    Blue Icicle XLR to USB Mic Converter/Mic Preamp

    • It made my expensive mic sound crappy
    • I have a recording sound proof room, a very nice mic (according to the internet and reviews
    • "blue microphones lcicle xlr to usb mic converter/mic preamp" easy to use with blue microphones baby bottle cardioid condenser microphone.
    • Guitar center told me the only way to connect my mic to my computer was either an expensive converter box or a usb mic
    • its good, but i believe using the preamps would be better, because through this blue icicle, it still doesnt sound as clear as how the mic should sound like
    • Now I just plug my favorite mic into my "Blue Icicle" and I am recording
    • I have a Behringer condenser mic, about the least expensive mic you can find, but it sounded great before and it sounds great through the blue icicle.
    • It works wonders, the only downside is my mic looked like a vibrator wand.
    • I tried it with my Rode Procaster Dynamic Mic and could not get high enough levels without practically yelling into the mic
    • I have been using a standard XLR to USB cable with my Shure 58 dynamic mic, which works okay, except for an annoying hissing noise that accompanies the majority of my vocal recordings.
    • I bought this along with the Rode NTG2 Shotgun Mic to improve the sound quality of my screencasts
    • mic??i have one dynamic panasonic mic ,but when i record any vocal song ,and play it the sound volume recorded is very low,so i wanna applifiy my sound while recording.so that i can hear a high volume audio/song.do reply
    • I have a pretty cheap mic and the icicle made it seem like I had a good mic
    • Its about same as using a cable right from a dynamic mic to your mic-in on an on-board sound card
    • Thank q Amazon for the best Mic to lap interface product
    • I have a pretty cheap mic and the icicle made it seem like I had a good mic
    • Plug it in, plug in your mic, and twist the knob till you get the sound quality you want
    • Well I always wanted to buy a expensive Mic but didnt want to spend $200 more on a USB Pre-
    • The whole thing lights up blue when it's plugged in, so if you love blue, this mic's for you.
    • I use a low budget dynamic mic and the Icicle gives the right boost for PC recording
    • your mic and your Mac anywhere and record easily and the quality is pretty darned good too.
    • Nice, clean, "transparent" sound without much coloring with my Electrovoice stage mic
    • so maybe Blue Mic has corrected that issue
    • Thankfully it didn't blow my mic
    • Buy this for that skype and stuff if you already have a mic but for real just buy a headset with attached mic because then you still have a adequate mic and Headphones most likely for the same price as this Icicle
    • The mic preamp works fine if your looking for something cheap, and reliable, works fine for me, have had no problems
    • Can't get much out of this tool other than making an expensive mic sound no better than a cellphone headset mic
    • It sounded like the right solution for using an XLR mic on my laptop and/or PC.
    • so maybe Blue Mic has corrected that issue
    • I do have a condenser mic, but don't like its style.
