How do you find the sound quality with the Blue Snowball iCE? How much does distance to the mic matter?
(I'm in the market for such a mic, and this one seems good!)
- BirdieNZ 5y agoNot the parent, but the big issue I've had with the Snowball (which I think is an issue with condenser mics in general) is that it picks up way too much audio, so if you don't have a very quiet environment and a good mic boom and shock mount then it will pick up everything. Breathing, keyboard and mouse clicks, a dog barking 3 houses away, a truck going past. I've since switched to an AudioTechnica ATR2100X (cardioid dynamic mic) and have found it sounds much better for the environment I'm in.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoNot sure if you're talking about the Snowball or the cheaper Snowball Ice. I have the Snowball and the sound quality is great. There's a hardware control to switch between narrow/wide pickup.
