‘With Spark, we are excited to offer our proprietary capsule technology to a wider audience in an exceptionally versatile microphone,’ says CEO John Maier. ‘Spark is a high-quality recording tool that comes with everything needed for a truly professional recording experience at an affordable price. Even our new Focus control technology is designed to make it easy to record and get professional results right out of the box without requiring processing.’

Along with fully discrete components, the design uses a Focus control offering two sonic signatures. When selected, this claims a ‘tighter, more direct and focused sound’.

Spark uses custom-matched circuitry with the same class-A discrete components found in Blue’s line of professional microphones. The circuit design also pairs Spark’s condenser capsule with a phantom-powered outboard amplifier to drive the capsule with linear control and accuracy.

The mic comes in a high-quality wooden box, with a custom shockmount and metal pop filter. A detailed recording guide shows set-up and recording tips for a variety of instruments and vocal sounds. Spark comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty.
