Blue Microphones Bottle Rocket Stage One with Interchangeable Capsules

Ready for Launch

Bottle Rocket Stage One includes the B8 large-diaphragm cardioid condenser Bottle Cap. Its mission: total recording versatility. The B8 capsule is a hotrod version of one of the world's most legendary condenser capsules. But unlike its predecessor, which was lacking in mids, B8 is tuned for a lush midrange with a gorgeous lift around 5kHz and a smooth cut around 8kHz. It's perfect for capturing a wide variety of sound sources with stunning detail—including lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, drums, percussion, horns and strings.

All the Right Stuff

Bottle Rocket Stage One is designed and hand-built in the USA for a lifetime of use. It features very low self-noise (<7.5dB), exceptionally high output (+12dBV), and a proprietary transformerless Class A FET circuit that delivers the most accurate, noise-free signal available. It even comes with a spider mount and flight case.

Interchangeable Capsules

Bottle Caps are a system of interchangeable capsules that provide a variety of tonal ranges, characters, diaphragm sizes and polar patterns for total recording versatility. Big vocal sounds. Vintage and modern sounds. Delicate, accurate reproduction. Different patterns. All in a single microphone. And the quick-change connection makes experimenting with new sounds fast and easy.
