Information

Sound on Sound says: I have used the Baby Bottle quite a lot over the last year or so, but find its rather forward upper mid-range is the determining factor over the sources I can use it with. For harder rock-style vocals it can be great, but I often find it a little too aggressive sounding for gentler vocalists or most instrumentalists — although it can work very well to give acoustic guitars just the right edge to cut through in a complex mix. In contrast, the Bluebird sounds smoother through the mid-range and upper mid-range, but with a sparkly brightness towards the top of the spectrum that implies more detail, air, and resolution than is really there. It works well though, and has a crispness and clarity that suits most music genres. Vocalists who sounded too hard or fierce on the Baby Bottle were far more natural on the Bluebird, and despite the falling bass response shown on the frequency plot in the handbook, the bottom end was actually nicely rounded and full, being well balanced to the rest of the sound spectrum. The pop screen works well, and everyone who saw the mic loved the way it looked with the screen attached. I also tried the Bluebird on a clarinet and a sax, obtaining nice crisp results from both, and as an overall mic above a percussionist it delivered clear detailed transients that sat nicely in the mix. In this last application, the relatively distant placement above the percussionist's hands resulted in a weakened bass response which undoubtedly helped by reducing any tendency towards muddiness from other instrument spill.
