Icicle from Blue Microphones is a simple way to connect a microphone directly to a computer. Featuring a microphone preamp and a USB interface, the Icicle works with both dynamic and condenser microphones.
The preamp has a fully balanced, low-noise front end, provides 48V phantom power, analog level control, and requires no drivers or external converters to operate.
I used the Icicle only a handful of times, but every single time I used it, it honestly blew me away with how clear and transparent the signal came through in the recording and just how easy it was to setup and operate! - Ryan
