DISC Blue Dragonfly Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Full Description

Large Diaphragm Capsule

The Blue Dragonfly Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a unique pressure-gradient cardioid condenser microphone, employing Blue's hand-built single-membrane large diaphragm capsule coated with a 6-micron mylar film of pure gold and aluminum. Enclosed within a rotating spherical grille, the capsule can be positioned and adjusted in the smallest spaces.

Class A Discrete Circuit

The Blue Dragonflys electronics are based on a class A discrete circuit, with a transformerless output. Its sonic character gives flight to everything from vocals to percussion, electric guitar and bass, as well as more difficult sources such as saxophones and stringed instruments. The Dragonfly also includes an integrated elastic shockmount for protection during use in the studio.
