Three Different Pattern Modes for Versatile Recording
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|
Cardioid ModeWell-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 PADThe same as cardioid mode, except with a -10 dB attenuation that helps you capture louder sounds with higher fidelity. |
Omnidirectional ModeOmnidirectional 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 brushed-aluminum 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 8, 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.
