SoundTech ships LightSnake
SoundTech Professional Audio today began shipping its LightSnake intelligent microphone-to-PC cable with an embedded analog to digital converter and signal booster. The device effectively turns any microphone into a USB microphone, and includes a standard XLR connection on one end with USB connectivity on the other. When connected the LightSnake lights up and flickers while recording, requiring no driver software. SoundTech's LightSnake USB Intelligent Microphone works with Mac OS X and Windows XP, offering digital quality sound input without the need for a sound card, according to the company. LightSnake features include embedded A/D chip technology with an audio signal boost to eliminate the need for additional signal conversion devices; a Sony Media Software demo DVD that includes Acid, Sound Forge, Vegas, and other applications; and full USB 2.0 compatibility for full-speed operation. The device ships with a 10-foot shielded cable for $70.
