Blue Microphones Raspberry

If you are a podcaster or a music maker that wants to record on the go, the Blue Microphones Raspberry USB is a great microphone to have in your bag. It’s small, portable, and looks good if you have it set up in your shot. And it packs some technology you can only get through Blue Microphones.

This USB condenser microphone has it all for the on-the-go recorder. The size is not an issue and it comes with it’s own microphone stand which can be placed upright or in low-profile mode. The Raspberry comes with a micro-USB to iOS Lightning cable and a micro-USB to USB cable. You can easily connect it to PC, Mac or iOS devices.

Specs of the Blue Raspberry

The Raspberry has a range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. That covers a lot of vocal ranges, and many different instruments. You won’t want to use it to record a Bass Drum or Tuba, but you can definitely get a guitar, flute, oboe, or overall hall sound if recording the concert.

The microphone can record up to 24-bit and sample at 44.1 or 48 kHz. An adjustable gain dial allows you to amplify your microphone by +40db.

The mounting screw is 1/4″ in diameter, and comes with an adapter to connect to a microphone stand if needed.

Finally, as in many USB microphones nowadays, the Raspberry contains a headphone jack so you can listen to the sound coming in the microphone.

Acoustic Diffuser

This is a patent-pending technology by Blue Microphones. A diffusing foam inside the microphone that will catch reflections and other low-end noises so you don’t get them in your recording. With the room being controlled, you can place the Raspberry close by without having it in your face.

Cons of Blue Raspberry

Blue microphones doesn’t support Android devices yet. I have read there are some that work, though. You will have to purchase a micro-USB to micro-USB (or USB Type-C) and test on your own.

The other issue is the micro-USB plug. It gets in the way of the stand and you can easily pull out the plug from the microphone. A re-design where the plug is protected from that might be in order.

Overall Thoughts

The Blue Microphones Raspberry is a solid mic with a great sound. In the video, you will hear how crisp it is. While this is in a semi-sound controlled room, I have also used it in louder areas with decent results.

The Raspberry is $199 on Amazon.

In Wisconsin, friends are called "Sconnies". Even if you're not from Wisconsin, you can be part of the Sconnie Geek Nation through my coverage! By pledging, you join the Geek Sconnie Nation! Plus, you help me cover costs so I can continue the coverage of Gadget tech, music tech, and geek culture through the shows.

With the passing of John Glenn last week, I thought it would be appropriate to pause my coverage of Apollo 10 for a week and create an episode that celebrates the life of the American Icon, John Glenn.  I covered John Glenn’s Mercury flight in episodes 30-31.  I am going to re-release those episodes over the next 2 days.  So I won’t spend a lot of time on his Mercury flight in this episode, that will be covered tomorrow.

John Glenn – Mercury-Atlas 6

Senator John Glenn

John Glenn – STS-95

Yes your heard it, a change to the intro, I totally screwed up in which I edited to fix, which is like the 5-6th time I have edited a show. Nice stack of stories today, and a call to action! Please promote my GoDaddy page with your family, friends co-workers you name it… Spread the network circle and holiday cheer. Hope you enjoy today’s show.
