Blue Microphones' Nessie Hands-On

2013-01-31
hey guys john here with TechnoBuffalo bringing you guys some more namm 2013 coverage this time we're taking a first look at the Nessie from blue a lot of guys who are familiar with blue know a lot of youtubers and podcasters have used the snowball in the Yeti this is their next generation Nessie so it's kind of like the snowball but on steroids if I had to describe it you got a cardioid condenser capsule what's awesome those that they actually include not only a pop filter built right into the microphone but they also include shock absorption so that was always one of my complaints with this snowball or even the Yeti if you had remotely any noise on your desk it's going to pick that up so not only is it going to reduce those pops and save you money of having to buy a pop filter but the shock absorption is going to give you cleaner and more focused audio now in addition to an awesome flexible adjustable head which blue is touting as serpentine flexibility they're also going to get three recording modes one which is geared for vocals so that's for podcasts for YouTube it's going to give you the best possible sound directly out of the microphone and it's going to take the guesswork so you don't got to eq compress anything it's all built right there into that setting and then after that you have instrument mode so it's going to bring out the detail on things like acoustic guitar ukulele or even drums and then finally you have raw mode which is pure unadulterated audio but you can still take advantage of the pop filter as well as the shock absorption now lastly the Nessie also features a built-in zero latency headphone output so you can hear yourself and then you can conveniently adjust that volume up or down simply by turning the bottom base on the microphone and on top of that they have what they call instant mute so you literally just tap and the built-in LED will kind of pull state to go off and on to let you know that the mute is engaged and when you tap it again the LED will go fully lit not pulsating and let you know that the mute is disengaged aside from that from first impressions it looks like Blue's got a winner on their hands with the Nessie obviously time will tell with the full review comparisons and obviously audio test but for now on paper it looks like a badass microphone if you guys want to know more make sure to check out the companion article on TechnoBuffalo comm link down below aside from that this is John for bulls thank you guys for watching I will see you guys later you
