The Blue Reactor is a unique large diaphragm condenser microphone intended to facilitate placement for stereo configurations, and challenging positioning. The Blue Reactor's capsule rotates up to 90°, and features selectable cardioid, omnidirectional and figure 8 polar patterns. The design allows for flexible placement in Mid-Side (M/S) and X/Y configurations. Blue's signature style incorporates LED back-lighting on the pattern indicators and a magnifying element that complements its forward-looking design.
