The new enCORE series microphones are "the result of years of research designed to bring Blue's legendary studio sound to the stage, starting with their exclusive Aria Capsule". Every element of the Aria Capsule is precisely matched and tuned to achieve a detailed and clear sound. To protect the capsule, the enCORE Series feature the thickest steel grills on the market along with an oversized reinforcement ring. Further adding to their ruggedness are heavy, precision-machined cast-zinc bodies, which have been tested to perform uniformly after dropping, throwing, and even being run over by a seven-ton truck.
When asked about the new enCORE line, Skipper Wise, one of the founders of Blue Microphones said, "We've always focused our microphones on the artist and their needs and applications. It's only natural that we would follow them out of the studio and on the road with a product that will give them that great Blue sound every night on stage."
The enCORE 100 is a studio-grade dynamic microphone featuring Blue's custom-tuned Aria dynamic capsule. This is a go anywhere, do anything mic that offers vocalists and musicians versatility in a rugged package.
The enCORE 200 adds Blue's Active Dynamic circuitry and output transformer, coupling the ruggedness and high SPL handling of a dynamic mic with the consistency and low noise of a phantom powered mic. This approach builds upon a proven Blue technology first made popular by the company's Ball Series microphones.
The enCore 300 is the flagship of the series and offers vocalists "uncompromised performance featuring a hand-selected Blue ARIA condenser capsule with a matched pre-amp and phantom power circuit, a tuned enclosure, and Blue's proprietary reinforced chassis, which controls airflow around the capsule for unparalleled vocal control and a natural, open sound, no matter how the artist holds the microphone".
enCORE microphones recently made their professional stage debut and are already the mic of choice in notable music clubs such as The Highline Ballroom, The Viper Room and The Troubadour in Los Angeles.
