Turn phantom power on when utilizing a Blue Baby Bottle microphone. Because the Baby Bottle is a condenser microphone, it will not operate without phantom power.
Point the front of the microphone toward the sound source you would like to capture. Because of its cardioid pickup pattern, the microphone will reject sound from its back and sides. If you do not point the microphone towards the source you are wanting to record, you will not capture its sound to the best of the microphone's ability.
Use a high quality microphone preamp when using the Blue Baby Bottle microphone. The microphone will only sound as good as the medium through which you are using it. Quality microphone preamplifiers will enhance the characteristics of the microphone. Because of this, the better quality microphone preamplifier, the better the Blue Baby Bottle microphone will sound.
Use the microphone to record sound sources for which the microphone was originally intended, such as vocals, drums, electric guitar and horns. By utilizing the microphone on the sound sources it was specifically designed for, you will obtain the best sound from a Blue Baby Bottle microphone.
