Review of the Blue Snowflake USB Microphone
There are various relatively popular audio products in the consumer marketplace, some of which are definitely worthy of notice. Many of them have gained considerable acceptance amongst users, and are generally increasing in reputation and growing a sizable and satisfied customer base. A few of these are really outstanding and worth looking into. On the list of relatively popular products on the market which are in the business of USB Microphones is called The Blue Snowflake.
The designers for this quality mic are the outstanding techies at Blue labs. What the Blue Snowflake brings to its growing like-minded users is helping record by way of USB at a very manageable cost. I'm guessing the cost for two of a good bottle of wine. :)
There are 3 distinctive and noteworthy features that set the Blue Snowflake apart from the competiters. Those three uncommon and chief attributes are that they are very portable and compact, their complete ease of use and that it won't break your pocket-book. Let's discuss every one of those features, in turn.
The whole unit has a case that the mic folds into and pops up using the case as a stand. the whole package will easily fit into a pocket or a briefcase with a lot of room to spare.
The microphone is really easy to use via the USB port. No mixers, preamps or phantom-power is needed. What you'll need is a PC along with some basic software.
With so many pluses you'd ponder the reason why the price-tag is as low as it is. As with many obscure and relatively unknowns, Blue Microphones has managed to edge out some of the competing manufacturers.
There are a couple of major drawbacks to the Snowflake:
1. The sound quality leaves something to be desired and isn't really a great mic for music production. It's primary use will be those who are podcasting, "VOIPING" or using voice recognition software.
2. As well the fact that there's no other solution for holding the mic with a stand. For most uses it works out alright but you're pretty much stuck with having to use the mic sitting on your desktop. (Not you the mic) :)
To sum it all up, The Blue Microphones company has foreseen the consumers demand for these microphones and the need to design and produce a very good product with a lot of really excellent features. It could be well worth investing the time it will take to have a closer look at it, maybe even give it a try. Much further info can be located by the major search engines or stores that have reviews.
