Press Release from Blue
Blue Microphones announces the first USB microphone designed for professional recording applications. Dubbed the Snowball, the mic is an extension of Blue�s popular line of spherical mics that includes the original Ball, the world�s first phantom-powered dynamic; the 8-Ball condenser mic; and the newly shipping Kickball, Blue�s new big bass dynamic.
Designed for desktop recording applications, the Snowball incorporates Blue�s exceptional styling with high quality, versatility and ease of use. The mic�s universal driver and plug & play USB compatibility make recording into your laptop or DAW quick and easy, while its dual capsule design and three-position switch dial in the desired sound for many applications.
The Snowball�s versatility is achieved by its unique dual-capsule design, with one capsule tailored for vocals and the other for instruments. A three position switch on the back of the mic lets you change between the capsules. The first position offers the end user a robust vocal sound, the second position delivers an open, airy detailed sound and the third position is a unique combination of both capsules, which allows for the recording of loud sound sources. The result makes Snowball a multi-talented recording tool � the first USB mic designed and engineered by people who know sound.
Snowball will be available in Q2 of 2005 for $139.00 MSRP.
Characteristics � USB connectivity for PC and Macintosh platforms � Blue�s unique dual capsule design � Capable of handling a wide variety of instruments and vocals � Rugged ABS construction
Optional Accessories � The RingerTM: Unique custom shockmount for our ball line of microphones or any mic with a standard thread mount
