Product Information

The Blue Dragonfly is a large diaphragm cardioid studio condenser microphone designed for vocal and general instrument studio recording. The Dragonfly features the BLUE pressure-gradient, single membrane large diaphragm capsule, using a 6-micron thick mylar film. The film is sputtered in a mixture of pure gold and aluminum and is enclosed in a rotating spherical grill. The rotating grill allows optimum mic placement when positioning for best possible sonic quality and positioning in the smallest of spaces. The microphone features Class A discrete circuitry and transformerless output. The result is clean, quiet audio signal path without any coloration or noise on output. The Dragonfly's neutral signal and wide frequency response make the microphone ideal for recording vocals, drums, percussion, electric guitar, bass, as well as "difficult" sources like saxophones and stringed instruments. The cardioid polar pattern is effective on rejecting off-axis noise due room ambiance, monitors, instruments etc.
