Whether you’re a professional looking to lay down a few tracks or a podcast hobbyist looking for a good microphone, Blue Microphones are the way to go. The Spark Digital ($200) is the world’s first studio condenser microphone to offer both USB and iPad connectivity. Using Blue’s legendary studio condenser capsule and expanding on their already popular Spark XLR studio microphone, the Spark Digital features the same hand-tuned components resulting in the high-fidelity recording and performance for all occasions — speech, piano, drums, vocals and more. Blue’s Spark Digital currently ships in both Lightning and 30-pin versions.
