Blue Microphone Yeti USB Microphone

The Blue Yeti USB Microphone employs a unique, tri-capsule design and the ability to capture audio in up to 16-bit, 48 kHz resolution. This studio-quality microphone is highlighted by a mic with an integrated headphone amp that's backed by an independent gain control for latency-free monitoring. Other features include microphone gain control, an instant mute function and an included stand that allows for pivoting in a variety of angles for ideal placement.

Versatile Applications

A versatile microphone that's great for recording vocals, podcasts, music, interviews and even college lectures, depending on your sound source, this foldable microphone also allows the listener to select between stereo, cardioid, omnidirectional, or bi-directional polar patterns for optimal results. Additionally, the Yeti is Mac and Windows compatible and includes a USB cable which lets you plug it in and record.

Total Recording Control with Yeti

Yeti features studio controls for headphone volume, pattern selection, instant mute and microphone gain putting you in charge of every level of the recording process. If you're experiencing distortion or feedback while recording an especially loud source like the deafening sound of an avalanche simply adjust the microphone's sensitivity with the gain control. Or if you want to take a break in the middle of a podcast, use the instant mute button. The microphone comes equipped with a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack that allows you to listen to what you're recording in real-time, without latency delays that means no more hearing a note 3 seconds after you played it. You can adjust the volume of your headphones using the control on the front of the microphone.

Innovative Design Makes Recording Easy

Yeti doesn't mind getting pushed around it lets you adjust and pivot the microphone in relation to the sound source, which optimizes your sound quality. Once you've achieved the desired angle, simply hand-tighten the set knobs to secure it in place. Yeti is a side-address microphone, so you can capture the best sound by going face-to-face with it. The microphone can also be folded down for easy portability, or removed completely from its base for mounting directly on a mic stand or Radius II shockmount.

Hassle-Free Setup

Simply plug Yeti into your computer's USB port with the included USB cable, calibrate it with your operating system, and you're ready to record rain, shine or snow. Yeti offers driver-free operation, while the Yeti Pro requires easy-to-install drivers, available from Blue.

Start Recording Quickly

Who needs a learning curve? Yeti was designed with a convenient, no-hassle workflow in mind. Set up in seconds with the included desktop stand or connect directly to a mic stand. Adjust microphone gain, pick up pattern, headphone volume, or mute/unmute with easy-to-reach controls. And record in comfort with Yeti's side-address operation.

Four Different Pattern Modes for Versatile Recording

The stereo mode uses both the left and right channels, and is ideal for capturing a realistic, general sound image. Well-suited for podcasts, vocals, or game streaming, the cardioid mode records sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone. It delivers a rich, full-bodied sound. The omnidirectional mode picks up sound equally from all directions. It's best used in situations when you want to capture the ambience of 'being there' like a live recording of a band's performance.

Knox Gear Pop Filter

The Knox Gear Large Pop Filter is perfect for use with recording, podcasting, and streaming microphones. It's a guard used by amateurs and professionals to achieve clearer audio recordings by eliminating 'popping' sounds from P's and B's. It also keeps saliva from hitting the microphone.
