Re: and I thought about getting a Blue Mic
....Got me a whole bunch of BLUE mics from BLUE, not the imitators.
I LOVE these things. But, beware, there are MANY imitators and ripoffs out there touting someone else's name.

Re: and I thought about getting a Blue Mic
I'm a bit confused. Violet is the real thing right? Did Blue buy the rights to the Viloet mic designs or something and then just recently started producing cheap knock-off's of their own mic's (which used to be nice) to cut corners? Kind of like a Mexican Strat vs. an American Strat?

It is my understanding that the legal battle going on currently is with regards to who owns the patents of some of the designs. I have no idea who is in the right and who is in the wrong. What I can say is that the products developed entirely after the formation of Violet with no possible connection to BLUE are damn fine mics.

Re: and I thought about getting a Blue Mic
Thanks for your reply Chris. Right before you posted, I found this at the Violet website.....
My statement is initiated as a result of incorrect information provided by "Baltic Latvian Universal Electronics", LLC., at their website: www.bluemic.com. I have designed 6 base microphone models in past from zero. For 6 years, I was manufacturing and selling these microphones to United States based trade company "Baltic Latvian Universal Electronics", LLC. I have invested a lot of time and financial resources in microphone designing and manufacturing technology excellence. Thousands of happy customers around globe are the best prove of it. Unfortunately any talks about my intellectual property rights have been ignored by the "Baltic Latvian Universal Electronics", LLC. Even more, in last year they have tried to replicate my microphone designs and set up production in “low cost manufacturing countries”. Over 60 devoted people are taking part in designing and manufacturing process here in Latvia. They can assure reality. Despite our efforts in last 5 years, it was impossible to sign any contract between me as designer/manufacturer and "Baltic Latvian Universal Electronics", LLC Trade Company. Manufacturing was going on verbal contact basis only. Above situation resulted in following: In 2003 - designing and manufacturing of the new "Violet" microphone line, In October, 2004 - discontinuing any operations with "Baltic Latvian Universal Electronics", LLC. In January 2005 - continuing manufacturing of my microphone models under "JZ" trademark. I use legally registered trademark "JZ". This trademark and "JZ" microphone product design are registered in EU. I am ready to provide necessary documentation in case of any legal action. I hope that this information will help you to understand the situation better. Wishing the best, Juris Zarins http://www.violetusa.com/Default.aspx?tabid=152 |

Re: and I thought about getting a Blue Mic
BLUE in my opinion has some of the best mics, so yes, be careful. I got a Baby Bottle used (3 days old and kept in a studio) for $349 and it sounds amazing
