Logitech 988-000574 Active Dynamic XLR Broadcast Microphone
Overview :
The Logitech 988-000574 (Blue Sona) is a studio-grade active dynamic XLR microphone engineered for professional broadcasting, enterprise podcasting, and high-fidelity streaming environments. AV engineering teams and media procurement specialists deploy this hardware to capture broadcast-quality voice recordings within non-isolated production spaces. It resolves the classic dynamic microphone issue of low output levels by embedding an active preamp circuit that lifts the signal right at the capsule.
Featuring a dual-diaphragm dynamic capsule architecture, the microphone delivers a precise cardioid polar pattern that rejects off-axis room noise and mechanical vibrations. The built-in ClearAmp technology provides an additional +25 dB of clean analog gain, eliminating the requirement for external inline microphone activators. It runs on standard phantom power, feeding a pristine audio signal directly into standard professional mixing consoles and audio interfaces.
This asset is optimized for deployment in broadcast studios, corporate media production suites, remote video editing rooms, and professional streaming environments. It features an integrated 360-degree swivel mount that allows exact positioning on standard studio boom arms. The capsule is enclosed in an all-metal chassis with a internal shockmount to neutralize structural vibrations from desktop movements.
The 988-000574 interfaces via a standard 3-pin XLR male connector and requires +24V or +48V phantom power to operate its internal active preamplification circuitry. Do not connect this hardware directly to unpowered consumer mic inputs or legacy passive mixers lacking a phantom power supply, as the active electronic stage will not engage.
