Blue Microphones enCORE 100 Review / Test HD

Today I review the Blue Encore 100; an XLR Dynamic mic from Blue that is a great alternative to the Shure SM58 if you do not like the darker tone of the SM58. It sounds great on voice, and electric guitar, but lacks on acoustic guitar, and also doesn’t do great at ignoring handling noise or plosives.
