Q: QuestionI need to record in meeting situations. It might be a small room with 8-10 people, or larger room with 50-60 people. Will this mic pick up voices from a distance (assuming the speaker has some volume?
Asked by Golfclubguy.
- A:Answer Hi, The Snowball mic I bought switches between a cardoid pattern (which is good for recording a single source and eliminating "off axis" noise) and an omni directional pattern which will probably be good for a small room. I can not speak to sensitivity and can not tell you how far away a spoken source can be recorded. I would suggest setting a microphone up and testing it from various distances while walking around the room. It will certainly be better than the condenser mic built into your laptop but will not be as good as setting up several room mics recording simultaneously but that would require setting levels and balancing. the question turns to one of "what software are you recording with?" I would try it and then determine if I need a second or third mic in different areas of the room. Keep in mind that these snowball mics are usb mics and are great for quick recordings and quick set up but require a computer. Sound quality and background noise are not perfect. If you are looking for "studio" quality, these mics might not be your best bet but if you are looking to capture comments for keeping records, it will probably suit your needs but you might need more than one. I expect mic placement might come into play. Particularly if you plan a question/answer session. I just threw these thoughts down. I hope they help.

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with my Mac Book Air? I need a better sound quality for recording a yoga session then my built in microphone. I have to position the laptop about 8 feet away. Will this give better quality audio under these circumstances?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, the Snowball microphone will work with your MacBook Air! You are just going to need an adapter to convert the USB-A on the microphone to the Lightning port on your MacBook Air. Once you have that connection, this is a perfect solution for a Yogi!

Q: QuestionDoes this work for xbox?
Asked by Me.
- A:Answer This is a very late response but hopefully it helps others avoid making a mistake costing them time and money. NO, THIS MICROPHONE WILL NOT WORK ON XBOX CONSOLES. The other comment stating it will is blatantly false and serves only to cause harm in the form of wasted time and money. Without the necessary drivers to tell the device receiving the signal from the microphone what to do with the data, it is nothing more than a neat paperweight. Xbox does not use typical device drivers found in Windows or MacOS. So once again, NO, this product is not for use on consoles.
