Basing many of their concepts, designs, and technology on knowledge gleaned from years of repairing and improving classic microphones from a wide variety of manufacturers, but by simultaneously integrating new technologies, materials and a first-hand knowledge of today’s recording process, Blue began to pioneer the perfect analog input devices for the digital age. http://www.bluemic.com/ @bluemicrophones

We believe our customers want to protect their devices with a good quality case, but they’d rather do it with a case that is more enjoyable to own and use. www.speckproducts.com @speckproducts
