Blue Balls?

[subtractor]

Does anyone here have experience with Blue Balls?


Is it any good?

[ozraves]

a rep for blue tells me these are pretty damn impressive. i'm supposed to get one to try out so if that happens i'll try to post up something here. last i heard, they were still not out yet.

Goto www.sweetwater.com/theball . It looks like they have them and they're only $199. Seems like it would have to be pretty cool for that price...

GC will special order them for you @ $200/each.

How the heck do you attach one of those things to a mic stand?

I was kinda wondering that myself... I'm sure there's some sort of mount. I hear it's actually about the size of a softball.

if you look closely at the picture, you can see a mounting ring on the bottom. ...also, this mic has been advertised as a "table-top" mic in several ads. so...... i dunno.

heh he... i really want one though just cause it look so cool. but that goes for every Blue mic.... luckily most of them perform as well as they look too.

My drummer is jonesing to try one as a kick mic.

Judging from the published response pattern, it'll probably be pretty
bright sounding.

Me too... And I'm really surprised it took someone that long to reply in reference to that!

Yeah Subcontractor, I guess we hold back because its such a blatant dare. We're being taunted! Just like any knock-knock joke, or the "shave and a hair cut" gag, we males can't resist the call....

...any fool knows that blue balls are bad!

...blue balls may be 'bright' but you can't be very bright with a case of blue balls!

OK, I'll behave now. (snicker, snicker)

No Blue Balls!

Sometimes they can be good.
Sometimes they can be bad.
Depends on the cause.

How big is that Blue Ball mic? It looks like a basketball with an eye... lol.

[subtractor]

about the size of a softball.

[DJL]

Oh ok, thanks.

what are the intended applications for the blue ball? is it a vocal mic, an instrument, live or recording?
