Blue Microphones Bluebird Mic Acoustic Guitar

Great mic for acoustic guitar and vocals

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.

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

I vacillated over which mic I should buy to pair up with my acoustic guitar and my Fender Acoustic Junior amp. This turned out to be ideal.

I bought this mic mostly for voice recording, but it also sounds great with my acoustic guitar.

Just got them one week ago , but ive tried the e70 on acoustic guitar in combination with a tube mic through my Chandler Tg2 and it sounded great . Ive also tried them as overheads with a great results....I live in Norway.

Purchased in 1999 this mic still works after all these years. It didn't get much use, as I only used it to record acoustic guitar. Nevertheless, it can do a lot more than just acoustic recording. Build quality is great, sound is excellent, a wide dynamic range, and frequency response. With small condensers mic placement is critical, and the NT3 is a lot more forgiving than my AKG C1000s.

I purchase this Rode NT3 about 2 years ago from B&H. I'm very pleased with this mic. Is perfect a specialy for acoustic guitar.

I use the mic to record vocals and acoustic guitar in my home studio. I find it clear and responsive across all frequencies, with little feedback. It feels solid and comes with a handy carry pouch for traveling. Overall, great value mic.

I use this mixer primarily for wedding receptions. There are enough inputs to run my acoustic guitar, vocal mic, wireless mic for toasts, and 2 laptops for dance music. I also dig the ability to run it into my computer for recording!
