Where do you put it?

The Snowball features a unique swivel mount located on the bottom center of the mic body. Be sure to mount the Snowball on the Blue Snowball desktop tripod or on a standard-thread counter-weighted tripod mic stand. And for reduction of low-frequency rumble and additional positioning options, mount the Snowball in the Blue Ringer, available from your authorized Blue dealer. Though the Snowball is extremely durable, we would hate to see it fall due to an inad- equate stand. Also, be sure to position the Snowball over the center leg of the tripod to further prevent tipping. Once mounted, you can gently pivot the Snowball back and forth for optimum positioning in front of the sound source.

HEADS UP!: Forceful positioning of the swivel mount can ! result in damage not covered by the warranty, so there.
