User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with ps4 & xbox one
Answer:	would not work for ps4 slim, not recognized. Until I rebooted the ps4 with the mic plugged in. evidently some kind of driver or config is adjusted, as it is now recognized and works.
Question:	I hope this does not sound like a stupid question but am i suppose to hear my voice like a normal mic or not
Answer:	go to your sound settings, then recording devices and on your snowball mic right click and go to properties. you want to find the settings where it says "hear this mic"
Question:	USB real estate is at a premium on my PC. Is there one of these that DON'T plug into USB? That is, it plugs into the regular mic port
Answer:	It's a USB Only microphone. If USB real estate is at a premium on your PC, buy an External USB Port Hub. I bought one, takes one of the 3 USBs my laptop has, gives me 8 additional.
Question:	For singing videos, is it better to have the iCE or the regular Snowball
Answer:	From what I've heard, the snowball does actually sound quite reasonably better. I suppose it'll have to be because of a number of reasons, 1 being that there's a $10-20 diffrence, and that this is marketed as a "Skype mic." I also believe that the blue snowball has wider diversity in colour. The blue snowball also features 3 different "modes" or polar patterns.First being a cardiod setting, a standard pickup pattern in most condenser mics, very handy. Mainly picks out sound in a heart shaped radius in front of the mic. Second setting is a cardiod, 10db pad. Good for loud sources, getting up close to the talent. The third and final setting is the omnidirectional setting. "Omni" meaning more than one, in this instance more than one direction. In this setting, the mic will pic up sound from all directions.doing so will loose some sound quality but maybe useful for recording a board meeting. Overall the blue snowball iCE is a great, compact usb microphone, for the tight budget market, or in other words a blue snowball, minus a few features and cheaper sound quality.

User questions & answers

Question:	does it work on ps
Answer:	I will opt for dynamic microphones for choir church band
Question:	Is there a link for the drivers
Answer:	No, these microphones operate on the UHF wireless spectrum. For example, Shure H10 Band is 542-572 MHz, which is below the 2.4GHz band. Be sure to check on Shure Wireless Frequency Finder page to see which band works best in your geographical area. Here's the link. https://www.shure.com/en-US/support/tools/frequency-finder
Question:	Does this product have a mute button
Answer:	Do you mean a single channel wireless system? The BLX14/CVL? In either case, yes, you will be able to run both systems simultaneously. Each frequency band of the BLX can run numerous transmitters at the same time without interfering with each other. If you also happen to have the BLX14/CVL, you can also purchase the BLX288/PG58 in the same frequency band so that you can have back up transmitters/receivers in case any of them fail.
Question:	Can I press the on board control to mute the mic
Answer:	Shure wireless receivers provide both XLR and 1/4" output for each channel. For the case of the dual channel receiver, you will need 2 cables.

User questions & answers

Question:	Bm-800 we can connect with iPhone is it possible
Answer:	I have no idea what you mean.
Question:	Dose it work with a xbox one
Answer:	Maybe if you buy a phantom power supply and have an XLR to 3.5mm cable. I would assume so, since the xbox one takes aux. You might need a splitter or something
Question:	Does this have everything to just be able to plug into a computer and record
Answer:	The quick and simple answer is “yes,” but I bought a mixing board and have plugged the three that I purchased directly into that. However, one of the appealing aspects of this package is the little plug that has a headphone jack AND individual volume control as it goes into the computer. Prior to buying these mics, I had purchased two of the marantz podcast kits. Those also plug directly into the usb ports. The swing arms on the marantz mics have a much more secure base/desk attachment than these mics, so, please, handle these with care. All in all, these are really quite nice microphones, and the mounting systems are a nice touch. Hope this helps.
Question:	Do this work on a karaoke machine
Answer:	I brought one and it did not work. I needed it to use on some vocal work. Had them replace it and that didn't work either. You get what you pay for. I did read that it should work with a karaoke machine.

User questions & answers

Question:	This microphone has some noise? (like wind noise during recording, which have some microphones) or it records cleanly, without any noise
Answer:	Currently I am not doing any recording, just live training on line and none of my students have said anything about wind noise, in fact they have found the sound great on their end. And my mic is a about a foot in front my TV speaker and there is no speaker noise when they talk. Hope this helps. I will test some recording items andbreturn.
Question:	can i control the sensitivity of the microphone, like to make it more louder or quieter
Answer:	This mic does not have any sensitivity controls, it relies on the system audio settings or, i recommend a preamp to run it through to adjust recording quality.
Question:	Can this work with ps
Answer:	Haven't tried yet so not sure. It does have a usb that would fit into the ps4
Question:	is this the best choice for voice dictation on windows 10 - rather not use a headset at work leaves my hair looking like I lost a fight with a chicken
Answer:	Feel really sorry about your hair, but dont worry, I will get over it. I use it on a Mac (they are just as annoying as PCs) and I am happy with the microphone. No downloading software, it works right away. It has a nice long boom arm, so it is easy to get it out of the way. That is very important for me because I have long beard. I used to go to conferences and gave talks. Those clip-on microphones they use there generally diappeared in my beard. There must be about 10 of them by now. So, I always have to be carefule with what I am saying.

Stability - The BM-800 shock mount's spider suspension isolates your studio microphone from handling and floor noise by decoupling it from the rest of your room.

Cardioid Pattern - Cardioid is the most widely used pattern in professional microphones. It provides reliable performance in both stage and studio settings.
