# Miniature USB Microphones The 'Blue Raspberry' is a Portable and Powerful Voice Recorder By Joey Haar | Published 2016-09-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-raspberry References: [wired](https://www.wired.com/2016/09/blue-raspberry-gives-solid-usb-mic-go/) & [bluemic](http://www.bluemic.com/products/raspberry/) Blue, the [microphone company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-mic-system) behind the Blue Raspeberry, touts the product as "a vocal studio in the palm of your hand." Based on the diminutive device's size and capabilities, it seems that both sides of that ambitious statement are true. In terms of its studio-quality recording, the Blue Raspberry has the specs to keep it competitive. It has a new Internal Acoustic Diffuser that is able to focus in on voices and cut out background sounds. Further, the Blue Raspberry manages to maintain low-frequency sounds, like the bass of a voice, using proprietary [condenser capsule circuitry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-elite-usb-microphone) that mimics large-diaphragm microphones. In terms of size, the mic truly fits in the palm of one's hand. Further, it comes with a [folding table stand attachment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-microphone) to turn any desk into a sound studio. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Mobile Audio Recording:** The compact size and high-quality recording capabilities of Blue Raspberry make it an ideal competitor in the mobile audio recording industry. - **Portable Voice Enhancement Devices:** Blue Raspberry's Internal Acoustic Diffuser and proprietary condenser capsule circuitry create disruptive innovation opportunities in the portable voice enhancement industry. - **Real-time Noise Cancellation:** The Blue Raspberry's Internal Acoustic Diffuser's ability to focus on voices and cut out background sounds creates opportunities for real-time noise cancellation technology. ### Where This Applies - **Podcasting:** Podcasting professionals can benefit from the Blue Raspberry's compact size and innovative recording technology, perfect for recording high-quality audio on-the-go. - **Music Production:** The Blue Raspberry's high-quality recording capabilities make it an ideal competitor in the music production industry, as it can be used for vocals and instrument recording. - **Speech Recognition:** Blue Raspberry's Internal Acoustic Diffuser and proprietary condenser capsule circuitry can be leveraged in the speech recognition industry to identify and isolate voices over background noise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Budget Portable Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/budget-portable-microphone.md) - [Broadcast-Quality Podcaster Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rde-podmic.md) - [Accessible Studio-Grade Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rode-ntusb.md) - [All-in-One Mobile Recording Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hisong-airstudio-s1.md) - [Stylish Portable Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saramonic-air.md) - [Content Creator-Focused Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-content-creators.md) - [Ultra-Tiny Wireless Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boya-mini.md) - [Simplified Smartphone External Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rode-videomic-go-ii.md) - [Compact Professional-Grade Microphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solum-voice-s.md)
