Blue Microphones Bottle Multi Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone

Blue Microphones Bottle Multi Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone

The Bottle is Blue Microphones' flagship recording tool, combining low noise and superb transient response integrated with a system of eight optional interchangeable capsules (The Bottle Caps). In an instant, these bayonet-mount capsules can be exchanged to provide different tonal characteristics and pickup patterns while the power supply remains on. The Class A discrete amplifier circuit of the Bottle is a thoroughly modern homage to the past, with a design utilizing a single hand-selected EF86 pentode vacuum tube in triode mode. In keeping with their philosophy of sonic purity and fidelity, Blue does not incorporate pads or filters into the Bottle. The result is a microphone that many recording artists and engineers consider the ultimate in sound, quality and innovation available today.
