We Will Beat Any Price - Guaranteed!
Black, Coiled Package

SoundTech's LightSnake USB Microphone cable is really a "sound card in a cable" and digital music recording has never been easier. Just plug in your microphone and start recording in CD quality. You can start your own music production straight out of the package. The cable is an XLR microphone to USB cable which is ideal for vocal recording or podcasting.

An embedded 16 Bit Analog to Digital converter with audio signal boost ensures extremely low audio loss and 48/44.1 KHz Sampling Rate provides you with high audio quality while recording. The HSDL (Host Side Data Loss) Noise Reduction function prevents any unwanted noise when converting the audio signal to digital format and saving to your computer.

The LightSnake cable features SoundTech's patented "Live when Lit" technology cable ends that glow when connected properly and flash indicating when sound is being transmitted. The simplicity of these cables and their price point make the digital recording arena accessible to every one.

The audio cable is packaged with a DVD that contains 30 day trail versions of all of Sony Media Software titles, including Sound Forge, Acid, Vegas , etc. This addition makes the cable a complete solution right out of the box. Mac users are not left out as GarageBand recording software is on every new Macintosh sold.

This is a true USB plug-n-play connection. No additional drivers are needed for the following operating systems Win 98 SE / Win ME / Win 2000 /Win XP and Mac OS9 / OS X. An ASIO driver is forthcoming for recording software that implements this technology.

Does NOT produce a clear sound. Don't waist your time. Buying a USB powered condenser mic would be better. May cost a little more, but at least it will work. This product does NOT work well with phantom power. I repeat, purchase at your own risk.

I bought mine right after 2006 CES, plugged it in and use it as my primary mic cable for PC/Skype use. No hassles, works every time. Cheap and easy solution for XLR mic wiring to PC.

I picked this up [Actually the 1/4" to USB Lazysnake] at my local Target [har har] as a quick little temporary cable to record.

I got mine for like 25USD and excepted nothing spectacular, and thats what it is. Pure junk. I'd have it hooked up to my ER mkII, and the hats were of such ridiculous quiet levels. Aside from that, there was massive hiss and noise occurring in background.

Pretty much I'd say its garbage. I picked it up for cheap [which it is] and haven't used it beyond piecing ideas together. I can't wait for my Delta 1010 to arrive..

this product is a must have for any garage band. and it works amazing with the program garageband by apple especially if you have a good dynamic mic. and you can get just as good if not better quality w/out the use of a phantom power or any of that complicated crap.
