Mount the Blueberry microphone onto a microphone stand. Do so by screwing the shockmount attached to the Blueberry microphone onto the end of the microphone stand.
Plug a microphone cable, also known as an XLR cable, into the Blueberry microphone. The female end of the microphone cable (with three holes in it) will fit securely into the bottom of the Blueberry microphone. Once the microphone cable is securely seated, it will snap and lock into place.
Plug the other end of the microphone cable into a microphone preamplifier. The male end of the microphone cable (with three prongs on it) will fit snugly into an XLR input on the back of your microphone preamplifier. Be sure that the microphone preamplifier you choose has phantom power.
Turn on phantom power on the microphone preamplifier. Since the Blueberry is a condenser microphone, it needs phantom power to operate. If your microphone preamplifier has phantom power, there will be a button on the front or back indicating so. Press this button (or flip this switch) to turn phantom power on. Occasionally the phantom power button will be labeled "+48."
Adjust the gain of the microphone preamplifier to set it to the desired level. Turn the gain knob up until the microphone is at an appropriate level. However, be sure that you do not turn up the gain too high and cause the microphone to overload. Doing so can cause audible distortion. Watch the meter on your preamplifier and turn down the gain if you notice the meter go above its maximum output level during use.
Point the front of the Blueberry capsule, the side with the logo, at the sound source you want to capture Since the Blueberry has a cardioid pickup pattern, it captures sound from the front of the microphone and rejects sound from its sides and back.
Position the Blueberry closer to the sound source to capture a more direct and intimate sound.
Position the Blueberry farther away from the sound source to capture a more ambient and distant sound.
