USB microphone for streaming and calls

The Belkin 988-000071 is a wired USB microphone designed for voice capture on desktop computers. It targets streamers, podcasters and remote workers who need clearer audio than a built-in laptop microphone can provide. The cardioid pickup pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the capsule while reducing background noise. Plug-and-play operation means no drivers are required for common communication software.

Cardioid condenser capsule with desktop stand

A custom condenser capsule delivers crystal-clear audio quality for Skype, Discord, Twitch and general recording tasks. The adjustable tripod stand lets you position the microphone close to the sound source for optimal clarity. Headroom is sufficient for solo voice work, streaming and video calls in a quiet room. The single-pattern design runs out when you need omnidirectional or bidirectional pickup for group discussions or instrument recording.

Skype and Discord certified USB connection

The microphone connects via USB and carries Skype and Discord certification for guaranteed compatibility with those platforms. It works with any software that recognises a standard USB audio input device. The fixed cardioid pattern means this model is not for users who require switchable polar patterns or onboard gain control. Weighing 460 grams, the unit stays stable on the supplied stand during use.

Questions about this item

Will the USB microphone work with my existing desktop audio interface and headphones?

The Snowball iCE connects directly via USB and does not require an external audio interface; it works alongside your current headphones for monitoring.

How can I verify the cardioid pickup pattern is active after plugging it in?

In your recording software, select the Snowball iCE as the input device; the level meter should respond primarily to sound in front of the capsule, confirming the cardioid pattern.

Does the box include a pop filter or shock mount, or do I need to buy them separately?

The package contains the microphone, an adjustable desktop tripod stand and the USB cable; a pop filter and shock mount are not included and must be purchased separately.
