Using the Blue Snowball Microphone
We have deployed a Snowball microphone on a height-adjustable stand to most Hill classrooms and teachable indoor spaces.
The Snowball has two distinct uses:
- as a vocal mic for superior audio quality for video voice-overs, Zoom sessions, and other occasions where your voice needs to be clear and crisp;
- as an omnidirectional mic for capturing class discussions.
On the back of the Snowball is a small switch found above the cable connection.
For our intended usage cases @ Riverdale, switch position 1 is for close vocals, position 3 for classroom & groups.
For vocal use, position the microphone a bit lower than mouth level, either standing or sitting.
Here is an image of the model we're using at RCS. It is glossy black in color, and sits on a floor mic stand with a weighted base.
A 16' USB cable connects the microphone to the Anker USB-C hub for use in class. Read more about this technology on the Hybrid Classroom AV page.
