Born in the studio, Spark Digital is the first true studio microphone for iPad and Mac/PC and now available with Lightning cable
(Westlake Village, CA – December 19, 2013) - Blue Microphones, a leading innovator in microphone technology and design, now offers a Lightning connection for Spark Digital (www.bluemic.com/sparkdigital), the first true studio microphone for iPad, iPhone and Mac/PC. The digital version of Blue’s renowned analog Spark microphone, Spark Digital records professional-quality audio to any iOS device or any computer, laptop or tablet with USB input. Get professional recordings of podcasts, vocals, guitar, instruments, voiceover and more. Spark Digital (MSRP $199.99) with the Lightning cable is available now at Amazon.com and coming soon to Guitar Center and Musician’s Friend.
“Spark Digital was first born in the pro studio, as our Spark analog microphone. Spark Digital delivers the same recording quality proven in the studios, but is now the missing link for achieving truly professional results digitally,” said John Maier, CEO of Blue Microphones. “Bridging the gap between analog quality and digital portability, Spark Digital completes the true mobile studio.”
Taking mobile recording to the professional level, Spark Digital features the same studio-grade condenser capsule and hand-selected components as the original, analog Spark, for high-fidelity recording and consistent performance in any situation. Spark Digital also delivers the same detailed audio found in the original Spark, making it ideal for a wide range of situations: vocals, guitar, drums, podcasts, piano, location recording and more. Spark Digital also features studio controls directly on the microphone including volume and gain control, and instant mute. In addition, Spark Digital is the only iPad microphone to offer a zero-latency headphone out for direct monitoring, critical for eliminating distracting delay or for creating professional multi-track recordings where new tracks need to be synced with existing tracks.
Spark Digital also employs a feature found only on the original Spark: the Focus control, providing two different sonic options in one mic. ‘Focus Off’ captures crisp, powerful audio with enhanced low frequency sensitivity for recordings with greater impact and definition, and ‘Focus On’ captures greater clarity and detail for a tighter, more focused sound. For the recording novice, the Focus control provides the freedom to experiment with different sonic signatures in one mic, while providing the experienced recordist with versatile options.
Spark Digital comes with a custom angle-adjustable desk stand with built-in shockmount that protects against disruptive rumblings and vibrations from a desktop surface and allows users to quickly position the microphone. Traditional shockmount and custom pop filter sold separately. For each platform connection (USB and iOS), Spark Digital includes a y-cable with an attached, extended female headphone jack for zero-latency direct monitoring. Spark Digital is compatible with iPad, iPhone and is instantly recognized for use with any recording app, in addition to driverless connection via USB on both PC and Mac.
