The Snowball iCE from Blue incorporates Blue's revolutionary
Ball-microphone design with the added convenience of a USB output. The USB
output allows an audio signal to be fed directly to software-based recording
applications without unnecessary preamplifiers or hardware. The Snowball iCE
features a cardioid pickup pattern for a more focused sound and generally
"hears" whatever the mic is pointed at. The sensitivity and signal character of
the Snowball iCE result in clarity and detail while capturing vocals, guitars,
drums, and more at CD-quality rates of 16-bit/44.1 kHz. The mic comes complete
with a desktop stand and a USB cable so you can begin recording right
away.
