Information
Sound on Sound says: The Baby Bottle is claimed to be ideal for recording vocals, percussion, or any acoustic instruments — and I feel happy to go along with that. It seems to be a very 'crisp' microphone, handling transients well on percussion and acoustic guitar, for example. The slightly emphasised presence region means that the mic needs to be positioned and angled carefully if the source is not to sound too hard or edgy, but, conversely, sources did tend to work well within a mix, cutting through cleanly. I found the mic to be a little too fierce on close-miked woodwind, although a more distant placement in a nice acoustic worked extremely well. Despite the simple stand bracket, the Baby Bottle seemed very resistant to rumble and handling noises. In comparison with the slightly more expensive Neumann TLM103, I found the Baby Bottle to be about 4dB less sensitive and a couple of decibels noisier — still very impressive results, though! While the BLUE definitely has more 'presence' than the Neumann, it also seemed to have a little less 'air' and openness, although you would only become aware of this subtle difference in a head-to-head comparison. Despite its comparatively low price, the Baby Bottle retains all the essential and desirable qualities of its more up-market siblings. If you are in the market for a good, general-purpose large-diaphragm cardioid mic, and you want something that stands out from the crowd, I would recommend the BLUE Baby Bottle without hesitation.
