From now until the end of the year, you can get free gear when you purchase select mics from Blue Microphones. Three separate promotions will run until December 31, 2009. Details are as follows:

Purchase the Blue Baby Bottle from an authorized Blue dealer and receive a free Icicle XLR-to-USB converter / preamp, on the spot. This combination of Icicle and Baby Bottle will allow you to sip chilled milk, that is, record anything directly into your computer via the Icicle's studio preamp, 48V phantom power,and variable gain control, while enjoying a cold beverage.

Likewise, when you purchase a Bottle Rocket Stage One or Stage Two, you will receive a rebate coupon for your choice of interchangeable capsules. When you buy a Blue Bottle microphone, you will get a rebate coupon for two free capsules. All three microphones are built on the company's system of eight interchangeable capsules, for a range of customizable recording.

When you buy a prickly Cactus microphone or a sweet Kiwi solid-state microphone, you will get a rebate coupon for a free Robbie mic preamp. Both the Cactus and the Kiwi include nine polar patterns to suit any recording application. Use the Cactus to capture fine details, and use the Kiwi to record vocals, acoustic guitar, and piano.

All purchases must be made between October 1st and December 31st from an authorized Blue retailer or dealer. To learn more about these promotions, visit the Triple Feature page on Blue Microphones' Web site.
