Very Difficult To Beat At This Price
Blue Blueberry Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Reviewed by Joseph Salvatore on Guitar Center
I've used this mic for many years, and while there is always subjectivity when judging these things, I can safely say you're going to be hard pressed to beat the sound of this mic without spending at least twice as much. Maybe not even then. It has a very open top end, but not hyped at all. The airy sound comes from the fact that this mic does not give you a lot of proximity effect (the boominess from getting up close to a mic). If you like that boom, then this isn't for you. However, almost all studio applications seek to get rid of this in mix down, so the lack of prox effect is considered a plus by most people. Also, the Blueberry does suffer a little from off-axis rejection. You need to be in front of it. Being off to the side will noticeable change the sound. You don't want to use it for ensembles or have two or three people on one mic. For use as an all around mic for acoustic guitar, vocals, percussion, whatever...this thing does it exceptionally well. As always, try to do your own listening tests if you can, but make sure you hear this before buying anything. ... More

Have used this mic for over 10 years in a home studio recording vocals for prog-rock band and love it. Great, natural, clean sound --- and when combined w/ UAD plug-ins, this mic shines exceptionally well. If you're on the fence about this one, don't worry. You won't be disappointed w/ the Blueberry's solid make & sound.

No complaints about this fine mic. It has a very low noise floor and even response curve. Handles wide dynamic range extremely well. Highly recommended.

Working in large studios most of my life I've been a U87 fan for a long time. When I started to build my home studio, one of my friends recommended that I take a listen to the Blueberry. Loved it works on almost anything or vocalist I throw at it.

Sweet Mic.. Great for Male Vocals. Brings a presence without sounding 'tinny'. You can spend a lot more.. but why?

I love immediacy in audio recording, and this Blueberry by Blue has that C12 and U67 vibe. Crisp and unburied. Beautiful construction and low self noise. Needs S2 shockmount (made my own). A winner!
capsule rattles around inside the microphone.
