ongratulations on your purchase of the Bluebird! Here

at Blue, we are known for designing and building the

finest microphones available for studio, stage, film and

broadcast use. Our microphones unite the heritage of the

world’s most respected classics with leading-edge tech-

nology, innovative engineering and inimitable styling.

The BluebirdTM is a fine example of our years of microphone

and capsule manufacturing experience.

To create the Bluebird, we’ve borrowed

the best characteristics from many of

our renowned microphone designs.

With the Bluebird, you benefit

from the immediacy of the Baby

Bottle, the robust character of the

Dragonfly, the shimmering high end

of the Blueberry, the deep bottom of

the Mouse, and the superlative, larger

than life presence of the Kiwi all rolled

into one, to bring you a microphone of

exceptional sound quality, cutting-edge

design and superior craftsmanship.

In order to familiarize yourself with the Bluebird’s

specialized and unique features, please take the time to

read this manual and be sure to try the suggested

recording tips. With proper care and use, the Bluebird

will reward you with many years of recording enjoyment.

Unlike other bluebirds you may know of, this one

requires no feeding and there’s no mess to clean up!

The Bluebird is a pressure gradient large diaphragm

condenser which employs an edge-terminated 6µ pure

gold-sputtered mylar capsule membrane. Enclosed within

its unique grille, the side-address capsule can be positioned

in the smallest of spaces for very precise placement.

Please note that unlike some Blue microphones, the

Bluebird capsule is not designed to be removed or to

rotate, swivel, or move in any direction.

Compared to similar microphones, the Bluebird has a very

low self noise specification (>7.5dB) and an very high

output level (+12dBV), making it the perfect choice for

today’s high sample rate/deep word length digital plat-

forms. Instead of integrated circuits (chips), the Bluebird

employs a transformerless Class A discrete amplifier circuit

to insure the most accurate and noise-free signal possible,

with minimal distortion and coloration. What you hear at

the input is what you get at the output. The Bluebird’s

tonal character makes it an ideal microphone for recording

vocals, drums, electric guitar, piano, and most acoustic

instruments including difficult sources like saxophones,

flutes, and strings.

The Bluebird Accessory Pak includes a custom shockmount

and pop filter. The shockmount is designed to isolate the

microphone body from low frequency resonance (rumble),

while the pop filter helps to eliminate sibilance and

plosive sounds when used with vocals. For the best

possible signal transmission from microphone output to

preamp input, we recommend using Blue’s 22-AWG

Blueberry mic cable. Please note: Forceful positioning of

the shockmount without loosening the thumbscrew can

result in damage not covered by warranty.

The Bluebird requires +48V phantom power, which is

provided by most mic preamps and mixing consoles. If

your preamp or console input does not provide phantom

power, you will need to purchase a separate +48V power

supply. It is important to note that some units, though

rated at +48V, may supply insufficient or unstable

phantom power, which can result in distortion and/or

degraded performance when used with a condenser

microphone. Because of this, we have designed the

Bluebird to deliver outstanding performance with a

power supply as low as +35V!

To avoid damage to audio components when connecting

the Bluebird to your microphone input, we recommend

the following procedure:

• Set mic preamp gain to its nominal position (“off”).

• Mute console master, stage monitor and mains feeds,

headphones or foldback sends, and studio monitors.

• Connect the female end of your balanced XLR micro-

phone cable to the Bluebird’s output jack. Connect the

male end to your balanced console input or balanced

mic preamp input.

• Switch on phantom power.

• Un-mute all previously muted signal paths and adjust

mic preamp gain as necessary.

Once the Bluebird is on the stand and powered up, make sure

that the active, on-axis side of the capsule (the side aligned

with and directly above the Blue logo) is facing the desired

source. The Bluebird is a cardioid mic, and is designed to

reject off-axis sound arriving at the back of the capsule.
