Blue Microphones Encore 100 and 200

<< < (2/2)

Craig Leerman:
Thanks for a thorough review Dan!

I know what you mean about the copper looking grill. I showed the mic to a few folks and about 1/2 think it looks cool (me included) and about 1/2 do not like the look. I may buy one just for my collection because of the different looking grill.


If anybody else would like to get a chance to use the 3 mics, shoot me a PM here and I can set that up.

I've gone back and forth on how I feel about the appearance (even a little bit since writing my review).  I do appreciate the fact that they tried to do something different instead of copying the appearance of the competitors' mics.  I guess I feel like when looking at them outside of the context of the stage they look good.  They just "sparkle" a little too much on stage.  I don't want the microphone to distract from the performance.  And I don't want to have to deal with any resistance from the musos because of the appearance.  The silver color of the Encore 100 seems a little safer with the musos in my opinion.
