Blue Microphones Spark cardioid microphone

Blue Microphones has announced Spark, a cardioid, solid-state condenser microphone, with high-quality, fully discrete components and a focus control offering two sonic signatures.

Along with its design and ability to capture a wide range of recording situations, Spark is supplied with a custom shock mount and pop filter in a wooden case.

The condenser capsule, delivers low-noise, high-efficiency and rapid response in any recording situation. The sonic signature is crisp with an enhanced low end.

To achieve a more present sound, the focus control, gives a tighter, more direct and focused sound. The company uses custom-matched circuitry with the same professional-quality, Class-A discrete components found in its other professional microphones.

The circuit design also pairs Spark’s condenser capsule with a phantom-powered outboard amplifier to drive the capsule with linear control and accuracy.
