Favorite Blue Mic: en·CORE 200, Mikey for iPod
"We've been rocking the Mikey on tour to catch some video blog audio and we love it! So simple to use. Also, Luke is starting to mess around with the Encore 200 on stage, and that thing sounds amazing! Clearest sound from a non-condenser that we've heard, and it's been getting the thumbs-up from the FOH engineers we've been working with. Nice job, BLUE!"
