Take This Amazing and Affordable Blue Mic to the Stage!

The Blue enCORE 300 handheld condenser microphone lets you take Blue's proven studio quality straight to the stage! The beautifully distinctive-looking enCORE 300 features a premium, hand-tuned condenser capsule that gives you very clear, open, and detailed performance on vocals — and its cardioid pickup pattern makes this mic very effective at rejecting feedback and outside noise bleed. The combination of this amazing capsule, a custom phantom power circuit, and a unique reinforced chassis results in a stage-ready condenser mic that you can count on to deliver the goods — the enCORE 300!

  • Blue's flagship performance mic
  • Road-ready build quality
  • Genuine Blue mic, at a great price

Blue's flagship performance mic
The enCORE 300 is a flagship condenser performance microphone with its roots in Blue’s legendary tuned condenser studio microphones. The enCORE 300’s Aria Condenser Capsule is hand-selected and tuned for an open, detailed and present sound that is as well-suited to the stage as it is the studio.

Road-ready build quality
Blue’s engineers matched the capsule to a custom-designed phantom power circuit, and together these elements provide a rapid response and a great sound that is an ideal match for powerful vocals. The enCORE 300’s unique reinforced chassis design mounts the capsule for optimal performance and isolation from handling noise, while providing vault-like protection for the Aria capsule to ensure years of breathtaking performances.

Genuine Blue mic, at a great price
If you think getting such a great-sounding, stage-ready mic requires big-time bucks, prepare to be amazed yet again! Though the enCORE 300 is made from premium components and built tough enough to take to the road, it's also very affordable. Call your Sales Engineer and get your hands on genuine Blue quality, at a great price!

Absolutely Astounded

by JW from Charlotte, NC

My guitar player was always having to "eat his mic" which tended to get in the way of his reading sheet music. So I've went looking for a condenser mic that had a tight pattern that would still pick... read more [+] up but give little feedback. After plugging it in, I couldn't believe how much gain and control I had over his vocals. I've used the 87's and the Beta 87's but I've never had this much control. There are definitely going to be more 300's added to my mic vault in the coming year. close [-]

Amazing Quality....what I've been looking for!

I've been using a Blue Bluebird and Icicle for my podcasting for sometime now, and the quality is just exceptional. I recently purchased the enCore 300 for field work. I will just say, the quality i... read more [+]s phenominal! I recorded a local politician speak to a group that I podcast for. The sound was just amazing. I've always looked to NPR for sound broadcast quality. With this microphone, I found it. close [-]

must have.

yep! me too
Digico SD8 eq setting to flat and you are good to go. If you check the frequency chart, its just what the sound doctor ordered especially on this console. you don't need eg which I... read more [+] think some may over do it cause I though it sounded fuller and better over our ksm9 (wireless) but I did notice there were some equalizing on it.
Having it compare side by side, she actually choose the encore 300 which to her sound fuller, clear in other words, just right for her.
So to me, its just as good as as ksm9 wireless which I also do highly recommend too.
Ksm9 (wireless)very good too but again, depend on the sound person hearing cause they can also make it sound bad. So, encore 300 on this console Digico SD8, just plug it in and wala....sound good as ksm9....just don't forget to turn on the Fantom power. Am gonna get the encore 200 too which is gonna be just as clear with that dynamic sound and again plug in a wala.....no need mess with eq. also extra SPL is always a plus.

Blue enCORE 300

Music Background: Worship-Leader for 14 years, hobbyist
LOVE this mic!!!!!! Been using a Beta 87A for the past few years with great success, but this mic is better in my humble opinion. And for just $50 more than the 87A, it's a no-brainer. Had to turn ... read more [+]the gain down a good bit, maybe 20-25%, so it's more sensitive, but is more detailed, clear, and open in the upper treble region as opposed to the Beta 87A, which had a hotter treble and seemed more feedback-prone, especially in the context of a band. This mic reproduces my voice in a more natural and transparent way, and has very low handling-noise. Just killer... close [-]

Season 10 AMERICAN IDOL's jewel!

by Michael Ashby from Elmont, NY

Music Background: Recording Engineer, Pro Musician, Student
This has that noticeable super clean top end normally associated with BLUE mics in general but NOW ON STAGE! The only reason why I rate it 4.5 is because in comparison to the Neumann KK 104/Sennheiser... read more [+] SKM5200-UHF (in custom chrome finish) used on the previous American Idol seasons, this interesting BLUE mic requires the singer to be right up on the grill in order not to hear a decrease of power from the singers projection! Problem is many singers like to hold the mic away from there mouth as they hit a hight note and that keeps taking away from the experience as i listen to every performance on IDOL this year! Thats the biggest noticeable difference I can hear from this mic compared to the previous mic they used on IDOL.

Like always IDOL gets something special done to there main mic LOL so with the enCORE 300, BLUE worked with "Beats by Dr. Dre & Monster" to developed the wireless transmission system for this new live mic from BLUE! On American IDOL this microphone is known as the Blue/Beats by. Dr. Dre Wireless mic from BLUE's enCORE 300 Series, custom made for IDOL!!! =D close [-]
