"Affordable work of art that sounds as good as it looks!"

Feature:
Integrated shock mount saves you from having to buy one. Head can be rotated many degrees for flexible placement.

Quality:
Please - B.L.U.E. makes their own screws! Let alone the grill quality, the box and contact quality, etc...

Value:
With the recent drop to the $800 range, this is a better value than when they first hit the market.

Sound:
When you find the right place for it, it's one of the best guitar amp mics you will EVER find.

Support:
Who are these JERKS who put a "1" for customer support? Did you ever call B.L.U.E.??? You probably have a phone that say's Fisher Price on it, because I have the dog gone CELL numbers of some of the guys there in case I have problems. Try that with some of the other mic vendors - I dare you!

"FANTASTIC!!!!"

Feature:

Quality:
What can you say about Blue products? Great quality.

I can't believe the mic sells at the price that it does. However, that was yet another deciding factor for my purchase.

Desirability:
I have it!!!!

Sound:
Extremely silky mic with fantastic character. I highly recommend this microphone. I mainly use it for vox and accoustic instuments.

Ease of Use:
Truly easy to set up.

Support:
Have not had a need.

Overall:
I am getting at least two more of these mics. I expect to use them until I die.

News
In the 1960's Mohammed Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, boasted he "Floats like a butterfly, stings like bee." BLUE's knockout punch microphone, the Dragonfly, is best described by this famous statement. Complete with an integrated elastic shockmount, this class A discrete, transformerless microphone offers a rotating capsule grill that can be positioned in the most difficult of areas. Countless hours of research and development were spent to test and select the most suitable active and passive components. This no compromises process, can assure the low noise, high dynamic range and unappreciable distortion of the microphone circuitry. The end-result gives the Dragonfly complete sonic neutral electronics with low-output impedance and no side effects from the cable capacitance and load impedance. This way only the capsule determines the sound. The Dragonfly incorporates the BLUE handcrafted 1 in. active diameter capsule. For this diaphragm they have selected a 6 micron mylar film which has been sputtered with a special mixture of pure gold and aluminum. The capsule operating principle is a pressure gradient with the pickup pattern being cardioid. The Dragonfly is packaged in an attractive linen box.
