Blue just keeps coming up with recording solutions, and the Snowball makes computer recording easier than ever! The Snowball is a USB direct-recording microphone and the next of kin to Blue’s unusually hip lineup of spherical mics. The Snowball is designed for mobile laptop use and desktop studios with its universal drivers for Mac and Windows and built-in plug-and-play USB connectivity.
Designed for desktop recording applications, the Snowball incorporates Blue’s styling with versatility and ease of use. The mic’s universal driver and plug and play USB compatibility make recording into your laptop or DAW quick and easy, while its dual capsule design and three-position switch dial in the desired sound for many applications.
The Snowball’s versatility is achieved by its unique dual-capsule design, with one capsule tailored for vocals and the other for instruments. A 3-position switch on the back of the mic lets you change between the capsules. The first position offers a robust vocal sound. The second position delivers an open, airy detailed sound that’s good for electric guitars. The third position is a unique combination of both capsules, which allows for the recording of loud sound sources.
