FAQ:
What exactly is this Icicle all about?

The Icicle is a XLR to USB microphone preamp.

Is the Icicle compatible with Windows 7 and Vista?

Yes!

Do I need any special software to use the Icicle? Do I need any drivers?

Technically, no. Depending on your application, your OS may have sufficient features to utilize the capabilities of the Icicle. But, to get the most out of your Icicle, you'll want to have some kind of software that allows for digital signal processing and non-linear editing that will accept audio from the USB port. Some examples of these programs are listed below.

Can I use the Icicle with a traditional analog audio mixer?

No. The Icicle features digital output only. It must be connected to a USB port in order to function.

What sample rate and word length does the Icicle use?

The Icicle's digital output is set to 44.1 kHz / 16-bit, just like an audio CD. But this is something that only audio geeks really need to worry about.

How can I select a different sample rate?

Because the Icicle is designed for the greatest ease of operation and setup, sample rate / word length are not user-definable. Sorry, geeks.

Can I use more than one Icicle at a time?

Some audio editing software allows for multiple USB connections. Check with your software vendor-- they should have technical support staff who can answer all of your questions about their product.
