Blue Microphones “The Ball” Active Dynamic Cardioid Microphone + BLUE Ringer Shockmount 2003-2004 - Blue/Silver

BLUE Microphones “The Ball” Active Dynamic Cardioid Microphone + BLUE Ringer Shockmount

Original BLUE Microphones The Ball active dynamic microphone from my professional studio collection.

This is one of BLUE’s distinctive early spherical microphone designs and combines a dynamic transducer with active Class-A solid-state circuitry. Unlike a conventional passive dynamic microphone, The Ball requires 48V phantom power.

This microphone was used in a professional studio environment and has been carefully stored with its original packaging. It remains in very clean cosmetic condition for its age, with normal minor signs of use/storage visible in the photos.

Included:

• BLUE Microphones The Ball microphone
• Original BLUE retail box
• Original fitted Styrofoam packaging
• Original The Ball documentation/manual
• BLUE Ringer shockmount
• Ringer original box and fitted foam packaging

Serial Number: 005164

The included BLUE Ringer is the purpose-built suspension/shockmount for BLUE’s spherical microphone designs and makes this a particularly complete package.

• Cardioid polar pattern
• Frequency response: 35 Hz–16 kHz
