YOUR PAD OR MINE?

With USB and iOS connectivity, Spark Digital effortlessly integrates with Mac, PC, iPhone and iPad so you can record wherever you are. Its one small step for Blue, and one giant leap for mic-kind.

If you wanna get technical
Spark Digitals analog electronics are Class A and fully discrete with a transformerless output. Simply put, this means that the sound which arrives at the diaphragm (mic capsule) is converted to electrical energy (transduced) is then amplified as accurately as possible, with minimal coloration and absolutely no integrated circuits (also known as ICs) in the signal path. Integrated circuits, by the way, are smaller and inexpensive versions of large discrete components that talk a big game but really dont perform quite as well.
The engineers at Blue take your sound seriously, so we designed Spark Digitals signal path exclusively with those high quality discrete analog components. This analog signal is then passed off to the microphones digital conversion circuitry, which converts the analog signal to digital data that can be understood by computers or iPads/iPhones. This allows complete control of the sound quality and conversion process before entering your computer. The individual differences may be subtle, but when added up its a difference you can appreciate. As a result, we think youll find Spark Digitals overall sonic character is superbly detailed and pleasing to the ear, a microphone with truly professional sound.

GET THE SOUND AND FLEXIBILITY OF TWO MICS IN ONE
Why settle for one mic when you can have two with Spark Digital? Focus Control changes the capsule voltage and completely alters the sonic character of the micgiving you the sound of two mics in one. Normal mode heightens low-frequency sensitivity for robust, defined bottom end, while Focused mode accentuates mids and highs for ultra clear, detailed recordings. Switch between them to suit the vibe of your recording and create intricately layered tracks.
