Jellyfish Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) [b]Pictured below is my Snowball USB Mic that's for sale. Blue are a reputable company that make great USB mics and are extremely popular amongst the vlogging YouTube community, but its musical applications (especially vocals) are great as well. See YouTube for demos. The mic is brushed aluminium and is in virtually new condition, hence the price. The RRP on these is just under £90 and the shock mount's RRP is just under £45. [/b][b]I purchased this new with the intention to use it, but with a fairly good headset and accessible XLR inputs on my interface, this isn't getting used at all.[/b] [b]Price is £75 delivered anywhere in the UK. Payment via PayPal is preferred.[/b] [b]Only things i'm interested in from trades are TC Electronic Pedals, especially a Polytune or other vocal microphone or mic gear, but if you're tempted by this then feel free to drop me a PM with other trade offers anyway as I might not want something until I see it![/b] [b] Three Different Recording Pattern Modes for Versatile Recording[/b] Using Blue Microphone's proprietary dual-capsule technology, the Snowball can record a wide range of situations. Its multiple pattern capability makes it an ideal choice for recording music, podcasts, Skype conversations, and live chat. Depending on what kind of sound you are recording, you can choose from three distinct pattern modes:[indent][list] [*]Cardioid mode: Well-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 PAD: The same as cardioid mode, except with a -10 dB attenuation that helps you capture louder sounds with higher fidelity. [*]Omnidirectional mode: Omnidirectional 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. [/list] [/indent] [b] Innovative Design Makes Recording Easy[/b] With a visual design inspired by classic recording equipment, the Snowball's stylish, retro aesthetic will complement any computer system. Its metal grille and 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. [b] Hassle-Free Setup[/b] 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 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.
