Why We Love This Product!

Pure, Rich Vintage Mic Tone!

The BLUE Bottle Rocket Stage 1 is a transformerless Class A microphone with a sound all its own. It comes with a B8 capsule - the same capsule used in Blue's popular Bluebird - plus the custom shockmount and an ATA-style flight case. Awesome for recording vocals, electric guitars, acoustic guitars, strings, drums, woodwinds, and more, you get impressive versatility and, naturally, impeccable BLUE quality with the Bottle Rocket Stage 1. Fully compatible with Bottle Caps, BLUE's interchangable capsule rig, you can add an array of tonal characteristics and pickup patterns to your BLUE Bottle Rocket Stage 1!

    • Low self-noise
    • Compatible with BLUE Bottle Caps

Awesome for recording a bunch of sources
With the BLUE Bottle Rocket Stage 1 in your microphone closet, you can rest assured - you've got an incredibly versatile microphone, ready to tackle nearly any source. On vocals, you can get a "big" vocal sound, without worrying about overloading the microphone, an incredible clean guitar sound on your electric amp, and a well-suited shimmering high-end on acoustics! With its natural highs and soft midrange characteristics, your Type B can handle nearly any member of the bowed string family, and its extended high end delivers a modern tonality when miking saxophones and other wind instruments!

Compatible with BLUE Bottle Caps
Expanding the possibilities of your BLUE Bottle Rocket Stage 1, this microphone is fully compatible with BLUE's famous Bottle Caps, letting you interchange your capsules. Enjoy a new tonal range as you try out larger or smaller diaphragm capsules with varying pickups patterns on different sources.

Low self-noise
The Bottle Rocket Stage 1 has a totally low self noise specification - less than 7.5dB - and a completely high out level at +12dBV, making it a amazing choice for the high sample rate/deep word length digital platforms of today. Instead of using integrated circuits or chips, the Stage 1 uses a transformerless Class A discrete amp circuit, giving it the most accurate, nose-free signal possible.
