Plenty of iOS and USB mics claim to capture rich “ studio sound ” . Most of them absorb . Blue Microphones ’ new Spark Digital is different , and you’re able to tell just by look at it .
word of advice : This mike wo n’t magically make you a right musician or singer . But it will make you sound like you , and not some over - process , phony version of you . In other words , it will make you vocalize as good as you are .
The Spark Digital mic is based on the parallel version of the Blue Spark turn last year . You wo n’t know the departure until you flip it over and see a mini - USB diddlysquat where you ’d wait to see XLR prongs . The mic can connecct either to software on your computing gadget — Garageband will go — or to the countless multi - track transcription apps for iOS via 30 - tholepin connector .
But beyond its visual aspect , the important similiarity between the Spark and the Spark Digital are its guts . Blue ’s condenser mike are some of the most extremely - covet out there because of the craftsmanship and care to detail that goes into construct each one . Take for example the Spark Digital ’s “ Focus On ” replacement . Flip it , and the mike ’s condenser capsule physically contracts so that it captures sound from a more pinpointed area . It ’s not an effect created by some shoddy digital processing algorithm . The space capsule in reality physically shrinks . That ’s better , because , you know , physics .
dispirited ’s line of USB podcasting mics including the Yeti and the Snowball , are some of the best we ’ve ever used . We have n’t test Blue ’ Spark Digital yet , but we ’re mad to plug in and turn up when it ’s available this Spring for $ 199 .
