Blue Microphones has launched enCORE, a new series of microphones that bring their heritage of high-quality studio microphones to the stage.
The enCORE 100, 200, and 300 models are designed and priced for any live application from the rehearsal space and coffee shop to the auditorium and stadium.
The new enCORE series microphones are the result of years of research designed to bring Blue’s studio sound to the stage, starting with their exclusive Aria Capsule.
Every element of the Aria Capsule is precisely matched and tuned to achieve a detailed and clear sound. To protect the capsule, the enCORE Series feature the thickest steel grills on the market along with an oversized reinforcement ring.
Further adding to their ruggedness are heavy, precision-machined cast-zinc bodies, which have been tested to perform uniformly after dropping, throwing, and even being run over by a 7-ton truck.
“We’ve always focused our microphones on the artist and their needs and applications. It’s only natural that we would follow them out of the studio and on the road with a product that will give them that great Blue sound every night on stage,” said Skipper Wise, one of the founders of Blue Microphones.
The enCORE 100 is a studio-grade dynamic microphone featuring Blue’s custom-tuned Aria dynamic capsule.
The enCORE 200 adds Blue’s Active Dynamic circuitry and output transformer, coupling the ruggedness and high SPL handling of a dynamic mic with the consistency and low noise of a phantom powered mic..
The enCore 300 is the flagship of the series and offers vocalists uncompromised performance featuring a hand-selected Blue ARIA condenser capsule with a matched pre-amp and phantom power circuit, a tuned enclosure, and Blue’s proprietary reinforced chassis, which controls airflow around the capsule for unparalleled vocal control and a natural, open sound.
enCORE microphones recently made their professional stage debut and are being utilized in notable music clubs such as The Highline Ballroom, The Viper Room and The Troubadour in Los Angeles.
enCORE 100 and 200 microphones will be available at authorized music retailers in October 2009, while enCORE 300 will be available in late 2009.
Pricing:
enCORE 100 – $99.99 MSRP
