Blue Microphones Baby Bottle
MSRP: $799 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Description
The Baby Bottle is a pressure-gradient cardioid condenser microphone, employing an edge-terminated single-membrane large-diaphragm capsule. The diaphragm is a 6-micron mylar film, sputtered with a mixture of gold and aluminum. It is enclosed in a spherical grille with a side-address design. The assembly does not rotate or swivel (unlike some of Blue’s capsule designs).
The mic’s electronics are Class A discrete, with transformerless output.
Shipped with a swivel mount. Shockmounts are available separately.
The Baby Bottle, like several of Blue’s early products, was the subject of an intellectual property dispute in 2006, when the original manufacturer, SIA Scruples/Violet Design, attempted to register a lookalike microphone with the EU’s “Office for the Harmonization of the Internal Markets” — essentially the EU’s trademark office. The OHIM called Scruples’ registration invalid, awarding the IP rights to Martin Saulespurens of BLUE. For a time, this mic was known as the Violet JZ-6 or JZ6.
The Blue Microphones Baby Bottle is also known as: Baby Bottle, JZ6, JZ-6.
The mic was released in 2001.
