The Best Microphone in the Industry

Those of you who know me professionally probably know I'm a huge fan of Blue Microphones.  A lot of people ask me why, though.

WHY?!

Because they're the best.

Asking me why I only use Blue Microphones would be like asking me why I only buy Apple Products.

Because they work.

The Blue enCORE100

Here's why:

1. It sounds good.  Not only does it sound good, it sounds better than any other dynamic microphone I've ever used.  It beats out the SM57 & SM58 on every sound test and it continuously stacks up against some of the best condensers I use for Location Recording, including the Rode NT2000.
2. It's robust.  This microphone FEELS strong.  Not only does it have a reinforced steel ring around the windscreen, it's constructed out of 100% metal in one large piece, unlike our friends over at Shure who have a body with multiple pieces, including a large plastic section.
3. It's beautiful. The microphone is simply gorgeous.  Pinned next to any other dynamic microphone on the planet, I can guarantee that the enCORE100 will win every appearance test out there.

is the best microphone on the market.

They work better than any other microphone on the market, and they've never failed me.  Blue Microphones have been with me through countless jobs at churches and festivals, have been thrown in the mud, used in the rain, abused by mic drop after mic drop - and not only do they still work, but they sound better than 90% of the other microphones on the market.

Who should buy it?

Blue is currently offering the enCORE100 series on a BOGO sale (buy-one-get-one).  The enCORE100 is being sold at $100, the same price as the Shure SM58, but with the buy-one-get-one, you're only paying $50 per microphone! Blue is doing this in their attempt to conquer the market.  Last December, I swapped out all twelve of my 58's for the enCORE100 and my six 57's for enCORE100i microphones on the BOGO sale.

Everyone needs a pair of enCORE100's.  They're great for everything from live to recorded vocals, voiceovers and even instrument micing.  There's nothing else on that market that can compare to the universal abilities of the Blue enCORE100.
