Latest innovations from Blue Microphones impress at CES

The new Mikey Digital is said to work with most popular recording apps for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch
Blue Microphones has unveiled three new microphones at CES 2012 - the Apple-centric Mikey Digital, the studio-grade Spark Digital (shown) and the USB-stick-like Tiki
Somewhat snail-like in appearance and less than three inches long, the Tiki mic features a built-in USB connector that's plugged directly into a PC or Mac
Blue Microphones says that the Spark Digital is the world's first studio-grade condenser microphone to offer both USB and iPad connectivity
The new Mikey Digital benefits from automatic and manual gain control, with an LED clipping indicator that lets users know if the volume levels are producing distortion
Tiki has custom condenser capsules and professional-quality preamp circuitry, and features advanced digital signal processing that's said to mimic human hearing
The Spark Digital sports the very same studio-grade condenser capsule and hand-tuned components as the company's original analog Spark microphone
The new Mikey Digital features the same two custom-tuned condenser capsules found in the company's Snowball and Yeti USB microphones
Blue Microphones has also brought over Focus control to the Spark Digital from its analog ancestor
Article Summary
We have to admit to being rather thrilled at discovering the Mikey for Flip and the Yeti Pro USB microphones from Blue at last year's CES, and were hoping for something just as good this year. We were not disappointed. The company has just debuted the Apple-centric Mikey Digital, the studio-grade Spark Digital and the cute as a button (but not actually sporting any) Tiki in Las Vegas this week.
