Your Attention Please! Blue Microphones

Cutting-edge innovator Blue Microphones steps up again this year to dazzle the Esquire Signature Space with its latest high-end professional and consumer audio and video devices. Using the newest thinking in acoustics, and adept at leveraging the latest connectivity protocols, Blue Mic is uniquely able to bring incredible audio quality to highly portable, handheld devices. Blue Mic leads the way in the areas of super-high-quality live and studio music, home recording, and podcasts seamless for both PCs and Macs.

Blue Mic's products are showcased in the home music studio, created with designer Denise Kuriger for Diesel Only The Brave. Blue has deep roots in the music community, and brings a heavy-hitting array of both Blue musical artists and equipment partners in order to make this stunning room a fully functional professional-grade studio, which will be used by a host of musical guests during the Esquire SoHo season. Industry-leading studio partners include Avid, Euphonix, Grace Design, Monster, Tannoy, and Waves—and let’s not forget the Moog keyboard and a collection of guitars that weep and sing from the legendary house of Gibson.

Blue’s own hardware contribution includes a selection of nine different microphones that look as good as they sound.

Leading the pack is the Bottle, Blue’s flagship recording tool and its highest achievement in quality and innovation. The Bottle combines low noise and superb transient response integrated with a system of interchangeable capsules—called the Bottle Caps. In an instant, the bayonet-mounted Bottle Caps can be exchanged, providing different tonal characteristics and pickup patterns while the included power supply remains on. The Bottle is the definition of craftsmanship, with hand-assembled custom components. And with nine different Bottle Caps to choose from, the Bottle provides the ultimate recording experience for any application.

For those who want just a little bit more of that amazing Blue performance—there’s the enCORE 200. Everything Blue Microphones has learned over years of building the world’s best studio recording microphones has gone into the enCORE 200, a studio-grade handheld dynamic microphone designed to deliver exceptional all-around performance, for live shows or studio and broadcasting applications. The enCORE 200’s Aria Dynamic Capsule is specially tuned by Blue’s engineers to deliver natural vocals, balanced highs, and amazing detail and clarity. The unique, durable finishes, including signature styling and craftsmanship, guarantee the enCORE mic will deliver the performance of a lifetime, for a lifetime of performances.

For home consumers, the tiny but sexy Eyeball 2.0 is a must-have computer accessory. The wire-screened wonder pairs a high-quality audio microphone with a next-generation Webcam. Now featuring a higher-quality lens and premium optical sensor, the Eyeball 2.0 is capable of 2-megapixel resolution at 1600 x 1200 pixels. Like the original Eyeball, the 2.0 version features driverless installation for simple, USB plug-and-play use with either PC or Mac. As a celebrity-scandal prevention measure, the innovative camera-off privacy position allows the HD lens to retract into the high-fidelity microphone unit to prevent accidental broadcasts. The Eyeball 2.0 can perch nonchalantly on almost any laptop or desktop monitor, thanks to its unique design and included rubber monitor adapter, and will become available this winter.
