The Blue Sona is an active-dynamic XLR broadcast microphone from Logitech's Blue line, built for streamers and podcasters who run a proper audio interface. Its only connection is a single 3-pin XLR output — there is no USB path on this model. Thanks to its built-in ClearAmp preamp it delivers about +25 dB of extra gain, so it does not need a separate inline mic booster, but it still requires +48V phantom power from your interface or mixer.

Notes & Compatibility
XLR-only mic — connects to an audio interface or mixer via a standard balanced XLR cable. Built-in ClearAmp preamp adds ~+25 dB gain; still needs phantom power. Without phantom power it is silent: Logitech rates it for +48V and says it also runs on +24V, so it can’t go into a mixer channel that has no phantom. The two tone switches (bass cut, presence boost) sit under a magnetic plate on the base. 5/8-inch mount thread, with a 3/8-inch adapter in the box.
