A good look at the Blue Snowball

WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT

It has good amplification levels and the noise rejecting pick-up patterns make it ideal for bedroom use in urban areas.

Its ideal for interviews/podcasts with its omnidirectional field polarity, the proximity is not as restrictive as some models and the analog to digital conversion is pretty authentic sounding.
