BLUE Dragonfly Cardioid Condenser Microphone
In the 1960's Mohammed Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, boasted he "Floats like a butterfly, stings like bee." BLUE's knockout punch microphone, the Dragonfly, is best described by this famous statement. Complete with an integrated elastic shockmount, this class A discrete, transformerless microphone offers a rotating capsule grill that can be positioned in the most difficult of areas. Countless hours of research and development were spent to test and select the most suitable active and passive components. This no compromises process, can assure the low noise, high dynamic range and unappreciable distortion of the microphone circuitry. The end-result gives the Dragonfly complete sonic neutral electronics with low-output impedance and no side effects from the cable capacitance and load impedance. This way only the capsule determines the sound. The Dragonfly incorporates the BLUE handcrafted 1 in. active diameter capsule. For this diaphragm they have selected a 6 micron mylar film which has been sputtered with a special mixture of pure gold and aluminum. The capsule operating principle is a pressure gradient with the pickup pattern being cardioid. The Dragonfly is packaged in an attractive linen box. About BLUE Microphones BLUE microphones are more than just a recording toolá they are an investment in value, quality, and expression. You will display them for their artistic beauty, covet and protect them for their investment value, and treasure them for conveying the heart and soul of any musical recording. BLUE stands for Baltic Latvian Universal Electronics Ö and for the ultimate in quality! Their work speaks for itself. You'll find BLUE microphones are beyond compare as a valuable investment and unsurpassed as a musical production tool. BLUE has its own facility located in Latvia (one of the Baltic states, located outside Russia). At BLUE, they are not interested in cost-effective mass production, which could jeopardize the design quality of their tube and solid-state microphones and related products. They design and manufacture all capsules (the heart of the microphone) as well as precision parts, from the smallest screw to the large body shells used for their Bottle microphones. They've researched the needs of engineers and musicians alike, to create an exceptional collection of microphones. What makes BLUE microphones so unique, and so valuable? The mylar film of the BLUE hand-built capsules are sputtered with a special, unique-to-BLUE formula of 24-carat gold of absolute pure (99.99%) quality and aluminum. This special film is tensioned to their own hand-built brass backplates, designed and manufactured in our Riga factory. The formula allows them to achieve the fastest transient response without the sacrifice of low-end frequencies. BLUE considers the capsule to be the heart of the microphone. This most important element is manufactured solely by us and not sourced from another company. This process is crucial to achieving the unique sound quality that is the trademark of a BLUE microphone. BLUE builds and tunes each capsule by hand. The finished capsules are measured in their anechoic chamber for the optimum performance. Each microphone capsule is mounted with our molded, injected rubber stem, to isolate unwanted rumble. The optional elastic shockmounts eliminate outside infrasonic interference. No integrated circuits. BLUE's solid state and tube microphone amplifiers are based on a Class A, fully discrete circuit, employing a custom microphone transformer built and wound to their specifications. This enables their hand-built microphone capsules to be fully realized in their performance. When their mics are used with BLUE's high-definition mic cables, the sound has extreme presenceá"as if someone is singing right next to your ear." Strict electronic and construction tolerances are insured by the use of high-end quality components. These tolerances guarantee unsurpassed reliability and low noise. All of their microphones handle loud sound pressure levels (SPL) and still capture the crucial dynamics that make recordings stand out. They studied the frequency curves from scores of vintage, tube, and solid-state microphones, from which they determined the most desirable sound qualities. The sonic design of their microphones was created by what they term TPO, or The Popular Opinioná the consensus of expert engineers and discriminating musicians on the type of sound that is needed in the recording process today.
