If you're looking to add a professional flair to your podcasting, streaming or other recording efforts, you may want to check out Blue's latest addition, the Blackout Spark SL Mic. It features a "professional XLR connection" that integrates with USB interfaces and mixers.
Designed for versatility, the Blackout Spark SL’s custom-designed JFET condenser capsule delivers consistent, detailed and transparent sound for a wide range of recording scenarios. The cardioid only polar pattern greatly reduces pickup of background noise, and excels at recording a single gamer, speaker, or vocalist. A 100Hz high-pass filter and -20dB pad bring professional versatility to any project with the flip of a switch. The -20dB pad keeps voice clear and crisp when things get intense on a stream, while the 100Hz high-pass filter eliminates rumble or other low noises from desktops or noisy environments. The Blackout Spark SL comes with a shockmount for easy connection to a boom arm or mic stand.
The Blackout Spark SL Mic retails for $199.99 and can be purchased from Amazon or directly from Blue. It will also be coming to retailers around the world in the near future.
