July 12, 2011 Music Background: Producer Works Perfectly, Adjustibility is Great
by River from Colorado, USA
The attractive in-line design and variable gain make this a keeper. The gain adjustment stays put despite dragging around the floor. Suits my miced amp requirement perfectly.

August 16, 2012 Music Background: Student/Producer/Recording Artist Weak phantom power for LDC mics
by Steve Humes from Tampa, Florida
When plugged into a Rode NT1A, the phantom power was not enough, and experienced clicks and pops.August 11, 2010 Music Background: Semi pro muscian and engineer Used a 58, and no pops, but the idea was to place a large diaphragm condenser on the de... read more [+]sk to record both guitar and vocal. Checked the computer spec on the USB output vs the requirement for the Icicle, and tried both USB ports, and still had the problem. Routed the NT1A through a mixer, using it's phantom power, and line out, and it worked well. The objective was to have minimal gear, and because of the weak phantom power, the original set up failed. It may be enough for an active D.I. box, but not a LDC mic. close [-] Also popular
