# Unboxing the Blue Spark Digital Microphone: A Detailed Look
Hello and welcome to Tech Me Out! Today, we’re going to be doing a quick unboxing of the Spark Digital Microphone. This microphone is made by Blue, and it’s very similar to Blue Microphones’ more high-end cardioid mic. It’s known as the Spark Cardioid Solid-State Condenser Mic. This one pretty much has the same internals, but the difference is that it’s digital, so you don’t need the ICicle or all the extra cables and everything to get it going. All you need is a USB port.
Something else that’s pretty cool about it is that it will also work with your Apple devices such as your iPhone, your iPad, and your iPod. So, if you want to get high-quality recording on your mobile devices, that can be achieved with this particular microphone. However, I’m not going to go into an in-depth review of the microphone today. The purpose of this video is to unbox it, so let’s get started with that.
The packaging here is just this purple box. You have the Blue microphone on the front, some information about the microphone on the side, and a guy playing the guitar on the back. There’s also some general information about the microphone on the packaging, but let’s jump inside of the box because we’ve spent enough time looking at it already.
Inside, we have the Spark Digital manual, which gives you some basic information about the microphone and how it can be used. It also tells you about the cords and the microphone itself—everything you need to know right there in the pamphlet. Let’s pull out the microphone and see what else is included.
Inside the box, we have a carrying bag that emphasizes the portability of the Spark Digital. The bag feels very high quality and durable, so it can withstand stains, dirt, and other things. It has a soft interior that protects the microphone from scratches and helps keep it in good condition. This is definitely better than just carrying the microphone without a case.
Inside the case, we have some cables. It looks like we have the USB cable for the Spark Digital. This particular one will allow you to plug it into your device, as well as has a headphone port so you can plug in your headphones and listen to the audio that you’re recording. The other cable here is the connector cable, which is how you get the microphone to work with your mobile devices. If you have a newer Apple device that uses the Lightning connector, you can just get the adapter kit from Apple and use it so that it works with later generations of Apple devices.
Inside this cardboard box is where the stand rests. We have the Spark Digital stand as well as the Spark Digital microphone. The stand feels very durable—it’s not heavy, but it does have some weight to it, so you can tell that it’s going to stay put wherever you place it. It looks like we also have an integrated shock mount into the stand itself. I’m going to be testing this shock mount in depth because when I watch reviews of microphones, they don’t make the sounds that I make when recording audio. So, I’ll be definitely trying to make some common sounds that you may hear when recording, such as bumping the desk or things like that.
So, definitely stay tuned for the review because I’m going to give the shock mount a thorough test. In addition to the shock mount, we have the microphone, which is packaged very nicely. It’s absolutely beautiful—high-quality metal finish and everything. At the bottom of the microphone, we have our mute switch, and this button here is a multi-purpose button that will control the volume of your headphones as well as control the game audio. Back here, we have our Focus switch, which enhances the audio that’s being recorded.
That’s really it for what we have in the package. Like I said earlier, stay tuned for an in-depth review because I’m going to be definitely testing this microphone as much as possible. I also have the Blue Yeti, so I’ll be putting them up against each other so you can get a better idea of how the microphone contrasts from one mic to the other in reference to the blue line.

we have the spark digital manual here just gives you some information about the microphone and how it can be used and everything like that um it also tells you about the cords and um the microphone itself so that's the information pamphlet here so pulling the microphone out let's see what else hm looks like we have a few things in here so inside we have a carrying bag which I think just emphasizes the portability of the spark digital um the bag does feel very high quality and durable so that it can with stain dirt and um things like that it feels like it would protect the mic especially with the inside having this kind of soft interior and everything so you don't scratch up your microphone and it helps protect it it's better than just carrying it without a case and inside of the case you have some cables so it looks like we have the USB cable for the spark digital this particular one will allow you to plug it in as well as it has a headphone Port so you can plug in your headphones into this particular cable and listen to the audio that you're recording the other cable here is the connector cable so this is how you get it to work with your mobile devices and if you have a newer Apple device that uses the lightning connector then you can just get the adapter kit from Apple and um use it so that it then works with the later generation of Apple devices and I'll be testing that in the review as well cuz I have Apple devices that use a 30 pin as well as a lightning connector so I'll be going more in depth in the review with that so inside this cardboard box is where the stand rest so we have the spark digital stand as well as the spark digital microphone so the stand feels very durable it's not heavy but it does have some weight to it so you can tell that it's it's pretty much going to stay where you sit it so it looks like we have an integrated shock mount into the stand as well and I'm going to be testing very in depth how this shock mount stands against different sounds cuz I know when I personally watch reviews of microphones I'm like they're not making the sounds that I make when I record audio so um I'll be definitely trying to make some common sounds that you may hear when you're recording such as bumping the desk or things like that um so definitely stay tuned for the review cuz I'll be giving the shock mount a thorough test and in
