B.L.U.E.'s top-of-the-line, solid-state microphone! The Kiwi is a multipattern studio condenser mic with a world-class performance all its own - it looks and sounds like no other mic. Capsule patterns feature cardioid, figure 8, omni, and selections in between for a total of nine different choices. Though it's great for a wide number of recording applications, the Kiwi is really sweet on vocals, adding punch, clarity and a unique low-end warmth on both spoken and singing tracks. It includes "The Shock," a robust shock-mount.
