Blue Microphone Baby Bottle Description
Following in the footsteps of our acclaimed tube Bottle mic system, the Baby Bottle is truly a chip off the old block. Each and every part of this solid-state, class A discrete condenser has been hand selected to insure nothing short of a stellar performance. Enclosed in a Lollipop spherical grille is a precision-machined, gold-sputtered capsule with a fixed cardioid pattern. In the tradition of our award-winning microphones, the Baby Bottle employs the styling, attention to detail, and hand-crafted quality for which Blue has become famous.
The Baby Bottle is ideal for recording vocals, percussion or any acoustic instrument, and ZenPro Audio includes the custom shockmount and pop filter. The mic comes nestled inside a beautiful cherry-stained wood box.

BLUE Baby Bottle Review /
See
All ZenPro Audio Reviews Here: Review Page
Classic BLUE appearance with the
bottle / lollipop combo of sexy design happening, this cardioid patterned large
diaphragm condenser delivers a focused sound and can handle high SPL sources
with no issues.
The Baby Bottle is a midrange
focused sound, very detailed across the center, and a fairly steep roll off of
the high end but only in the extreme registers. It’s kind of the “anti-air”
sound, not dull or overly dark, but just not a very open sound. One of the few
mics that can rock on electric guitar cabs, and acoustic guitars and deliver on
both. The bottom end response is controlled and full without being too big, it
can be worked fairly close without too much proximity effect. On vocals, again
it delivers a more mid focused sound that is kind of closed on top.
Drums are punchy and natural, if a bit "woody" sounding.
Conclusion: A specific sounding mic
that fills a need, when you need a midrange detail without bright, airy or
spike-y top end, the Baby Bottle is the one to grab.
