Capture flawless sound with the custom-designed cardioid capsule. This capsule delivers crystal-clear audio and helps to reject unwanted noises and sounds from the rear and sides, focusing solely on your voice, instrument, or any other subject you wish to capture.

In podcasting, streaming, and content creation applications, this helps to cut out room noise like computer tapping, fans, and room reflections. On stage, this helps avoid potentially performance-killing feedback between the microphone and the live sound amplification system.

The YDM series dynamic mics include an advanced insulator made with Yamaha's proprietary materials for a reduced handling noise. Now you can perform your heart out without worrying about sacrificing clarity or audio quality with annoying pops and thuds that can arise from handling the mic.

Q: 2. I'm getting a lot of handling noise with this mic. Does anyone have a suggestion/best practices on how to minimize, or eliminate, the handling noise? I almost can't use the audio recorded because of this issue.

A: Swap out the XLR cable. The mic shouldn't be generating much handling noise in normal use. I'm on my second one now after taking my original one around the world doing interviews for six years, and finally retired it. The most likely cause is a bad connection inside the XLR connector on the mic end of the cable, since that's where most of the stress is placed in routine use.
