Founded in 1995 by Skipper Wise and Martins Saulespurens, Blue has grown from a desire to create a few hand-built mics for fellow musicians into a unique, multi-faceted audio company with a prestigious line of award-winning microphones and accessories. Headquartered in Westlake Village, California and with engineering and manufacturing facilities in Latvia, Blue Microphones continues to grow and lead the way with cutting-edge design and technological innovation in the field of recording. Current projects include the building of a state-of-the-art recording and training facility and capsule testing area located at company headquarters in Southern California.
Having been very impressed by Blue, we have forged a relationship with them
and asked if they would willing put up their microphones for review and shoot-outs.
Confident in their quality and the performance of their mics, they basically
said, “bring it on”.
The first video is a mic shoot-out between Blue’s BOTTLE and Don
Felder’s (the Eagles from 1974–1980 and from 1994–2001) C-12 microphone. This 7-minute
video will provide an opportunity for you to listen to these two mics go at
each other on both an acoustic and electric guitar.
