For those who'd like to take advantage of a mighty fine mic solution for their personal studios, how about a Pro Tools LE BLUE Factory bundle and additional savings? Act today and save with the Mbox BLUE Factory bundle, and the Digi 002 Rack or Digi 002 BLUE Factory bundles.
Just like the regular LE Factory bundles, the LE BLUE Factory bundles include the Pro Tools LE system of your choice and its respective LE Factory plug-in bundle - and adds a BLUE Bluebird mic and its accessory kit (BirdNest pop filter, BirdCage shock mount, and a premium Blueberry cable).
BLUE microphones have garnered a lofty reputation for their sonic excellence as well as their visual appeal. Specifically developed by BLUE for Digidesign, the Bluebird microphone employs a transformerless Class A discrete amplifier circuit to ensure the most accurate and noise-free signal possible, with minimal distortion and coloration. Its sonic characteristics can be best described as "what you hear at the input is what you get at the output."
The Bluebird's neutral character and rich midrange response make it an ideal microphone for recording vocals, drums, electric guitar, piano, and most acoustic instruments including difficult sources like saxophones, flutes, and strings. The mic ships in an elegant, maple-toned wood box perfect for storage or transport.
In Recording magazine's May 2004 issue, Paul Vnuk wrote, "I wouldn't go as far as to give this mic a 'Swiss Army Knife' award, but if I could only take one mic on a job, I would consider this one."
TapeOp magazine's John Baccigaluppi recently stated in the March/April 2004 issue, "...If you're thinking of buying a Focusrite/Digidesign box that offers the bundle, is it worth a bit more to get the mic or should you just buy the box [system]? Definitely get the bundle, this mic is a keeper!"
