Blue Microphone Spark Digital Condenser Microphone With USB/iPad
Connections
Key Features Interface - Apple 30-pin, USB 2.0+ Frequency Response - 26Hz-20kHz Sensitivity - 28 mV/Pa S/N Ratio - 84dB Noise Level - 10dB (A-weighted) Spark Digital is the worlds first studio-grade condenser microphone to offer both USB and iPad connectivity. Expanding on the professional and sound of Blues Spark XLR studio microphone, Spark Digital features the same studio-grade condenser capsule and hand-tuned components for high-fidelity recording and consistence performance in any situation– vocals, drums, piano, speech, location recording and more. Spark Digital also includes the Focus Control, providing two different sonic options in one mic at the push of a button. Complete with an adjustable desk stand and built-in shockmount, Spark Digital also includes y-cables for
each platform with a headphone jack for zero-latency real-time monitoring. With a full range of recording capabilities, Spark Digital turns your iPad into a true mobile studio. Technology Blues legendary studio condenser capsule and electronic components Plug n play for iPad, Mac and PC – no drivers needed Works with GarageBand™ and other recording applications Focus Control switch offers two sonic signatures in one mic Headphone jack for zero-latency real-time monitoring Onboard control for volume, gain and instant mute LED meter provides visual feedback Includes Blues Cloud Production Bundle for audio back-up and sharing online The Focus Control provides two different usage modes: the Normal mode (off position) providing increased low frequency sensitivity for recordings
with great impact and definition, along with the Focus mode (on position) for even greater clarity and detail. The Focus Control functions differently than a standard high-pass or low-pass filter - it changes the input driver of the capsule rather than the signal output of the microphone circuit. This avoids coloring or degrading the signal quality coming out of the Spark microphone like low or high pass filters can. Specifically, the Focus Control alters the voltage loading of the capsule, which alters the capsules dynamic frequency response, changing the capsules behavior in a way thats more nuanced than a standard filter acting on a microphones output. The result is a change to Sparks frequency response curve as well as the dynamic properties of the capsule (response to transients),
providing two different mic characteristics. Spark Digital works with most all popular iOS Recording Apps Spark Digital is instantly recognized for use with any audio or video application. To fully benefit from the quality Spark Digital offers, we recommend using a high-quality recording app like one of those listed below, since Apples built-in Voice Memos app records at a lower bit rate. Heres a list of some of the most popular recording apps in the app store. FiRE 2.0 GarageBand Jammit MultiTrack DAW Music Studio ite StudioMini Recording Studio SunVox TwistedWave Audio Editor Blue Microphone Blue Microphones was founded in 1995 to improve the front-end of audio recording by utilizing the increased bandwidth benefits enabled by digital technology. Advances in digital processing (e.g.
extended frequency response, dynamic range, project recording capability) fundamentally changed the recording process as well as the potential for microphone performance. Basing many of their concepts, designs, and technology on knowledge gleaned from years of repairing and improving classic microphones from a wide variety of manufacturers, but by simultaneously integrating new technologies, materials and a first-hand knowledge of todays recording process, Blue began to pioneer the perfect analog input devices for the digital age. Starting with state-of-the-art technology that ensures the purest possible signal path and Class A fully discrete circuitry with no ICs, pads, or filters, each microphone is designed to fill a specific role in a recording repertoire. Every single design
contains its own propriety capsule that is hand-tested and approved to capture specific sonic signatures in specific ways. The first proprietary design, the Blueberry (Electronic Musician 2000 Editors Choice Microphone of the Year) was designed and engineered at the behest of John Gass, a Grammy award-winning engineer/mixer, who asked Blue if it was possible to create a contemporary pop vocal mic that also substantially eliminated the need to spend hours "EQing" or over-processing the signal source. The Blueberrys success led to future Blue designs that focused solely on delivering the best possible reproduction of specific vocal or instrument types. The result is a portfolio of professional microphones that create a palette of sounds, enabling artists to realize the sonic
landscape of their vision. At the turn of the millennium, after receiving an early version of Apples software program GarageBandTM, the team at Blue realized that project studio recording presented the next revolution of the recording industry. Believing that the lack of a high-quality USB microphone to protect the signal source would slow down this revolution, Blue developed the Snowball, now the 1 selling wired condenser microphone in the world. Throughout the development process, the Snowball was designed specifically with musicians in mind; however, people very quickly began to adopt the product for consumer applications, such as podcasting, chat, and narration. Out of this, Blues line of consumer audio products was born, solidifying Blues belief that everyone, everywhere
should have access to great audio. Blue is 100% committed to getting the very best microphones in the world into the hands of those who have a passion for high quality audio; this is our heritage and will always be the core focus of everything we do. We also realize that great sound enhances every environment, and for this reason Blue has leveraged its pro-audio DNA to launch a line of products catering to life outside the studio. These include high-quality USB products for both Mac and PC, iPod accessories, and an XLR-to-USB converter that allows everyone to take advantage of the quality and performance inherent in every Blue microphone on their computer. From the uncompromising and revolutionary Bottle to the HD audio/video Eyeball webcam, every product reflects Blues rare expertise
and inimitable design sense. We encourage you to audition each Blue microphone to discover the ideal sonic character for your audio needs.
