ongratulations on the purchase of Blue’s Kiwi

microphone. The transformerless Kiwi is the top of

our solid-state microphone line, combining the low

noise and superb transient response of top-grade

modern electronics with the crisp, airy high end of

legendary vintage vocal mics.

At the heart of the Kiwi is a multi-pattern variation

of Blue’s B6 Bottle microphone capsule. To provide

a consistent response throughout the range of

pickup patterns, two single backplate, large

diaphragm capsules are acoustically matched,

then measured in our anechoic chamber for opti-

mum performance. The end result is a handcrafted

and hand-tuned dual backplate capsule, delivering

a modern tone with a smooth extended top-end.

Though designed primarily to achieve a world-

class contemporary vocal sound, this capsule can

be utilized to add a glossy, produced sheen to sax-

ophone, piano, electric guitar, and other lead

instruments. In omnidirectional and figure of eight

patterns, or when miking at a distance, the Kiwi

delivers every nuance in the room, with finely

focused resolution and clear, musical frequency

response — ideal for distant acoustic guitar

recording, ambient percussion miking, and uncon-

ventional vocal treatments. In its cardioid patterns

the Kiwi excels at delivering a vocal or solo track

right to the front of the mix where it belongs, with

detailed highs, smooth midrange, and minimized

proximity effect (a bass boost inherent in all unidi-

rectional mics).

Getting Started

The Kiwi system includes Blue’s custom

The Shock

suspension shockmount, along with a velvet-lined

cherrywood box which houses the microphone.

The Shock

is designed to isolate the Kiwi microphone

body from low fr y vibrations when mounequenc ted

on a stand. To fit the Kiwi into this assembly, first

open the wire latches on the upper and lower

circular padded bands situated inside the shock

mount frame. Then simply slide the Kiwi into the

bands, make sure that the pattern selector switch

is accessible, and close the wire latches to tighten

the bands around the microphone. The angle of the

mount assembly can be swiveled and adjusted

with the large thumbscrew, which will normally be

positioned at the rear of the mic.

Once you have the Kiwi secured in its shockmount, you may find it easiest to attach the assembly to

a stand by 1) loosening the boom stand arm or threaded end of the mic stand, 2) grasping the mount

assembly in one hand, and 3) screwing the mic stand threads into the mount, without over-tightening.

This procedure will eliminate any possibility of damage to the mic.

NOTE: Forceful positioning of

The Shock without loosening of the thumbscrew can result in damage not covered by warranty.

To get the most out of this, or any quality

microphone, it is essential to pair it with

a good microphone preamplifier. Most pro-

fessional recordists prefer to have out-

board preamps on hand, and will choose

solid-state or vacuum tube models

based on their unique characteristics. To

maintain the integrity of your signal, try

using Blue’s Cranberry, Blueberry or

Kiwi high-definition mic cable along with Blue’s outstanding Class-A vacuum tube mic preamp,

Robbie. And, whenever possible, connect your pre’s output directly to your recorder or A/D convert-

er, bypassing the mixing board and any unnecessary components.

The Kiwi requires +48V phantom power, which is provided by most mic preamps, mixing consoles,

or separate phantom power supplies. It is important to note that some units, though rated at 48

volts, may supply insufficient or unstable phantom power, which can result in distortion and/or

degraded performance when used with the Kiwi.

To a oid damage to audio components when connecting phantom power, follow this simple procedure:v

1) turn down the mic preamp gain, headphones, and your studio monitors, 2) connect microphone

cable to the Kiwi and microphone input jack, 3) turn on phantom power, 4) turn up the mic preamp

gain, etc. To disconnect or re-route the Kiwi, 1) turn down the mic preamp gain, headphones, and

your studio monitors, 2) turn off phantom power and wait 10 seconds before disconnecting the mic.

To s e the delicecur ate capsule during transport and shipping, three brass

set screws are provided. These screws should be mounted in the solid

metal ring around the circumference of the grille when you first take the

microphone out of its case. Remove these screws before using the

microphone, and replace them if you will be transporting or shipping the

microphone.

NOTE: The Kiwi will not work properly if the security screws

are not removed.

Capsule and Pattern Characteristics

When recording in a unidirectional pattern, the active, on-

axis diaphragm is on the same side of the microphone as

the Blue logo. The pattern selector switch is located at the

rear of the microphone, and is easily adjusted by hand, with

no special tools required. In addition to the standard cardioid,

omnidirectional, and figure of eight patterns marked on the selector

switch, there are 6 intermediate gradations of sub-cardioid (between

omni and cardioid) and super-cardioid (between cardioid and figure of

eight) patterns to choose from.

You will notice that the sound of the Kiwi capsule changes when

adjustments are made to the nine-position pickup pattern switch on the

microphone body. In general, the omnidirectional pattern offers the

flattest frequency response, with an absence of proximity effect. As the

pattern becomes more directional (by clicking clockwise through the
