This frequency chart of the Bluebird capsule is only a start. It gives the recordist a basis of the sound provided. How the microphone reacts in a particular

application will differ greatly because of many variables. Room acoustics, distance from sound source (proximity), tuning of the instrument and

microphone cabling are only a few of the interacting issues. For an artist or engineer, how the microphones are used creates the basis of the sound.

The Bluebird is a pressure gradient large diaphragm

condenser which employs an edge-terminated 6µ pure

gold-sputtered mylar capsule membrane. Enclosed within

its unique grille, the side-address capsule can be positioned

in the smallest of spaces for very precise placement.

Please note that unlike some Blue microphones, the

Bluebird capsule is not designed to be removed or to

rotate, swivel, or move in any direction.

Bluebird Capsule Polar Response

Compared to similar microphones, the Bluebird has a very

low self noise specification (>7.5dB) and an very high

output level (+12dBV), making it the perfect choice for

today's high sample rate/deep word length digital plat-

forms. Instead of integrated circuits (chips), the Bluebird

employs a transformerless Class A discrete amplifier circuit

to insure the most accurate and noise-free signal possible,

with minimal distortion and coloration. What you hear at

the input is what you get at the output. The Bluebird's

tonal character makes it an ideal microphone for recording

vocals, drums, electric guitar, piano, and most acoustic

instruments including difficult sources like saxophones,

flutes, and strings.

The Bluebird Accessory Pak includes the BirdCage (shock-

Bluebird Capsule Frequency Response

mount), BirdNest (pop filter), and Blueberry microphone

cable. The shock is designed to isolate the microphone

body from low frequency resonance (rumble), the pop filter

helps to eliminate sibilance and plosive sounds when

used with vocals, and the 22-AWG Blueberry cable is

designed to provide the best possible signal transmission

from microphone output to preamp input. Please note:

Forceful positioning of the shock mount without loosen-

ing the thumbscrew can result in damage not covered

by warranty.

The Bluebird requires +48V phantom power, which is

provided by most mic preamps and mixing consoles. If

your preamp or console input does not provide phantom

power, you will need to purchase a separate +48V power

supply. It is important to note that some units, though

rated at +48V, may supply insufficient or unstable

phantom power, which can result in distortion and/or

degraded performance when used with a condenser

microphone. Because of this, we have designed the

Bluebird to deliver outstanding performance with a

power supply as low as +35V!

To avoid damage to audio components when connecting

the Bluebird to your microphone input, we recommend

the following procedure:

• Set mic preamp gain to its nominal position ("off").

• Mute console master, stage monitor and mains feeds,

headphones or foldback sends, and studio monitors.

• Connect the female end of your balanced XLR micro-

phone cable to the Bluebird's output jack. Connect the

male end to your balanced console input or balanced

mic preamp input.

• Switch on phantom power.

• Un-mute all previously muted signal paths and adjust

mic preamp gain as necessary.

Once the Bluebird is on the stand and powered up, make sure

that the active, on-axis side of the capsule (the side aligned

with and directly above the Blue logo) is facing the desired

source. The Bluebird is a cardioid mic, and is designed to

reject off-axis sound arriving at the back of the capsule.
