Blue Microphone Bluebird SL XLRCardioid Condenser Microphone for Recording, Streaming, Podcasting, Gaming, Mic with Large Diaphragm Cardioid Capsule, Shockmount and Protective Case

Best mic on the market!

Very good quality, sounds great for karaoke.

i own the spark sl and baby bottle from this brand and i'm v happy w the vocal output. this condenser is v bright and complements middle to high sounding voices, and its been in my mic locker for years—i still cycle it in my room setup often.

I'm not any sort of recording studio professional—I'm a ham radio operator who strives for good quality audio in the AM mode. Giving a lot of thought to what microphone would best complement the characteristics of my voice, this is the microphone I chose, after looking at many reviews. I'm not a guy with a deep "Darth Vader" voice; I've got more of a "Luke Skywalker" voice, with far more mid-range and highs than lows. This microphone lived up to its reviews, accentuating the presence and brilliance portions of the audio spectrum in my voice, and I've gotten a great many complements on the clarity of my audio. Everyone's voice is different, and given the characteristics of mine, I don't think I could have made a better choice. One caution: the thin stem that connects the microphone's head to its body looks fragile. You don't want to drop any good quality microphone, but dropping this one would probably be disastrous. I use the Heil PL 2T microphone boom, available on on Amazon.

The microphone in and of itself is great sounding. However the cradle that comes with it needs some work. Mine came cross threaded, when adjusting the angle for the microphone, the wing screw snapped.

I already had the correct cables and an audio interface that works reliably - all my other microphones successfully work on this interface. The mic showed up with the front of the mic loose and falling off. I couldn't even get it to pop back on. The inside was literally exposed. Additionally, it doesn't work at all upon plugging it in. Worst part is, I am paying over time through Affirm on this totally defunct item. Now I have extra steps to take to try and contact Affirm to get this sorted out. Really disappointed in Amazon.

Top Teir Recording Quality.Plugged it into a scarlet, volt, and even an antelope interface.All of them sound great!!!Not to mention that LUMA is just the best new sounding daw. It has great tape machine mixing effects that give you that SAUCE & BUTTER!!!

It was a gift for my son and he loves it. I'm probably going to buy him another.
