The Bottle Caps are Blue's innovative system of eight interchangeable capsules that fit into the Blue Bottle microphone. Each capsule offers the recordist a different tonal characteristic and pickup pattern. From airy highs to larger-than-life lows, the Bottle Caps capture anything from vocal to bass, wind instruments to horns and everything in between with a level of detail and clarity found in only the most expensive and rare vintage classics. The Bottle Cap Capsule Kit includes the entire collection of capsules available for the Bottle Microphone including the following capsules:B0: Cardioid Large Diaphragm: "The ultimate big vocal sound" The B0 is a bright single back plate capsule similar in tone to the B6, with an added sparkle of air in the extreme high end. To obtain the ultimate Big Vocal Sound, work the B0 close with a pop filter. •Superior bright, silky, and intimate presence•Suggested Applications: Background and lead vocals, guitar, mandolin, percussion; any source where extended top end is featured B1: Cardioid Small Diaphragm: "The accuracy plus capsule" The B1 has been designed to capture instruments with a detailed high end, and features a dip in response around 400 Hz to enhance the clarity of a program source•Sonic accuracy with extended high frequency response •Suggested Applications: Nylon or steel-string acoustic guitar, accordion, drum overheads, metal percussion, hi-hat, small pitched percussion such as toy piano or marimba, room or ambient miking, foley and sound effectrecording, strings and orchestral recordingB2: Figure of Eight Large Diaphragm: "The vintage capsule" The response of the B2 has been tailored to resemble the big, warm sound and open pickup pattern of a vintage ribbon microphone. When worked close this capsule is reminiscent of the "Bing Crosby Sound," with soft highs and an enhanced proximity effect. •Big, warm sound of vintage ribbon mic •Suggested Applications: Emulation of vintage saxophone, brass, guitar, or vocal sounds, jazz ensembles and horn sections, muted trumpet, flugelhorn and other low brass instruments, clarinet, overly bright or "edgy" instruments, room miking, acoustic bass, cello and other bowed string instruments, electric bass, clean or distorted electric guitar, pedal steel and slide guitar, whistling, organB3: Cardioid Mid-Sized Diaphragm: "The neutral capsule " This is the most accurate, and, in a purely technical sense, "best" Capsule of the Bottle capsules. The B3 has a soft midrange boost to detail the center frequencies in a program source.•Very transparent, neutral sound •Suggested Applications: Female vocals, distant miking of orchestral groups and instruments, banjo, mandolin, resonator guitar, jazz guitar, distorted electric guitar, electric bass, a natural or "folky" tone on nylon and steel-string acoustic guitar, oboe, bassoon and other double reeds
