Blue Microphones Takes Center Stage on American Idol

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

For a few months now, Blue Microphones has been working behind the scenes with Jimmy Iovine’s team at Interscope Records and Beats by Dre to create a world class microphone for on-stage use by the contestants of American Idol. Beginning with last night’s performances, American Idol debuted this new wireless microphone custom-built specifically for this season’s performers. Combining the sonic detail, clarity, and unique head design of Blue’s enCORE 300, the style of Beats by Dre, and pioneering new digital wireless technology from Line 6, our latest innovation is rocking the American Idol stage!

While this wireless microphone system is specifically built for American Idol (for now), you can pick up the wired version of the microphone, Blue’s enCORE 300, at Sweetwater, Best Buy, Guitar Center, Musician’s Friend and other authorized Blue dealers.

Stay tuned for more Blue-quality sound on American Idol this season….!
