The Snowball USB Mic matches Blue's styling with high quality, versatility and ease of use. The mic's universal driver and plug-and-play USB compatibility allows for quick and easy recording into laptop or DAW, while its dual-capsule design and three-position switch dial in the desired sound for many applications, say Shuttlesound.
The Snowball's versatility is achieved by a unique dual-capsule design, with one capsule tailored for a cardioid pattern and the other for an omni-directional pattern. The three-position switch on the back of the mic lets the user change between the capsules. The first position activates the cardioid pattern capsule with a neutral sonic signature, ideal for speech applications, while the second activates the cardioid capsule with a 10dB pad, for singing. The third position activates the omni-directional capsule with a brighter overall sound, the company says.
