Logitech Releases Blue Sona XLR Microphone and Litra Beam Desktop Key Light

Logitech For Creatorsa brand extension of Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) dedicated to empowering all creators to pursue their passions, introduces two new solutions for professional-grade streaming and creation. Logitech Blue Sona is an active dynamic XLR microphone with ClearAmp technology that delivers a superior studio-quality sound experience. Logitech Litra Beam is a premium broadcast desktop key light with TrueSoft technology to shape and direct light for professional lighting effects. Both solutions empower creators in entirely new ways.

Capture broadcast-quality sound with Blue Sona, active dynamic XLR microphone

Blue Sona reinvents the traditional broadcast microphone for today’s streamers and creators. Taking Blue Microphones’ legendary audio quality to the next level, Blue Sona combines advanced technology and design purpose-built for streaming gaming, podcasts, and professional-grade video content.

“Blue Sona was designed specifically for creators,” said Soren Pedersen, senior product manager for Logitech For Creators. “From its built-in preamp to its sleek camera-ready design, Blue Sona is unlike other XLR microphones on the market.”

Blue Sona features built-in ClearAmp technology, a key innovation that streamlines the XLR experience by delivering a hefty +25dB gain boost, without the need for an external microphone amplifier. Other advanced features include a dual-diaphragm capsule and supercardioid pickup pattern, which focus on your voice while dominating your surroundings by rejecting unwanted vibrations, key clicks, and background noise. This pro-level performance gets a creator-inspired design with a 290-degree swivel mount1 for total microphone placement freedom in any desktop setup.

An XLR connection easily integrates with external audio interfaces and mixers for sound fine-tuning. Stylish and versatile, Blue Sona comes in Graphite and Off-White color options and features interchangeable Red and Graphite windshields for camera-ready performance.

Shape and direct light with Litra Beam, premium transmission desk light

Litra Beam allows creators to use light to control the appearance of their content in entirely new ways. An innovative beam design with a three-way height, tilt, and swivel adjustable desktop stand offers infinite positioning flexibility to shape and direct light. Control content and easily create mood and tone by placing and adjusting one or more Litra Beams in your setup to achieve a range of professional lighting techniques including Front, Split, Butterfly and Rembrandt.

“Digital content is becoming more and more like cinematography,” said Arnaud Perret-Gentil, senior global product leader, Logitech For Creators. “We designed the Litra Beam to do more than just provide balanced LED light, but also to allow creators and desktop streamers to shape and direct this light to control the mood and expression of their content.”

Pre-stream or mid-stream, streamers and creators can adjust their lighting with Litra Beam. Buttons on the back of the device allow quick access to five brightness and color temperature settings (warm candlelight to cool blue), as well as stepless, continuous adjustment throughout the range, from 2700K-6500K. For added control and convenience, Logitech also offers the desktop app Logitech G HUB, which allows greater flexibility in adjusting brightness by percentage values ​​and Kelvin color temperature, controlling one or more Litra Beams, as well as managing lighting presets. G HUB gives creators full control over their Logitech streaming gear, including Litra Glow, Blue Yeti microphones, and StreamCam, as well as Logitech G gaming gear in one desktop app.

Litra Beam solves the common challenges of today’s streamers and creators looking to improve their content. Proprietary TrueSoft technology delivers balanced, full-spectrum LED light with cinematic color accuracy for a natural, radiant appearance on all skin tones. Its frameless diffuser radiates ample light to eliminate harsh shadows and is certified safe for all-day broadcast, passing even the most stringent UL testing guidelines2. Plus, its slim, modern design with USB compatibility and AC outlet3 goes where other lights can’t, making it easier than ever to achieve professional lighting effects in unique spaces and settings.
