Since 1995, Blue microphones have impressed studio singers with their presence, openness and detailed nuance of their performance through the capsules of their famous “Blue Bottle” series, modeled after the highly acclaimed German RFT microphones. When they mastered that area, they quickly followed up and dominated the ever-evolving marketplace of home recording microphones with their extraordinarily popular USB “Snowball” microphone. It would be natural to assume that their passage into the live audio realm will be embraced with the same approval as their previous innovations. The Blue enCORE studio grade active dynamic performance microphones are what come next in the quest for the perfect live vocal. The new mics feature unrivaled detail and clarity, as well as a rugged design that stands up in the studio as well as on the road. The enCORE 100 is the entry-level issue in this series, and deploys Blue’s exclusive “Aria Dynamic Capsule” and unique styling. The enCORE 200 is the next step up with an added output transformer for increased gain, and an Active Dynamic phantom power circuit. Both are worthy investments and are sure to become hot sellers.
