The Bluebird is Blue Microphones' response to popular opinion--most people ask for a mic with a warm tone and silky smooth highs, and the Bluebird delivers. Engineered to be as versatile as possible, the Bluebird maintains the high-quality, no-compromise audio that you expect from Blue Microphones. This makes it ideal for male and female vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, close-miking of drums, drum overheads, percussion, piano, horns, and strings--in short, whatever you need it for most.
Proprietary Capsule and Discrete Electronic ComponentsEach professional-grade Blue Microphone utilizes a unique, proprietary capsule design to capture a specific sonic signature, and the Bluebird is no exception. As a large-diaphragm condenser with a cardioid polar pattern, the Bluebird is built to capture rich, full-bodied sound from sources that are directly in front of the mic.
The capsule and cardioid pattern combine with high-quality electronic components, including a Class-A discrete amplifier circuit, to ensure that each Bluebird mic offers consistent, reliable performance with extended top- and bottom-end sound detail. The electronic components in all of Blue's microphones have been carefully selected, based on 20 years of engineering and experimentation, in order to increase microphone speed, decrease distortion, reduce product variance, and ensure long-term dependability.
Unique Vintage Look and Complete SetupSatin nickel plating and a baby-blue grip give the Bluebird Mic an original look that matches its well-rounded audio performance. A specially designed shockmount and metal mesh pop filter for laying down clean vocals are included with the mic. It also comes with a wooden storage case that matches the mics retro good looks.
The Bluebird is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Beautiful mic with great sound, By Sean (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Blue Microphones Bluebird Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Electronics) This microphone is an excellent microphone that has a flat frequency response from 100 hz to 2khz. It does have a bump in the 2khz to 10khz which provides some sheen for higher vocalists, but can also provide some "esss" problems for certain singers. The easiest ways to fix this is to point the microphone between the upper lip and under the nose, or simply using a de-esser.Now onto the microphone (paired with a Grace m101 pre-amp): Great clarity, relatively low self noise, and very beautiful to look at. For acoustic guitar and mid range male vocals, such as mine, this mic is an excellent choice. To best use the bluebird to its fullest potential, I think you should really sing close into it. I found that there was a huge difference from a couple inches away to 6+ inches. You'll get your money's worth if you don't fear the mic! Accessories: The provided pop filter doesn't really do a great job, but I think everyone that is getting into recording should buy a...

Running the mic through a DBX 376 mic pre, I was able to get some great vocals. Though to get a good amount of clarity on the consonants I did have to ask the singer to back up about six inches from the mic. Being close in, the mic just didn't pick up the T and S sounds. With that adjustment, the mic did a good job on vocals ending up with takes the singer and I were both happy with. It didn't blow me away, but it sounded good. I've used it on a combo amp with good results as well as acoustic guitar and mandolin with better results. Not blown away, but overall happy with the way it sounds being a two to three hundred dollar mic.What I really don't like about this mic is how the look of the design and aesthetics of the mic are clearly more important to blue than the functionality. Getting this thing in and out of the shock mount is a bit of a pain as it threads into it. I just know I'm going to mis-thread... Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Beautiful work of art that sounds great!!!!, By This review is from: Blue Microphones Bluebird Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Electronics) As always, Blue comes out on top with aesthetic design. Simply put, there's no manufacturers left that make mics that looks as beautiful as these! But mics are all about recording and the Bluebird is no slouch - it's a great all around mic, but I found it perfect for vocals, stringed instruments, and some light percussion. Highs are crisp and the plosives seemed controlled.I like this mic so much I bought a second one not even 6 months later - highly recommended! Came in a velvet blue lined wood box, though the Birdcage shockmount doesn't fit inside for storage. :-( |
