USB Condenser Microphone for Streaming

The Logitech 988-000070 Snowball iCE is a USB condenser microphone built for streaming, podcasting and voice communication. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the capsule while reducing background noise. Plug-and-play operation works on PC and Mac without driver installation. The adjustable desktop stand lets you position the microphone for optimal voice capture.

Sustained Recording Performance

The microphone maintains consistent clarity during long sessions thanks to its custom condenser capsule and fixed cardioid pattern. A frequency response of 40 Hz to 18 kHz captures vocal detail across the usable speech range. Recording at 44.1 kHz and 16-bit resolution provides CD-quality digital audio without compression artefacts. The wired USB connection eliminates latency or dropout risk during extended broadcasts.

Upgrade from Built-in Microphones

This model replaces integrated laptop or monitor microphones that pick up keyboard noise, fan hum and room echo. The dedicated capsule and directional pattern deliver a noticeable improvement for voice calls, streaming and basic content creation. Users needing multiple pickup patterns, hardware gain control or XLR connectivity will require a different microphone. The off-white finish suits light-themed desk setups.

Questions about this item

Does the Snowball iCE get hot or draw much power when I leave it running all day?

It is a passive USB condenser microphone with no active cooling and no published power-draw figure, so it stays at room temperature and draws only the standard 5 V bus current.

What do I already need to own for the Snowball iCE to work?

A computer with a free USB-A port running Windows or macOS — the microphone is plug-and-play and requires no extra drivers, audio interface or phantom power supply.

Will the Snowball iCE work alongside my older USB 2.0 hub and legacy headset?

Yes — the mic uses a standard USB 1.1/2.0 connection, so it enumerates on any USB-A hub or port without conflicting with other audio devices.
