spine-tingling
Congratulations on your purchase of the Blue Cactus,
a premium large-diaphragm, multi-pattern tube microphone made
the old-fashioned way, without compromise. In the tradition of the
world’s best (and most expensive) vintage vocal microphones,
the Cactus has been designed to provide commanding, intimate
presence and larger-than-life detail in a wide variety of profes-
sional recording applications.
At a distance, and in omnidirectional and figure of eight patterns,
this microphone delivers every nuance in the room, with finely fo-
cused resolution and clear, musical frequency response out to the
extremes of the audible spectrum. But this is also a Cactus you’ll
definitely want to get close to! With its detailed highs, smooth
midrange, and minimized proximity effect (a bass boost inherent
in all unidirectional mics), the cardioid Cactus excels at delivering
a vocal or solo track right to the front of the mix where it belongs.
When processed with limiting and/or compression, as is standard
practice for most pop vocals, tracks recorded with the Cactus will
be free of pumping and low end thumps.
