Blue Microphone Preamp

[Mono / Stereo] The Blue Yeti it’s a best USB Microphone.

[0.485 lb] Excellent for my Blue Yeti microphone! Easy to install.

[0.16 lb] It's a bit small and I could barely fix it on my blue microphone, but enough ...

[Mac, Windows] This would be my first gaming headset, the blue microphone definitely is very different from anything i used before. thanks again B&H. Received the headset in just 4 days.

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

[Download] This is a broadcast-style microphone (front address), but it is NOT a dynamic mic. It is actually a small-diaphragm condenser microphone with a BIG sound. You get the absolute clarity and detail you'd expect from a small-diaphragm, but if you run it through a tube-based preamp (UA-610B for example), you also get a warm and full sound. To my ears, the clarity and detail are far superior to the SM7B or the RE20, and depending on your preamp, you can obtain that darker, rich sound of the SM7B (great for podcasting) or you can achieve sonic clarity (great for voiceovers). I personally run mine through a Cranborne EC1 preamp into the PreSonus Quantum 2626 interface and into the Studio One 5 Professional DAW. The EC1 can provide total sonic clarity or add a bit of mojo depending on your taste and needs. The only downside of this mic is that if you're looking for background noise rejection, you'd be better off with a dynamic mic (SM7B, RE20, etc.). This is a condenser mic and it shows in its sensitivity. If you have decent acoustic control over your space, I highly recommend the ETHOS for broadcast, podcasts, streaming, and voiceovers.

[4x RJ45] About as good as it gets for a microphone preamp. It's worth it to get this or the EC1 as a front end for your recording setup if you're in the market. The headphone mixing makes it perfect: That way you never really have to worry about buffer or latency settings in your interface. Plenty of power for all headphones (more than I've ever heard in any recording interface!) and quite clean too. (Almost too powerful for IEMS though! - it works but you may need to turn things way down though) If you look up reviews/specs: it measures really well: you can't do any better for a clean preamp or DI. I've never been a fan of tube pres or transformer pres: but if you want that sound: the Mojo actually gets that type of sound but better anyways if you want 'tone'. (I simply just never switch it on) The external power supply I'm not a fan of: I'd happily pay a bit more for a larger chassis and internal power supply. It's just one of those: if your cable breaks or you run it over with a chair or the pins get damaged - a replacement may not be easy to find and if you have something important to record and need to wait a week or months if this is your only preamp - that may not be what you want. I'd suggest first buying a DPA or earthworks mic or another SDC that works great on vocals and any instrument: they make the biggest difference. Then interface as most interface preamps are pretty clean - and then one of these after that. These have more headroom and just sound a bit less compressed than most other preamps (easier to hear with IEMS) but a microphone and placement is obviously more important. Though the 0 latency headphone monitoring might actually be quite important too - to make sure you get a good take? Either way - the EC1 or EC2 are great!

[Plug-In Power] I have used this dual microphone directly plugged in my X-T4 and the sound is great. It has a tiny preamp powered by an LR44 battery. I don't know how long it last though. Of course, it works even with the preamp turned off (i.e. with the switch in OFF/smartphone position), but you have to turn up the internal preamp of the camera in that case. I can't say for certain if it mic would work as well on a camera with a lower quality pre-amp than the X-T4, but I'm very impressive quality for the low price.

[1/4"-20] I realise this is not what it was designed to do...but I use this screw to mount my Blue Snowball microphone to my GlideGear TMP-50 Teleprompter. The arm that holds the smartphone clips on the teleprompter already has a small threaded portion at the tip, so adding this screw was easy. The shaft is the exact length I needed to go through the arm. It screws perfectly into an Auray adapter. Now my microphone is mounted right in front of me (and out of the shot) and I'm getting much better audio!

[Black] well It works very well to support my blue snowball microphone. not so many things bad about it all good things its sturdy best weight and even works for some small video recorder's... its an all out great mic stand...
