Manufacturer's Description

Create studio-quality recordings with Blue Microphone's Snowball, a USB microphone with exceptional sound-capture capabilities. Using Blue Microphone's award-winning dual-capsule and circuit design, the Snowball produces crisp, clean recordings that are free of feedback and distortion. A unique pattern switch allows you to toggle between three different settings, giving you the flexibility to record vocals, instrumental music, podcasts, interviews, and more. With a plug-and-play design that is both Mac and PC compatible, the Snowball requires no additional drivers and is ready to record straight out of the box.

Three Different Recording Pattern Modes for Versatile Recording

Using Blue Microphone's proprietary dual-capsule technology, the Snowball can record a wide range of situations. Its multiple pattern capability makes it an ideal choice for recording music, podcasts, Skype conversations, and live chat. Depending on what kind of sound you are recording, you can choose from three distinct pattern modes:

  • Cardioid mode: Well-suited to podcasts, sung vocals, and other voice work, cardioid mode records sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone. It delivers a rich, full-bodied sound.
  • Cardioid mode with -10 dB PAD: The same as cardioid mode, except with a -10 dB attenuation that helps you capture louder sounds with higher fidelity.
  • Omnidirectional mode: Omnidirectional mode picks up sound equally from all directions. It is best used in situations when you want to capture the ambience of "being there"--like a live recording of a band's performance.
  • Innovative Design Makes Recording Easy

    With a visual design inspired by classic recording equipment, the Snowball's stylish, retro aesthetic will complement any computer system. Its metal grille and frame recall the look of old-timey microphones.

    The Snowball comes with an adjustable tripod that lets you position the microphone in relation to the sound source, improving sound quality. It also features an LED indicator, which glows red when the microphone is powered.

    Hassle-Free Setup

    The Snowball requires no complicated drivers to operate; simply plug it into your computer's USB port with the included USB cable, calibrate the microphone with your operating system, and you're ready to record.

    The microphone is compatible with Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP (Home and Professional), and Mac OS X (10.4.11 or higher), and requires a minimum of 64 MB of RAM.

    Colour Name:Gloss Black
    Using this mic for home recording/music production. So far I have only tried the vocals setting but have been very impressed by the sound quality. It is the first time I have managed to record my own voice and not recoiled in horror on playback. I don't sound as whiney as I thought, it must have been the cheap microphones I have been using all along. The microphone captures a nicely rounded sound, is easy to set up and looks great in a retro styly way (It is the size of a baseball). An excellent buy.

    Colour Name:White|Amazon Verified Purchase
    My snowball came defective out of the box, but support were very helpful and my replacement works like a charm. You will get low gain on audio if you're not careful, but a few tweaks with whatever software you use (works well with Audacity) take care of that in no time.

    One of the better USB microphones on the market.
