UK - The design chic of Blue Microphones is now available with USB connectivity for desktop recording applications. The new Snowball USB microphone is available from UK distributor Shuttlesound.

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.
