«  The Snowball, not too bad with USB »

Published on 10/26/10 at 13:05
Hello,

This mic is versatile (vocals, acoustic instruments, podcasts), it has to this effect a reduction or Omni Switch. It is a micro USB Cardioid Condenser static powered by the PC (5V). Compatible with any PC. Low latency direct, high Omni or multiple sources.
The USB allows drivers to bypass and under certain situations nomads, it''s okay to repair a microphone.
As compared to the Zero points of the previous opinion, I think is important about the material and insulation.
Another advantage necessary: the suspension rather expensive, yet essential, which is not supplied with and for good reason ..
See the tests fair or worse on YouTube.

OVERALL OPINION

Past year, I have more to look, lol.
Yes of course, the little GO USB Mic Samson C01U and.
What I like, I think depending on the version there is more or less plastic. The three have a great vintage look, all-aluminum and brushed steel, it exudes robustness, white is the one who seems more fragile, but in fact it is a very strong resin that complements the Mac colors and new HP .. Black is a bit cold but "pro".
I find it superior in capturing the Samson GB and virtually tied with the C01U for singing and ukulele or guitar. I have not tried yet the G-Track or AKG.
Most, it must be said: his look and the USB side and the mobile switch gear and suspension option, alas.
Cons: Like all USB microphones, it does not equal a good static XLR with a good preamp. Attention compared to its competitors, it is large, providing a small valise.il unsuitable been in a group, as already stated, it is dedicated to singing, guitar, stringed instruments, and also Podcast (documentaries, reportages , dialogues actors).
The value price is right and I would do this choice.
