ongratulations on your purchase of the the BLUE Mouse,
a classic modern microphone made the old-fashioned way,
without compromise. The unique rotating capsule (also
utilized on the the BLUE Dragonfly) makes this one of the
most versatile and snazzy-looking mics you’ll ever lay eyes
on. And beneath the handsome exterior, you’ll find that
the Mouse is a precision recording tool, combining the low
noise and superb transient response of top-grade modern
electronics with the crisp, airy high end magic of legendary
vintage vocal mics. In order to familiarize yourself with
this microphone’s specialized and unique features, please
take the time to read this manual, and be sure to try the
suggested recording tips.
The Mouse is a pressure-gradient cardioid condenser micro-
phone, employing the BLUE single-membrane, factory-tuned
large diaphragm capsule. For this hand-crafted diaphragm
we have selected a 6-micron mylar film, sputtered with a
mixture of pure gold and aluminum, and tensioned to our
own hand-built brass backplates. Enclosed within a rotat-
ing spherical grille, the capsule can be positioned and
adjusted in the smallest of spaces. This innovative design
offers fine-tuning and precise placement to please the
most discerning recordist, combined with an ease of use
that is without equal among either vintage or contempo-
rary microphones.
