Blue Microphones Baby Bottle Cardioid Condenser Mic Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've experimented at my home studio with many mics in this price range... and I've worked in very high end rooms where we had Neuman's and old Sony's. It doesn't matter, if you don't have basic mic techniques down, you can make a 7ooo.oo "moded" Telefunkin sound like the condenser in your old cassette recorder.
With That in Mind...
This Mic Rivals Mics costing three times it's list price to my ears.
Plenty of bottom, well appointed high's .. and a very present but un-screechy midrange. Excellent for loud guitars, snare drums.. even lower "bout" mic-ing on a Larivee Concert Grand acoustic at a slight off-axis proved bright and full. But where this thing really shines, is on Female Vocals... Gospell/Country/Even Pop,, close and warm with low low noise...wow~
I have a "Studio Projects" original C-1 with a slight mod that I use for Male/metal/Pop vocal stuff as it delivers a munch sharper mid and high, the Baby Bottle for Female Vox/Acoustic git/Electric git/horns and Piano... over head, a pair of C-1000's an "Earthworks" drum "set" and a Sanheiser for Electric Bass cab.. and that's about it. If I have a Thousand bucks total invested I'd be surprised. And I'm charging 80.00 an hour (home studios can make money)
If I had only "1" to go do a job with.. It would be the Blue.. I'd really like to buy 2 preferably in sequence and then I'd get rid of the C1000's all together.
Lastly..It's got a "Euro" Vibe ...I can't put my finger on it any better than that. Funny thing about Chinese Mics they all sound the same,,,(except for the SP C-1), None of them have that real clarity without the sibilant shrill top end.. The Bottle is so low noise and silky smooth it's an immediate thing... you'll feel it.
If I lost It..
I would replace it immediately.
