Blue Microphones Announces New Tiki Intelligent USB Mic

Blue Microphones has announced Tiki, the first USB microphone with advanced DSP that mimics the intelligence of human hearing by focusing on desired sounds, minimizing background noise and knowing when to mute altogether.

Combining proprietary noise-cancelling technology, Voice Isolation and Intelligent Mute, Tiki dramatically improves the intelligibility of communication in any environment. Tiki offers two modes that allow users to switch between Intelligent Speech Mode for communication and Natural Recording Mode for CD-quality recording of vocals, instruments or podcasts. Similar in size to a standard USB flash drive, Tiki's portable, cable-free design allows it to plug directly into your laptop's USB port.

Tiki's Intelligent Speech Mode isolates your voice to bring it to the foreground and uses noise cancellation to minimize unwanted sounds and background noise. It features front and back facing microphones to capture the best quality sound and automatically soft-mutes the mic when you're not speaking.


Tiki's Natural Recording Mode uses custom condenser capsules and professional-quality preamp circuitry to record high-fidelity audio with exceptional clarity. Natural Recording Mode delivers a full and rich sound directly from the microphone.

The microphone features a cable free design letting Tiki plug directly into a USB port and requires no drivers for both PC and Mac. The MSRP for Tiki is $59.
