The Blue Snowball makes computer recording easier than ever. Ideal for podcasting, video conferencing, and all-around recording, the Snowball is a USB direct-recording microphone — and it's the next of kin to Blue's unusually hip lineup of spherical microphones. The Snowball is designed for mobile laptop use and for desktop studio use, with its universal drivers for Mac and Windows and its built-in plug-and-play USB connectivity. A stand and USB cable are included, so all you need to start recording is Blue's Snowball and your computer!
