The Korena take

Blue’s Spark Digital is a studio condenser microphone built to record through USB or a compatible Apple 30-pin device. Its Focus Control gives you two capsule-response options from the microphone itself: Normal mode increases low-frequency sensitivity, while Focus mode emphasizes clarity and detail. The included adjustable desk stand, integrated shockmount, platform-specific Y-cables, and real-time headphone monitoring make it ready for desktop recording or an iPad-based setup.
