Marketed as the world's first studio-grade dynamic microphone with active electronics, the Blue enCORE 200 is one of the only live-use microphones that operates off of 48v phantom power. This handheld mic relies less on quiet gain from the mic preamp and has a higher average output of gain when compared to other dynamic microphones, making sure you'll be heard in a loud or cluttered mix. The consistency, durability, organic sound, and versatility of the Blue enCORE 200 are unmatched when it comes to this price point.
