Robert, Chester, VA Reviewsbased on 5 reviewsA condenser that does it all!
by Chris Kokesh from San Diego, CA USA
I needed a studio utility mic that does it all. I have been blown away by this mic! It really is great on everything, especially with the different polar patterns. This mic honestly stands up to conde... read more [+]nsers costing much, much more! I love it! If there was any complaint at all it would be the shock mount, I wish the connecting arm joint was a little more workable. Sometimes on a boom stand it can be a little tricky, but when it comes to sound, it's five stars for sure! close [-]

This microphone is an addition to blue's multi-pattern condenser series (Flagship= Blue Kiwi), and what an addition! The microphone is based largely off of the blue kiwi featuring the re-engineered b... read more [+]6 capsule and I am blown away! The microphone is very transparent, natural, and clean sounding. Vocals sound superb, and acoustic guitars and pianos sound like a dream. For a $500 microphone i say look out Neumann TLM 102 this one took the crown. Not only is this more versatile than the baby Neumann due to the selectable polar patterns. As far as i can tell, there has been no compromise in sound quality or build quality, UNTIL you see the shock mount. This is a heavy microphone, and I'll just say that the futuristic, modern (and cool looking) reactor based shock mount just doesn't cut it. Sorry blue, but that has to go. Other than that, this is an excellent microphone for anyone with a studio, no matter what setting or environment. close [-]
February 6, 2012 Music Background: Recording Engineer, Independent Artist, Singer/Songwriter Great Sound & Look - Unusable mounting!
by Rodger from Grand Rapids, MI
I enjoyed the sound of this pair of mics. Although I had to return the first mic since it had a short in the swivel (dropout/scratchy) When it was replaced, I could use the pair for standard XY & blu... read more [+]mlein configurations, and with one set with a cardioid pattern and the other one as bi-hemispherical, a sweet MS stereo was available.September 10, 2012 Music Background: Recording Engineer/Producer The shock mount is a nightmare! Very Atomic Age looking, but to set up for those mentioned configurations requires a pair of channel-locks! By the way, the screw that "holds" the mic in place is white steel and snapped off within a couple of days while I was just trying to get the mic to stand up. Until they fix the mounting configuration - Don't buy it! When they do, get it. close [-] Great Mic. Unstable shock mount.
