Capture Broadcast-Quality Sound With Blue Sona, Active Dynamic XLR Microphone

Blue Sona reinvents the traditional broadcast mic for today’s streamers and creators. Taking Blue Microphones’ legendary audio quality to the next level, Blue Sona combines advanced tech and a purpose-built design for professional-level game streaming, podcasting, and video content.

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

Blue Sona features built-in ClearAmp technology, a key innovation that streamlines the XLR experience by delivering a strong +25dB gain boost — no external mic booster required. Other advanced features include a dual-diaphragm capsule and supercardioid pickup pattern, which focus on the voice while taming the environment by rejecting unwanted vibrations, key clicks, and background noise. This pro-level performance gets a creator-first design with a 290-degree swivel mount¹ for complete freedom of mic placement in any desktop setup.

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

Shape & Direct Light With Litra Beam, Premium Streaming Desktop Key Light

Litra Beam enables creators to use light to control the look and feel of their content in all-new ways. An innovative beam design with a three-way adjustable desktop stand featuring height, tilt, and rotation offers endless 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 like cinematography,” said Arnaud Perret-Gentil, senior global product lead for Logitech For Creators. “We designed Litra Beam to do more than just deliver balanced LED light but to enable desktop streamers and creators to shape and direct this light to control the mood and expression of their content.”

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

Litra Beam solves common challenges for today’s streamers and creators seeking to level up their content. Proprietary TrueSoft technology delivers balanced, full-spectrum LED light with cinematic color accuracy for a natural, radiant look across all skin tones. Its frameless diffuser radiates wide light to eliminate harsh shadows and is certified safe for all-day streaming, passing even the strictest UL testing guidelines². Moreover, its slim, modern design with USB and AC outlet compatibility³ goes where other lights can’t go, making it easier than ever to achieve professional lighting effects in unique spaces and setups.
