Styled in an elegant, camera-ready white, the DS-65 Lollipop from Direct Audio is a workhorse condenser microphone ready for a wide range of vocal recording and podcasting applications. The mic's cardioid polar pattern helps to focus audio capture on the sound source in front of the capsule, picking up less unwanted off-axis sound and room reflections for clearer speech and vocals. The DS-65 features a wide frequency response from 20 Hz up to 20 kHz, ensuring crisp, intelligible results with plenty of bottom-end for a rich, broadcast-ready vocal tone without over-exaggerated "S" sounds to distract your audience.

The DS-65 includes a shockmount that isolates the mic from vibrations and handling noise for smoother recordings without low-end thumps that can ruin a vocal take or podcast. A carrying case is also supplied for storage and transport.

For Vocals, Speech, Podcasting Cardioid Polar Pattern Rich Low-Frequency Response Handles Input up to 130 dB SPL Shockmount Inhibits Vibration Noise Elegant Appearance Includes Case XLR Output to Preamp Operates on 48V Phantom Power

Q: 3. Im trying to record a friends band and the audio from the video cameras is kinda distorted from one camera to the other when editing clips. Can I use this microphone with a usb to lightning adapter for my iPhone 7plus and record the audio or should I use my mac?

A: The Blue Snowball iCE is a great mic but it's mono and ideal for voice-overs or podcasts. I would highly recommend you consider the Zoom IQ7 (B&H# ZOIQ7). It has the ability to connect directly to the lighting port of your iPhone and record high quality stereo audio.

Q: 4. Just wondering how long the USB cable is.

A: The 6- foot USB cable is included.

Q: 5. can this be used for 2 people?

A: The Snowball features two pickup pattern options, cardioid which is a more focused narrow pickup from the front of the mic, and an omni-directional pickup which captures sound evenly from all sides of the mic. This can be used for multiple subjects when placed correctly.

A: Godox Parabolic Reflector (Silver, 65") front diameter is 63'' when the umbrella is open.

Q: 9. Does this microphone amplify background sounds?

A: The Snowball does not amplify background sound, however when used with the Omni pattern selection will pickup up equally on all sides of the mic covering a wide area. Cardioid pattern will offer the most directional pickup without capturing much surrounding ambience.

Q: 10. hi is this umbrella will fit colbor cl60 65w led?

A: Thank you for your question, unfortunately the COLBOR CL60R RGB COB LED Monolight does not have an umbrella mount, however your can use Bowen-S mount Soft-boxes like https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1736570-REG/colbor_colbor_bp90_quick_setup_parabolic_softbox_with.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1342036-REG/godox_sb_nbm_octa140_sb_nbm_octa_140cm_softbox.html Or you can also look at https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1785042-REG/colbor_cl220r_220w_rgb_cob_led.html that does have an umbrella mount.

[48 V] Audio sounds great for the price. I’ve had no issues at all. Mostly used in Discord. The headphones aren’t great but fine for basically a freebie when I mostly wanted the mic and usb phantom power. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a budget condenser mic! 5

[Phantom Power] I primarily use this mic when I record screencasts for trainings, software demonstrations, and when doing video game commentary. I really like the voice quality and I don't have that great of radio voice but this mic helps smooth out some of the rough edges of my voice. I was surprised how sturdy this mic is compared too the images in the product description. It is an all-metal housing and the grill covering the mic is actually wire mesh, which I though was only cloth at first. The included USB cable is about 8 feet long so you have plenty of room to move this about. I haven't tried using the built-in monitor jack because I find it distracting when recording. We use MXL Micmate USB to XLR adapters and MXL condenser mics so I was originally going to purchase a different mic and the Micmate. I saved money by buying the Tempo and have the same results with less equipment. 5

[White] I've had the Pro-Co Sound DB-1 for only a couple of weeks, so I can't speak to its durability except to say that it's built quite sturdily. Time will tell. But so far it's doing exactly what I hoped it would do -- improve my sound dramatically. I play bass in my church. The sound booth and mixing board are a long way from the stage and the unbalanced signal from my instrument cable was degrading by the time it reached its destination. The DB-1 is a passive direct box that converts the unbalanced signal from my bass to a balanced one. The minute I plugged into it my sound became much punchier and crisper. The occasional pops and crackles that had plagued my sound before all but disappeared and were replaced with a much cleaner and more consistent tone. I'd never used a direct box before. Now I'm wondering what took me so long. The DB-1 was recommended to me over other brands by the sound techs from our local association. It is simple to use: Just connect the cables, flip a switch and play. I am currently plugging into the DB-1 and then directly into the house mix. But the DB-1 also includes a parallel signal output that will allow me to continue connecting to the main board via an XLR cable, while connecting a second TS cable to amplifier. I am considering going that route and connecting to a small amp for use as a monitor (I currently have a piano player located between me and the side-fill monitor I've been using). Again, I've only had this box for two weeks. But so far I'm thrilled with the results and can't imagine playing without one. No downside so far. Thanks Pro Co, and thumbs-up for a great product. 5

[48 V] I use this DI for recording bass through a MOTU 828mk audio interface to Pro Tools. Great results. Very well made and easy to use. 5
