Blue Microphones Bottle Rocket Stage 1 Studio Series Microphone With S-3 Shock And Cases

FET MICROPHONE FEATURING INTERCHANGEABLE CAPSULES

LET YOUR SOUND TAKE FLIGHT
Like its sibling the Bottle, Bottle Rocket Stage One is designed breaking away from traditional microphones in order to propel to your creativity to new sonic heights. The hand-tuned B8 capsule is designed for providing flexibility for a variety of recording scenarios, and our acclaimed interchangeable Bottle Caps (sold separately) are intended for enabling you to create virtually any mic imaginable and capture any sound source at the same time.

Ready for Launch
Bottle Rocket Stage One comes including the B8 large-diaphragm cardioid condenser Bottle Cap. Its mission: total recording versatility. The B8 capsule is a hotrod version of one of the world’s most legendary condenser capsules. But unlike it’s predecessor, which was lacking in mids, B8 is tuned for a lush midrange with a gorgeous lift around 5kHz and a smooth cut around 8kHz. It’s perfect for capturing a wide variety of sound sources with stunning detail—that includes the lead vocals, electric and drums, acoustic guitars, percussion, horns and strings.

All the Right Stuff
Bottle Rocket Stage One is professionally designed and hand-built in the USA for a lifetime of use. It comes featuring very low self-noise (<7.5dB), exceptionally high output (+12dBV), and a proprietary transformerless Class A FET circuit that delivers the most accurate, noise-free signal available. It even comes with a spider mount and flight case.

Interchangeable Capsules
Bottle Caps are a system of interchangeable capsules that provide a variety of tonal ranges, characters, diaphragm sizes and polar patterns for total recording versatility. Big vocal sounds. Vintage and modern sounds. Delicate, accurate reproduction. Different patterns. All in a single microphone. And the quick-change connection makes experimenting with new sounds fast and easy.
