Overview

The Blue Spark SL is the successor to the original Blue Spark; prioritizing detail and transparency,

Blue spec'ed the Spark SL with a custom JFET design to ensure the capsule's backplate is evenly charged for best pickup.

Class-A circuitry ensures transparency and low noise.

Rounding out the main specifications are a 100hz filter and a -20dB pad for added versatility.
