Blue Microphones ‘Nessie’ Adaptive USB Microphone Now Available!

nessie_at_appleI’ve been waiting for this one.

Blue has announced that Nessie is now available at Apple Stores. Nessie is an adaptive USB microphone with a series of tools built in to help people clean up their recordings. The mic automatically applies EQ and level adjustments, and can help people de-ess their recordings with its on board processing hardware. Some old school tricks are included too. The adjustable neck helps you get the right angle on your source, and the built in pop screen, combined with the internal shock mount, should keep rumble and plosives at bay.

Blue says Nessie will be at more retailers soon; but if you want to score this USB mic, you can head over to the nearest Apple store now!
