A simple, yet powerfully effective tool for content creators, the Blue Microphones Yeti is a USB mic offering a broadcast-quality sound, a rugged design, and multiple recording modes to suit your needs. The Yeti, offfered here in a blackout finish, has become a go-to mic for people who record podcasts, and who stream on YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Live, and other similar platforms.

The multiple mic modes allow virtually any kind of content creator to do their thing with precision and ease. Use the cardioid setting to reject off-axis noise, minimizing room tone even when speaking directly into the mic. If you're recording with one other guest, select the Bidirectional polar pattern; now, you can speak into the front, while the guest speaks into the back, and the sides of the mic will reject unwanted room noise. Choose omnidirectional to pickup audio all around the capsule, which is great for work that features multiple voices. Finally, a stereo mode is wonderful for ASMR content or for recording music. A desktop stand and a USB cable are included, as is a suite of VO!CE software FX to improve your sound.

This mic is perfect for recording directly to computers, be they mac or windows systems. With the right, separately available adapters, you can also record with Android and iOS devices.

Yeti features 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, 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. Also, the included stand allows for pivoting in a variety of angles for ideal placement, with the added functionality of folding the mic down for storage and transport.

The mic has an integrated headphone amp with an independent gain control for latency-free monitoring. Simply plug your headphones into the mic's 3.5mm input, and you'll hear your broadcast-quality audio in all its glory.

The mic records audio at 16-bit / 48 kHz, giving you the broadcast standard for media playback. On the audio side, the tri-capsule design ensures that whatever mode you choose, the mic will pick up a clear and present sound.

Just plug the Yeti into your computer's USB port with the included USB cable, select it as a device in your recording software, and you're ready to get to work. The Yeti runs off your device's power, so no need to plug it into a wall. With driver-free operation, you won't have to download pesky software to get it up and running.

Blue VO!CE software is included, giving you an array of high-quality vocal filters, FX, and samples to showcase your voice in the best light. You'll find the following FX on hand:

• High-pass filter
• Noise reduction filter
• Expander/gate 
• De-esser
• Voice EQ
• Compression
• Limiter

Q: 8. Does anyone successfully power the blue yeti with wall outlet and record the voice directly to your camera? I have tried iphone and ipad charger, and it only shows power on, but camera shows no audio. Anyone can help?

A: The Blue Yeti is a digital mic that is powered by the USB port of the device it is connected to and can only be used to record audio to digital devices such as Mac and Windows computers, and can also be used with smartphones and tablets when paired with an appropriate adapter. The Yeti cannot be powered with a wall adapter and does not provide a mic level analog audio signal for direct connection to a camera's mic input. However, when using the Yeti with a computer, you can use the headphone output which provides a line level analog audio signal intended for headphones. Just as with a recorder's headphone output, you can use a line-to-mic attenuating cable such as the Kopul ACH4-25MON (B&H # KOACH425MON) or Kopul ACDR-35 (B&H # KOACDR35) for compatibility with a camera's mic level input. If a longer cable is needed to reach the camera's mic input, just add a 3.5mm TRS extension cable such as the Pearstone Stereo Mini Male to Stereo Mini Female Extension Cable - 10' (B&H # PEMMSB110B). As another option, the Blue Yeti Pro USB & XLR Microphone (B&H # BLYETIPRO) provides an analog mic level output signal via XLR as well as a digital output via USB.
