BLUE Mouse Review /

Featuring a rotating capsule for
easy positioning, this cardioid large diaphragm condenser mic looks like a
little canister with mouse ears…! It has a Class A solid state circuit, but
also a transformer output for some low end character that the Mouse is known
for.
Originally designed as a condenser
mic for kick drums, the Mouse excels at delivering low end information in a big
but controlled way. It really does an excellent job on kick drum, bass cabs,
bass heavy orchestral instruments and more. For voice, in particular voice over
artist work, the Mouse gives you that BIG sound and still allows you to work
the mic closely for some intimate detail. You voice over guys should check out
the Mouse for sure! It’s not a super open and airy sound, it gently rolls off
in the extreme upper registers.
Conclusion: Voice work it’s a no
brainer, outer kick drum mic surprisingly it will stomp a mud hole there as
well. One of the more specific sounding BLUE mics, but for bass instruments and
voice artists I think you may just find your match with the Mouse.
