In our continuing showcase of portable electronic devices from Apogee Electronics, we are looking at the Mac and iOS compatible condenser microphone dubbed Apogee MiC. MiC has all the professional sound quality you can come to expect from an Apogee product, but with a portable size and competitive price point that make it an ideal option for the guy or gal with on the go audio needs. We reviewed the Apogee MiC last year when it first arrived and not much has changed from what we saw then. As with the Apogee JAM, the only major difference on the Apogee MiC is the ability to connect it to new generation iOS devices like the iPhone 5 and the latest iPad tablet. Although there are not any new features, there is still plenty to be excited about with this microphone. It can fit in your pocket but it also has a rugged build quality to withstand some abuse. The big stand out feature here are the analog to digital converters on the MiC and also all of the Apogee iOS devices. They sound great and if you want an example of the MiC's sound quality, just give the video above a listen. The MiC has a multi colored LED light to indicate that you are connected (blue), that you are ready top record (amber), and when you are clipping (red). On the side of the device is a knob for adjusting your gain level. Included with the Apogee MiC is a mini tripod for mounting the microphone and placing it in a position that fits your recording needs. You have the option of acquiring additional accessories with the Apogee MiC which includes a carrying case, a microphone stand adaptor, a 3 meter USB cable, and a 3 meter 30-pin iOS cable. These accessories are great additions to the MiC including the microphone stand adaptor so you are not always tied to the rather limited range of the included mini tripod.

Founded in 1995, Blue Microphones has become one of the leading manufacturers of studio quality condenser microphones and microphone technologies. In addition to having some of the most popular condenser microphones on the market, they also developed one of the first HD microphones for the iPod and iPhone with the Blue Mikey. Blue Microphones tout their microphone technology as, "perfectly situated to take advantage of today's increased digital bandwidths. Or to put it simply: the perfect analog devices for the digital age." This is a welcomed mantra in an age when most everybody is recording into some type of digital medium. Blue Microphones are certainly built for the 21st century recording environment, but that doesn't mean they fall short at all in terms of performance and quality. I myself have owned a Baby Bottle condenser microphone for years and it is still my go to microphone for vocals. Let's take a look at three microphones from Blue: the Baby Bottle, Bluebird, and Spark, and compare the features of each so you can decide which one is best for you.

Baby Bottle

A great, flat-response microphone best suited for vocals.   The Baby Bottle has been around for quite a while. In fact it debuted in stores sometime at the end of 2002 and I remember buying it around that time because it was new and had an interesting look to it. Little did I know that this would be a condenser microphone I have kept in my arsenal for years to come and I'll tell you why. The Baby Bottle has a high gain output but with very little noise. This is why it's so great for vocalists. You can have the most delicate of singer come in and you are not left having to do some wonky gain staging or even worse: a bunch of automation during the mixing stage. Sure you will always have to adjust gain per situation, but the Baby Bottle will be able to easily capture those little nuances in a singers voice with little to no noise. Another great feature of the Baby Bottle is the ability to change capsules. Blue offers nine different types of capsules cleverly dubbed "Bottle Caps." They run the gamut from the large diaphragm cardioid to a small diaphragm, sphere pressure, omni-directional capsule. While in my opinion the Baby Bottle is best suited for vocals, you can certainly use it for instruments and folks have championed its ability to capture instruments well. While I don't disagree with this, in my personal experience I found it best suited for vocals when being used as a close mic. As an ambient room microphone, the Baby Bottle performs exceptionally well.

Bluebird

An all purpose microphone that's great for vocals as well as instruments. Released in 2005, the Bluebird is very similar in design and construction to the Baby Bottle. The difference here is that the Bluebird was designed to be an all-purpose condenser microphone. So unlike previous models that had more specific recording applications, the Bluebird is going to be a great microphone for instruments, vocals, or anything else you want to record. This is because the design of the microphone was built for close mic situations so you can get an accurate bass response from whatever you are recording.

When it comes to vocals, the Bluebird might be a better fit for vocalists with a much more aggressive style and presence. That's not to say that more delicate singers won't cut through, but something like the Baby Bottle might be able to pick up those subtle nuances in a way that the Bluebird might not achieve. The Bluebird has a nice, well-rounded bass response and although this microphone is marketed as having a cardioid pickup pattern, it's actually closer to a hypercardioid polar response. If you are looking for a quality condenser microphone for multiple applications, the Bluebird should be at the top of your list. The Bluebird comes with a shock mount and pop filter so you can get recording right out of the box.
