Blue Microphones Spark Studio Condenser Microphone

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

[Phantom Power] Great microphone in good price. I usually use it for the trumpet, and it has a warm sound which is unusual for the condenser microphones in this price range. It also allow me to record little details such as articulations and dainamics.

[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.

[Black] Sturdy microphone stand purchased to hold a heavy condenser microphone in a studio environment. Gets the job done, and as a 5'8 guy, it is able to adjust to a great height for recording vocals while standing.

[-10 dB] The NEUMANN U 87Ai is a studio microphone with outstanding performance and an attractive shape. NEUMANN microphones are the best. This company has almost 90 (ninety) years of experience in the manufacture of microphones. Truly amazing.

[Yes] Excellent, transparent, high quality studio microphone cable with Neutrik connectors. It is the right length and top quality and doesn't overdo with too heavy duty a connection, like the blue Kiwi cable, or the length (20' with the Blue). I'm using it with my Blue Yeti Pro Mic and the sound is really good! Why get a cheap cable you'll just have to replace later? The quality will save you money and space in the long run!

[9.65 x 4 x 2.3"] This was a good solution to using the Rode SVM for voice overs recording through the Audient iD14. Now I have a Blue Spark. The photo was before I bought the cable when I had solo channel audio from a stereo mic, due to using a XLR adapter. After the adapter, the sound was louder and better. But, not as good as the Blue Spark :) of course.

[Large Diaphragm] good basic Large Capsule Condenser Microphone.

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

[2.635 lb] I'm not exactly a master of all microphones, but I own a couple of TLM103s and maybe 6 other types of condenser mics. These mics sound fantastic. They're pricey, so if you have over $1,000 to spend on a microphone, I'd recommend getting one of these to produce a really clean recording of pretty much anything. I use it to record vocals, drum sets, other percussion, acoustic and electric guitars (paired with other mics), and it always sounds great. I've always used with the Neumann shock mounts.
