Blue Bluebird Sl Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

I bought this stand to hold a large-diaphragm Bluebird Microphone for in home studio use. This is very sturdy with adjustable height and easy to put together and take apart if you need to travel with it. I don't have to worry about it tipping over. This was one of the heaviest I found for a great price. I highly recommend this product and would buy it again.

I have bought several of these microphones throughout the years. I don't know another large-diaphragm condenser microphone with this price point that records as good audio as the NT-1. It has almost no noise to speak of. I pair it with a Scarlett 4i4 and the quality I get is incredible. Couldn't recommend this enough.

Bought it and using it as an alternative large diaphragm condenser microphone for vocal and acoustic recording. Definitely a difference in character of sound and quality as compared to staple SM 58 Shure. Good with details and such. One slight gripe may be the limited peaking capacity. the -10dB pad is there but I personally don't believe that I should be using it most of the time. Loud recording applications may feel some limitations, however its value to performance ratio is a definite plus. Good well rounded function and use so far! If you're using it in the home studio make sure you have some isolation proofing done b/c it will pick up the echos. (and also thin window pane means you'll get car traffic noise picked up in this thing - very sensitive!)

The Blue Baby Bottle SL is one of the best microphones under $500, it produces a wonderful, warm sound that sounds great on vocals. I can't speak personally for instruments because I use it for voiceovers, but I've heard that it works well for both acoustic and electric guitar.� The sound this mic produces has lots of presence in the high and mids, but still has solid bass. This mic isn't 'crunchy' in the high ends like its little brother, the Bluebird SL, so I would without a doubt recommend this over the Bluebird. The build quality on this mic is also outstanding, it has a nice heft to it, and it's all made out of metal so it's very sturdy. The shockmount included also is made of metal and is very effective at nullifying rumbles and shakes. As per usual with condenser mics, make sure you have a full 48v of phantom power when you use it so that it can get a signal, and make sure you use it with a pop filter or windscreen of some sort. Blue's "The Pop" windscreen looks really nice with it and works well. And on the subject of looks, this mic has a vintage sort of look to it, and it's really pleasing to look at. The shockmount ties in very well with the whole look of the mic, that is if looks are important to you in a microphone. Overall, if you purchase this mic, you will receive a nice package that produces an amazing vocal sound, looks very aesthetically pleasing, and is constructed very well. In my opinion, it is more than worth the $400 price tag.

I have an old original EV PL 76A electret condenser microphone. It is still one of the best sounding, small diaphragm, condenser microphones from the early 70's. Originally it had an internal foam pop filter built into the inside of the protective grille cover over the diaphragm element. Over the years this foam filter dried out and fell apart. I use this microphone quite a bit for voiceover work and I needed to replace the foam. I looked everywhere for a replacement. I finally checked B&H for generic pop filters. I was surprised to see that B&H actually had the large over the outside grey pop filter made by EV as an accessory for this microphone. I bought it immediately. It fits perfectly, looks great, the price was right and does exactly what a wind screen/pop filter is supposed to do. Thanks B&H for always having what I need.

Fits perfectly with Blue Bluebird and way cheaper than the Blue shockmount.

i had never had a large diaphragm condenser mic, only small ones, field recorders, and dynamics, but i am very impressed with this. astonished really. so glad i bought it.

Good, general purpose large diaphragm condenser. It is gold vapor deposited on the diaphragm, but it's no C-414, or Shure, for that matter. However, for the price, it will get you started. I bought this mic to match up with a GXL2200 I already had so I'd have a matching pair. I use this to pick up choir groups, pianos, etc. in a live-sound environment. It doesn't seem to have the output the pricier mics have, but it's also $800 - $1000 cheaper - there's the trade-off. So far I've been able to make up for it with the gain knob. With all that said, the overall sound quality is great and noise floor low. It should work fine for just about any application.

This is a recording I made you could listen to https://soundcloud.com/i-was-never-here/too I'm just using the large diaphragm condenser mic attachment I really love it I'm very happy with this but I'm worried about it's life span. If it lasts which I tried to buy the warranty but it's not available in Florida, it would be perfect. Exactly what I'm looking for.

I use this product as a mic cable to patch two large diaphragm condenser mics to a small mixer and to run through a clear com system and it works great!! The Audio-technica Premium Microphone Cable is what I will be purchasing in the future when it comes to balanced XLR cables.
