So, I've got a recent acquisition Blue Blueberry that was (apparently) factory modified with a bayonet mount. I suspected when initially testing it that polarity was reversed but as I also got a bayonet fitted Mouse and a bunch of capsules so I had other toys to attend to at the time. Am finally circling back to the Blueberry and did confirm it is reversed.
Simply flipping phase on my pre gets me results that are audibly comparable to what I would expect, which is to say, I *think* swapping at the XLR output pins is likely sufficient.
My question is: Is the assumption swapping at the XLR output okay or would it be a better practice to test further up the circuit for reversal, such as the bayonet connection? Might I expect any different sonic results if that were the case or is the circuit likely to be indifferent to polarity?
