(More customer reviews)It is rare when something lives up to the hype surrounding it. This mic does indeed live up to the hype.
After using condenser mics to record spoken word, I was skeptical that a dynamic mic could deliver good quality voice unless you paid an outrageous amount of money. This one does deliver. What is even more surprising, for the first test, I ran the mic direct into a mini digital recorder, Tascam DR07, and got outstanding results. No EQ, no preamp, just straight in. What's more, this was tested outside the studio, in an open room, and I did not pick up any ambient noise.
The raw feed from this mic delivers a rich fat sound favoring deeper voices. Without any preamp, I had to be closer than I am used to with the condenser mics I've been using, but the freedom to operate without any external phantom power makes up for that. The vocals came through very clear and without obvious pops from plosives.
BLUE mics have a rock solid reputation and I think this mic will only server to enhance it. Speaking of rock solid, wait until you feel the heft of this in your hand! Real solid! Previously, I used either AKG C900 or AKG C1000 for non-studio recording. No more. The enCore 200 is now my preferred microphone for these tasks. In addition to sounding better, there's less equipment to carry to power the mic.
