Blue Microphones Dragonfly Condenser Microphone Details

The Blue Microphones Dragonfly Condenser Microphone is one of Blue's most affordable mics and Electronic Musician's 2001 Editors' Choice Award for Best Microphone! Complete with an integrated elastic shockmount, this cardioid condenser studio mic brings Blue's big, bright sound to a new low price point. For vocals, the Dragonfly rules. It provides a similar sweet sound as that of the vintage Neumann and AKG mics heard on thousands of pop recordings in a huge range of styles. Similar in quality, that is, because the Dragonfly is no mere imitator. It puts its own distinctive signature on the sound. No matter what the size of your recording facility, you NEED a Dragonfly in your studio! The ability to position the capsule at so many angles relative to a sound source opens up a world of sonic opportunity for you. And since the Dragonfly is the most affordable of Blue's high-performance mics, project studio owners can now afford to treat their studio to these sweet Blue sounds.

The Dragonfly generates a silky extended top-end, contoured midrange and a bump at the upper end of the lower frequencies that thickens thin signal sources. With an integrated elastic shockmount and rotating head, the Dragonfly utilizes its innovative industrial design to enable quick and precise mic placement on the fly. The Dragonfly is ideally suited for high-frequency sources like alto and soprano vocals, percussion, electric guitar, cymbals, and "difficult" sources such as stringed instruments.
