The Dragonfly
Blue Microphones' Dragonfly is not your jack-of-all-trades microphone. Rather, this elegant mic is a specialist, a creative tool you use to finesse vocals, guitars, pianos, drums, and other sources with stunning clarity, delicate nuance, and shimmering air. Together with its unique rotating capsule head and high SPL rating, the Dragonfly's notably tight cardioid polar pattern (almost hypercardioid at higher frequencies) gives you positioning flexibility you won't find with other large-diaphragm condensers. The Dragonfly's frequency response is not flat. Its smooth presence bump rises gently from 4kHz, with peaks around 6.5kHz and 10kHz — perfect for vocals and instruments you want to feature in the mix.

Class A discrete circuitry
Meticulously designed and handcrafted in California for a lifetime of use, the Dragonfly carries forth Blue Microphones' heritage of innovation and dedication to sonic excellence. The Dragonfly features Class A discrete circuitry, a finely tuned single-membrane large-diaphragm pressure-gradient capsule, and an innovative rotating head for precise mic placement and sound quality.
Innovative rotating head for precise mic placement
We've all struggled with mic placement difficulties, especially when using bulky large-diaphragm condenser mics. Blue Microphones solution is the Dragonfly. The Dragonfly's large spherical head grille and long, slender trailing body are suspended at a 30º angle from an integral shockmount, which makes it easy to position for optimal capture of any source.
