Red Microphones, sister company to Blue Microphones, is giving away 5 Red Mic packages, complete with the Red Type B mic, Red capsule, custom shock-mount and mic cable to 5 lucky winners. The Type B was designed by the award winning engineers behind such mics as the Blue Bottle and Kiwi.

Included with the Type B microphone body is the Red Lollipop Capsule, an all-around capsule designed to be as versatile as possible, with applications ranging from vocals to electric and acoustic guitars, close-miking of drums, drum overheads, percussion, piano, horns, strings and any other applications where crystal-clear sound quality and detail is of the utmost concern.
