The Blue Microphones Dragonfly is a uniquely designed condenser microphone made for use in the recording studio. It has a unique shock mount that holds the mic in place and also comes with a storage box. There isn't much more to say about the characteristics of this microphone as that is pretty much all there is to it.
OVERALL OPINION
I've used the Blue Microphones Dragonfly a number of times to record a variety of applications and I've found it to be a very good microphone. It isn't my favorite microphone that Blue has to offer, but this doesn't mean that this isn't a great mic, I just really love the line of mics that Blue has put out. Like all of the Blue Microphones, the Dragonfly has its own quirks and interesting look and shape which lends to the way that you can place it and what it is best suited for. I have found that the mic works great for a variety of applications including vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, horns, and bass guitar. This being said I can't say if it will work well with other applications for sure as I haven't had the chance to try it out for other things, but I would bet that it would sound great for most applications as this is definitely a well rounded microphone that is built for a variety of applications. The price of the Blue Microphones Dragonfly isn't all that cheap but is definitely reasonable considering the quality of microphone that you are getting. If you are looking to add to your collection the Blue Microphones Dragonfly is a great way to go, but I probably wouldn't recommend buying it as your first or go to microphone for a smaller home studio setting because of its strange design that may not make it the best choice for certain situations. All in all, the Blue Microphones Dragonfly is definitely a microphone that is worth checking out.
