Setting up your Snowball iCE
The Snowball iCE features a unique swivel mount located on the bottom center of the mic body. Be sure to
mount the Snowball iCE on its included desktop stand or on a standard-thread counter-weighted tripod mic
stand. For reduction of low-frequency rumble and additional positioning options, mount the Snowball iCE
in the Blue Ringer, available from your authorized Blue dealer or at our online store: www.bluemic.com/
store. Be sure to position the Snowball iCE over the center leg of the stand to further prevent tipping. Once
mounted, you can gently pivot the Snowball iCE back and forth for optimum positioning in front of the
sound source.
Once safely mounted, connect the Snowball iCE to the USB port on your Macintosh or Windows computer
(the Snowball iCE is USB 1.0 and 2.0 compatible). If you’re using an iPad, you’ll need Apple’s iPad Camera
Connection Kit for USB connectivity. Make sure that the active, on-axis side of the diaphragm (the side with
the Blue logo) is facing the desired source. When connected, the LED just above the Blue logo will glow
red, indicating power has reached the Snowball iCE and it is ready to record. Now you’re ready to set
up your Snowball iCE on either your Mac or PC.
