Back at AES we got the chance to sit down with BLUE Microphone Founders Skipper Wise And Martins Saulespurens and talk about their then-newly released enCORE series live mics. We're just about set to publish our in-depth Pro Review of the BLUE enCORE 200 Active Dynamic, so let's hear with Skipper and Matins have to say about it first.

We also got to talk a little about the concept behind BLUE's active-dynamic circuit, first seen in the BLUE Ball mic (this mic does require phantom power for operation). While the enCORE 200 might look a little traditional by BLUE standards, Skipper talks about how he gets the idea for their non-desert-inspired mic designs.
