anything. Even if your current mic locker is an empty drawer, the Reactor is the perfect mic to start off with. First off, its design makes the Reactor one of the simplest multipattern mics you'll ever use. Large polar-pattern icons give you instant feedback, so you'll know at a glance which pattern you've selected. Its head swivels 90 degrees, making it perfect for positioning in tight spaces or for use in multiple mic setups. What's more, the Blue Reactor includes a complete accessories package!

The Reactor lets you select between cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 configurations, making it perfect for a wide range of applications. Whether you need tight off-axis rejection of a cardioid pattern or want to capture every sound in the room with an omni setup, the Reactor is the go-to mic for you!
