Posted on November 8, 2008 at 6:53 am (PST)

Blue Microphone, purveyors of professional audio gear, have announced the Icicle: A USB to XLR audio adapter. This XLR-to-USB audio interface offers 48V phantom power, an analog preamp with gain control and the option to work with nearly any XLR microphone. The sound quality rests in the 16-bit / 44.1kHz range. This looks to be a quick and easy way to capture some noise with a condenser mic. The unit will be available sometime in December at a suggested retail price of $60.
