Blue est une société fondée en 1995 par l’artiste et producteur américain Skipper Wise, connu pour ses enregistrements de qualité audiophile, et par Martins Saulespurens, un ingénieur du son letton ayant une formation de musicien classique. Après avoir acquis une expérience unique dans la restauration d’anciens micros électrostatiques et l’amélioration des capsules et circuits d’origine, la firme a développé une gamme exceptionnelle de micros électrostatiques, dont deux modèles à tubes, qui ont été adoptés par les plus grands artistes et studios d’enregistrement.

Fast, maneuverable and beautifully engineered, the Dragonfly employs an innovative design that offers fine tuning and precise placement to please the most discerning recordist, combined with an ease of use that is without equal among contemporary microphones — and at a price that’s considerably less than anything in its class. Winner of both the 2001 TEC Award and an Electronic Musician’s 2001 Editor’s Choice award, the Dragonfly is a unique pressure-gradient cardioid condenser microphone, employing the Blue’s hand-built single-membrane large diaphragm capsule coated with a 6-micron mylar film of pure gold and aluminum. Enclosed within a rotating spherical grille, the capsule can be positioned and adjusted in the smallest spaces. Complete with an integrated elastic shockmount, the microphone’s electronics are based on a class A discrete circuit, with a transformerless output. Its sonic character gives flight to everything from vocals to percussion, electric guitar and bass, as well as more “difficult” sources such as saxophones and stringed instruments.
The Dragonfly Deluxe features gold trim and a deep-green hand-lacquered finish, and comes nestled in its own cherrywood box. The Dragonfly Deluxe is limited to a run of just 275 units, accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.

've owned a DD since they first came out. I have certificate # 15 Smile. This mic is one of the nicest sounding mics I've ever heard. It's my "go-to" mic when all others fail because it seems to work on almost anything.
I really think the DD is one of the most underated, underappreciated, underrecognized mics on the market. I also own several other BLUE mics including the Bottle with the B6 (same cap as the DD as I understand). The DD sounds VERY close to the B6, but a little less "tubey", which makes perfect sense.
I feel that the word really need to get out about the DD! It seems that most people just think it is a fancy version of the regular dragonfly, which is not the case, IMHO. It is one of my favorites for Ac. guitar, Female vox, R&B, and clear style rock/alternative vox. Oh, and if you pair this mic up with a really high end mic cable, it brings out these lovely lows that remind me of a c-12, just more clean and modern.
