Kiwi is Blue's flagship multi-pattern FET microphone, and defines the pinnacle of modern vocal and instrument recording. Born from Blue's legacy of inimitable design and innovation, Kiwi delivers a world-class vocal sound to inspire once-in-a-lifetime performances. Nine selectable polar patterns provide unlimited creative freedom for any recording session. And the sound-shimmery, elegant top end with articulate midrange and full-bodied low end-has Kiwi winning out against the most revered vintage mics when it comes to capturing world-class vocal tracks.
With nine distinct polar patterns to choose from, Kiwi's tone can be adapted to any recording environment and application. Capture the ultimate "big" vocal performance. Record multiple vocalists at once. Experiment with unconventional vocal treatments, or capture a present vocal and room sound simultaneously. Each pattern allows you to fine-tune the timbre and directionality of the Kiwi for endless creative options. Just toggle between Cardioid, Omni, Figure of 8, and everything in between to find which pattern best suits your application.
