Blue Baby Bottle Sl Cardioid Condenser Microphone

[-43 / -23 dB] I really should have bought the ADX20IP Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone WITH the APS910 Power Supply ... but oh well ... live and learn. I use it connected to the Tascam DR-100 MKII and have loved the results.

[0.45 lb] As a filmmaker who likes to shoot outdoors, and likes to get audio of natural sounds, I've been wanting to get a Baby Ball for some time. I hesitated for quite a while because I was not sure it was worth the price. I have a Rode blimp for my shotgun microphone, and was able to use that to house my pencil microphone when needed. But it was a time-consuming and laborious process to switch out a 10 shotgun microphone for a five-inch cardioid pencil microphone. After purchasing Baby Ball Gag, it is easy to use my Behringer B-5 microphone outdoors--and to record the relatively faint sounds of insects and birdsong. I also find it useful for capture dialog in a quiet outdoor setting. I usually prefer the sound from the cardioid B-5, than that of the shotgun. I'm able to get a fuller, more nuanced recording of a person's voice. If you are a one-man-band, using a cardioid can be more forgiving than a shotgun, which will require a person to keep it pointed at the talent's mouth during the shoot. I also use it indoors when ceiling fans are in use. I'm about to begin working on a VLOG, and plan on using a combination of the B-5 with the Baby Ball, along with a lavalier microphone, to ensure the best possible sonic coverage (within my budget and setup). The Baby Ball Gag is THE solution to using pencil microphones out of doors. For me, a completely worthwhile purchase.

[5/8" Receiver] Use this to hold up my Blue Condenser Microphone. It's impressive because the microphone is extremely heavy #sweepstakes

[0.53 lb] Thankfully there's not much to say about this. It's a bag that fully covers my Blue Baby Bottle mic & protects it from dust while it's attached to a mic stand. The drawstring is easy to use and the bag is nice & sturdy. Simplicity at its best.

[3.675 lb] I own three different Blue mics, the Baby Bottle, 2 Snowballs and now the Yeti. (Oh and the now discontinued Blue Webcam 2.0) The Yeti lives up to the quality I expect from Blue. I've not tried the stereo setting on the mic, but all the others work as I would expect. (I own a total of about 20 mics for my home studio.) The Yeti will serve nicely for voiceovers and other speaking needs. I've used the Snowballs in the past for this, but I'm a mic hound so when there was a sale I bought a Yeti. I have to say I like the frequency response of the Yeti better, at least for my voice. Setup consisted of plugging it in. I like the stand, high quality and stable. The mute button is a bit squishy, but that is a nit. Overall, the mic delivers in spades!

[USB-A Male] The cable allowed me to move our Blue Snowball Condenser Microphone far enough away from the computer to make an online kenpo karate class audible, and instruction possible. Inexpensive, did its job, it was exactly what we needed.

[5 V] Purchased two SM81-LC - Cardioid Condenser Mic by Shure to use for drum overheads. The bomb! These mics do not color the sound. What you hear when you play is what you will hear out of the mixer. Fantastic mics. I don't have any other instrument condensers to compare them to, and I will never need to. It couldn't get any better than this. I'm using recorderman setup with two additional mics on bass drum and bottom of snare. This is perfect for recording drums. Sounds fantastic on conga too!

[Supercardioid] For when there is a little noise, I wanted a condenser with a hyper cardioid pattern. but those really cost. This is well past your SM58 or E835 at the high end, and the low is good at 6inches. The bright/not-harsh high end is incredible, and it is detailed like the RodeNT1 I usually use. I'm loving this thing.

[3.415 lb] This is the best value in low cost small diaphragm condenser microphones that I have found. Offering both Omni and Cardioid capsules, other microphones usually cost more than double the price for similar features. There is no switch to click to change the mic pattern; one simply has to unscrew the capsule and change it that way. I use it for recording acoustic guitar and find the sound to be perfect and I am very happy with my purchase. I'm so glad I got this mic as it is now discontinued....so get em' while they're still to be found. As a side note, this microphone is almost identical to the Superlux 241.
