Kiwi Large Condenser Mic

Manufacturer: Blue

The sonic signature of today! Featuring Blue's world-renowned B6 capsule, the Kiwi delivers the detail of its sonic signature all at once with lots of top end (without being too in your face!), along with lots of mids and bottom end, without being too forward. Designed to set the standard for solid state microphones, the Kiwi yields lush vocals, stunning acoustic guitar and gorgeous piano sounds from nine diferent polar patterns (omni, cardioid, figure-8 and everything in between).

When your recording environment requires a bit of versatility, Blue's Multi-pattern Series microphones deliver. Designed around custom hand-tuned capsules, these uniquely designed mics offer a diverse sonic landscape, whether it's a guitar in carioid mode, background vocals in figure of 8, or an orchestra in omni. The choices are almost unlimited! Plus, if your recording application requires M/S, W/Y or a simple stereo setup, a pair of these multi-pattern mics opens up your recording space to even more possibilities. With Blues Multi-pattern Series, your mic locker will be infinitely expanded.

MULTI-PATTERN STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE

FLAGSHIP SOUND 

Kiwi is our flagship multi-pattern FET microphone, and defines the pinnacle of modern vocal and instrument recording. Born from our legacy of inimitable design and innovation, Kiwi delivers a world-class vocal sound to inspire once-in-a-lifetime performances. Nine selectable polar patterns provide unlimited creative freedom for any recording session. And the sound—shimmery, elegant top end with articulate midrange and full-bodied low end—has Kiwi winning out against the most revered vintage mics when it comes to capturing world-class vocal tracks.

FULL-SPECTRUM PERFORMANCE

Precision engineered, hand-built, and beautifully crafted, Kiwi delivers unmatched results for every recording session. It combines the low noise and superb transient response of our proprietary FET circuitry with smooth midrange, and crisp, airy high end that flatters vocals, guitars, piano and other lead instruments. The result is full and articulate sound that sits forward in the mix, but is silky rather than aggressive. Kiwi even captures the difficult resonance of female vocals in vibrant detail.

HANDPICKED COMPONENTS

Kiwi is designed and hand-built in the USA for a lifetime of use. Our acclaimed B6 Bottle Cap capsule and twin acoustically matched single backplate large diaphragm capsules deliver unmatched sonic character and frequency response across all polar patterns. The transformerless operation and discrete circuitry guarantees that nothing can compromise the fidelity of the signal path, so you get the purest sound possible during every recording session.
