BLUE Dragonfly Cardioid Condenser Microphone

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. Learn More...

Feature:
no rolloff or attenuator

Value:
overpriced...I don't care if Blue makes their own screws!

Sound:
It's pretty good on electric guitars,but please don't think of using it on vocals. It's nasty on all the singers I've tried it on.

Overall:
A mic priced at this level should work on vocals too!

Feature:
excellent built in shock mount.

Desirability:
It looks awesome too, but that doesn't help the sound.

Sound:
just compare it side by side to any other mic besides a tube mic and then compare prices. this one blows them away, on quality and price.

Support:
I agree with the others, blue always emails me back with help when I need it.

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!

Feature:
Being a mic, it did not come with accessories, but the screws that are used to hold the diaphram in place after use are a good idea for extending the life of the mic. Also, the built-in shock mount is a really nice design idea and works very well for supporting the mic.

Quality:
Nice, tight design. solid where it needs to be, light where it doesnt.

Value:
Bottom line, for the money you pay you get 20x the mic! This is an outstanding piece of equipment.

Desirability:
Many people say that with a BLUE mic your paying for the name, which is true to some degree. the BLUE mics all have unique design and are very "collectable".

Sound:
This Mic has a wonderful silkiness and accuracy about it. Especially for wind instruments and hand percussion. Though I have yet to throw something at it that it didn't caprture exceptionally well. It out performed mics with a much larger price tag.

Support:
n/a

Overall:
Until i can afford a $2500.00 mic, the Dragonfly more the fits my needs for a great overall recording mic. Great, flat responce, wonderful range... not much more to be said.
