Introducing Blue’s first spherical condenser microphone, the 8-Ball! No chalk needed!
Press Release
Posted 2004-05-27
The new 8-Ball microphone from Blue gives
new meaning to playing “in the pocket!”
While it may bear a striking resemblance to
another sphere that recently took the microphone world by storm, the 8-Ball resembles its circular cousin the Ball in looks alone.
The 8-Ball is a cardioid condenser
microphone designed with the needs of the
professional recordist in mind, but priced
within reach of the beginning home user or
hobbyist. Featuring Blue’s highly regarded
Class A discrete low noise amplifier circuit,
the 8-Ball’s smooth frequency response is
sure to please even the most discerning
professional ear. Perfect for applications as
varied as drum overheads to acoustic and
electric guitars or vocals, the 8-Ball will quickly
become one of your “go to” microphones.
A standard thread swivel mount at the
base of the microphone allows the user to
pivot The 8-Ball back and forth, making mic
placement a snap. And because The 8-Ball
requires phantom power, a front-mounted
LED confirms that the mic is ready to use.
Hustle over to your local Blue dealer and
experience the 8-Ball for yourself. Its versatility,
performance and price is your cue for
adding this outstanding mic to your audio
repertoire. But do it before those annoying
aliens beat you to it!
