CardioidBlue Microphones Ball

MSRP: $139 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

Blue Microphones Ball

Description

Blue’s first dynamic mic, the Ball employes a unique phantom-powered amplifier circuit designed to provide a “consistent pure-resistive 50-ohm load across the entire usable frequency spectrum,” which prevents the Ball from suffering the fate of traditional dynamic mic designs: a frequency-variable resistive load that adversely affects tone.

The Ball has a built-in swivel mount.

The Blue Microphones Ball is also known as: the-ball.

The mic was released in 2003.
