The Blue enCORE 100i microphone uses a special dynamic capsule with a custom-tuned diaphragm designed specifically to provide a tighter polar pattern. This makes the Blue enCORE mic perfect for miking instruments and other sources requiring high isolation. A custom circuit with transformer and high-pass filter optimizes frequency response for use with drums and amplified instruments and vocals. A specially designed grille provides protection from instrument strikes and facilitates mounting in tight spaces, making the Blue en•CORE 100i a versatile addition to the en•CORE family of Blue microphones.Studio-grade dynamic instrument microphone Specially designed and tuned capsule with custom diaphragm, venting design, and coil windings Custom-tuned acoustic circuit with transformer and high-pass filter Tuned-volume, low-profile grille with integrated vents Rugged construction with reinforced grille and integrated guard ring to protect against instrument hits Bright chrome unibody grille with laser-engraving & custom-painted logo Matte gray, smooth finish barrel for low-profile mounting Includes soft-grip microphone clip and soft-lined storage pouch
