If You Wanna Get Technical . . .
Spark Digital’s analog electronics are Class A and fully discrete with a transformerless output. Simply put, this means that the sound which
arrives at the diaphragm (mic capsule) is converted to electrical energy (transduced) is then amplified as accurately as possible, with minimal
coloration and absolutely no integrated circuits (also known as “IC’s”) in the signal path. Integrated circuits, by the way, are smaller and
inexpensive versions of large ‘discrete’ components that talk a big game but really don’t perform quite as well.
The engineers at Blue take your sound seriously, so we designed Spark Digital’s signal path exclusively with those high quality discrete
analog components. This analog signal is then passed off to the microphone’s digital conversion circuitry, which converts the analog signal
to digital data that can be understood by computers or iPads/iPhones. This allows complete control of the sound quality and conversion
process before entering your computer. The individual differences may be subtle, but when added up it’s a difference you can appreciate.
As a result, we think you’ll find Spark Digital’s overall sonic character is superbly detailed and pleasing to the ear, a microphone with truly
professional capabilities. These features make it your ideal microphone for recording vocals, podcasts, guitars, pianos, brass, woodwinds,
drums, and just about anything else that you can throw onto the fire.
