Blue Microphones Kiwi Large Condenser Microphone With S-3 Shock Mount And Case

MULTI-PATTERN FET STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE

Kiwi is designed as our flagship multi-pattern FET microphone, and it is defining the pinnacle of modern vocal and instrument recording. Born from our legacy of inimitable design and innovation, Kiwi is professionally designed capable of delivering a world-class vocal sound for inspiring a once-in-a-lifetime performances. Nine selectable polar patterns are intended for providing unlimited creative freedom for any recording session. And the sound—shimmery, elegant top end along with articulate midrange and full-bodied low end—has Kiwi winning out against the most revered vintage mics during the time it comes to capturing world-class vocal tracks.

FULL-SPECTRUM PERFORMANCE
Precision engineered, hand-built, and beautifully crafted, Kiwi is capable of delivering an unmatched results for every recording session. It is capable of combining the low noise and superb transient response of our proprietary FET circuitry that comes along with smooth midrange, and crisp, airy high end that is flattering guitars, vocals, piano and other lead instruments. The result is full and articulate sound that is sitting forward in the mix, but is silky rather than aggressive. Kiwi even is designed capable of capturing the difficult resonance of female vocals in vibrant detail.

HANDPICKED COMPONENTS
Kiwi is carefully designed and hand-built in the USA for a lifetime of use. Our acclaimed B6 Bottle Cap capsule and twin acoustically matched single backplate large diaphragm capsules are capable to deliver unmatched sonic character and frequency response across all polar patterns. The transformerless operation and discrete circuitry guarantees that nothing can compromise the fidelity of the signal path, so you get the purest sound possible during every recording session.
