Here's my mini review of the Blueberry:

BLUE Blueberry Review

More simple but bold styling from BLUE (hey, it matters to most!) the Blueberry is one of the most recognizable mics on the planet. A cardioid patterned large condenser, I find the Blueberry tuned for use with all sources intimate.


There is a reduced proximity effect (lower bass build up) when used at close range, enabling singers to get right on the mic without it requiring tons of EQ or overloading your preamp with low end woof. This also works great when shoving the Blueberry right up to an acoustic guitar or a drum kit. The midrange is smooth and detailed, and the top end is very silky with a sheen to it that is simply stunning. It’s kind of amazing the kind of subtle but cool energy that sort of fizzes from this mic.

Conclusion: Put it right on top of your favorite source, and a smooth airy sound is yours. Vocals and acoustic sources benefit from this unique sound.
