The 8-Ball microphone is another member of Blue?s family of spherical mics.
But while it resembles its cousins the Ball, Kickball and Snowball, the 8-Ball
has been designed to be one cool condenser ? it?ll give new meaning to
playing ?in the pocket!?
The 8-Ball is a cardioid condenser microphone designed with the needs of the
professional recordist in mind, but priced within reach of the beginning home
user or hobbyist. Featuring Blue?s highly regarded Class A discrete low noise
amplifier circuit, The 8-Ball?s smooth frequency response is sure to please even
the most discerning professional ear. Perfect for applications as varied as drum
overheads to acoustic and electric guitars or vocals, The 8-Ball will quickly become
one of your ?go to? microphones.
A standard thread swivel mount at the base of the microphone allows the user to
pivot The 8-Ball back and forth, making mic placement a snap. And because The
8-Ball requires phantom power, a front-mounted LED confirms that the mic is ready
to use.
Hustle over to your local Blue dealer and experience The 8-Ball for yourself. Its versatility,
performance and price is your cue for adding this outstanding mic to your audio repertoire.
But do it before those annoying aliens beat you to it!

Made in Germany

Like all members of the M series, the M 88 TG is handcrafted in Germany. The materials and the precise craftsmanship that go into the microphone ultimately create a world-class product, a level of quality that turns an ordinary microphone purchase into a long-term investment.

 
Perfect for heavy bass Sources
The M 88 TG excels on the kick drum, saxophone and percussions, the result of a balanced sound profile and deep bass tones. It is a must-have for every microphone collection. And why shouldn’t it be when you consider its features? It is both insensitive to high sound pressure levels and feedback resistant thanks to its nearly perfect hypercardioid!  
Flexible tool iN The studio

The M 88 TG excels in the studio with the help of its multifaceted flexibility. No matter whether the job involves vocals, horns, guitar amplifiers or drums – the microphone is the perfect choice for the widest range of sources. It is all the result of its exceptionally broad frequency response and rich sound.

The Shure KSM141 is an end-addressed condenser microphone with mechanically switching dual polar patterns (cardioid and omnidirectional). Designed for studio use, yet rugged enough for live applications, the KSM141 can withstand extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL). Its low self-noise and extended frequency response make it ideal for recording musical instruments. Features
  • A mechanical polar pattern switch for highly consistent cardioid and true omnidirectional polar patterns. Provides flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications
  • Ultra-thin, 2.5 micron, 24 karat gold-layered, low mass Mylar? diaphragm for superior transient response
  • Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortion
  • Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors
  • Subsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17 Hz) caused by mechanical vibration
  • Three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
  • Three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
  • Three-position switchable low-frequency filter to reduce background noise and counteract proximity effect
Performance Characteristics
  • Extended frequency response
  • Low self noise
  • Exceptional reproduction of low-frequency sounds
  • Can withstand high sound pressure levels (SPL)
  • High output level
  • No crossover distortion
  • Uniform polar response
  • Superior common mode rejection and suppression of radio frequency interference
APPLICATIONS Some typical applications for the KSM141 are listed below. Microphone use, however, is a matter of personal taste. The KSM141 may be used for a variety of applications other than those listed.
  • Acoustic instruments -- such as piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings
  • Wind instruments -- brass and woodwind
  • Low frequency instruments -- such as double bass, electric bass, kick drum
  • Overhead miking -- drums or percussion
  • Ensembles -- choral or orchestral
  • Room ambiance pick-up -- guitar amplifier or drums
Both the acoustic environment and microphone placement strongly affect the sound obtained from miking a source. You may need to experiment with microphone placement and room treatments to achieve the best overall sound for each application. Suggested Applications Acoustic Guitar Acoustic Bass Cymbals Brass/Woodwinds Orchestra Ensemble Vocals Piano Strings Room Ambience Live Recording
