Up for sale is a fantastic vintage Blue Microphones Blueberry large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone. This is a highly sought-after, premium studio workhorse designed to give vocals and acoustic instruments a commanding, intimate presence with a shimmering, airy high-end reminiscent of classic vintage tube mics. ​Because the low-end is beautifully controlled and naturally "scooped" to minimize the proximity effect, this microphone is a legendary choice for contemporary vocals (pop, rap, and R&B) that need to sit perfectly at the front of a modern mix and handle heavy compression beautifully. ​This unit is a true classic from Blue's heritage lineup. Best of all, it still includes its original iconic red velvet-lined wooden storage box, which keeps the capsule well-protected and looks stunning on a studio shelf. ​Features: ​Capsule: Proprietary Blue single-membrane, hand-built large diaphragm condenser ​Circuitry: Class A discrete solid-state electronics (low noise floor, no ICs in the signal path) ​Polar Pattern: Cardioid (excellent rear rejection for home or pro studios) ​Applications: Exceptional on lead vocals, crisp acoustic guitars, strings, and snappy drum overheads/percussion.
