Upgrade your live vocals with this phantom-powered dynamic microphone! The enCORE 200 delivers BLUE-quality performance with exceptional detail and clarity.

The Blue enCORE 200 dynamic vocal microphone brings studio-grade audio capture to the stage, with a unique "active dynamic" design that utilizes phantom power to deliver a hotter, more consistent signal and lower noise. This mic's Aria capsule makes it an ideal companion for vocals, with a 50 Hz - 16 kHz frequency response tailored to reproduce vocals. A discreet indicator light lets you know when phantom power is engaged, and a rugged heavy-gauge barrel with an electro-plated finish holds up well to the tests and trials of the regularly gigging musician. The enCORE 200's cardioid pattern gives you a nice directional capture, so you'll avoid feedback and unwanted bleed more easily during your performance. Whether you use it on stage or for broadcast, this microphone will add an air of sonic finesse to your vocals.

Studio-grade Vocals for the Stage

Your BLUE enCORE 200 mic offers studio-grade performance in a fashion that's suitable for live scenarios as well as recording sessions. This baby is fitted with an Aria dynamic capsule that's tuned to capture vocals from 50 Hz to 16 kHz. A maximum SPL of 147 dB SPL will assure you that your signal won't distort easily even at extremely loud levels.

Active Dynamic Phantom Power Circuit

Unlike your typical dynamic mic, the enCORE 200 is an active dynamic -- powered by +48V phantom power. There is a discreet indicator light on the barrel of this baddie to notify you when the phantom power circuit is engaged. This innovative read more active circuit keeps noise levels down and out of your signal while keeping your tone nice and consistent. An additional output transformer allows this baby to dish out surprisingly high output levels.

Rugged Design and Cool Looks

The robust heavy-gauge construction of this dynamic mic will stand up to the test of time and rigors of the road. A laser-engraved trim ring, CNC machined grip, and a cool hand-painted logo add a reminder of the craftsmanship than went into designing this awesome tool. Though the enCORE 200 is designed for vocals, there's nothing stopping you from experimenting with capturing guitars or other midrange-focused instruments during your recording sessions.

First there was a buzz but i used the ground on TC Helicon Pedal and that corrected the problem. the phantom power is awesome. we sing in church and at small venues for around 200; my wife has a very low volume voice, so this mic picks up her vocals really well; infact the harmonies were too loud for the first time! So it works for that; and it looks amazing.

Guitar; Piano; Vocals: play churches and small gigs
