CARDIOID MODE Perfect for podcasting, Twitch streaming, music recording, voice overs and instruments. Cardioid mode records sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone, delivering rich, full-bodied sound.
STEREO MODE Uses both the left and right channels to capture a wide, realistic sound image—ideal for recording acoustic guitar or choir and immersive experiences like ASMR videos.
OMNIDIRECTIONAL MODE Picks up sound equally from all around the mic. It’s best used in situations when you want to capture the ambience of “being there”—like recording a band’s live performance, a multi-person podcast or a conference call.
BIDIRECTIONAL Records from both the front and rear of the microphone—good for recording a duet or a two-person interview.

If you experience distortion or feedback, simply adjust the sensitivity with the gain control. Want to take a break in the middle of a podcast, use the instant suite button!

Blue Yeti USB computer microphone comes equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can listen to what you’re recording in real time. Without delay. You can even adjust the volume of the headset with the control on the front of the mic.

The Design

The Blue Yeti is a robust microphone. It lets you adjust and pivot the mic in relation to the sound source and this optimises the sound quality. Achieve the desired angle and simply hand tighten the set knobs to secure it in place. It is a side address microphone so capture the best sound by going face to face with it. It can be folded down for portability and even removed from the base. So you can use it on a mic stand or on the Radius II shockmount.

Blue Yeti Ease of Use

The USB Blue Yeti Mic was designed with a no hassle easy to use workflow. Set up is in seconds with the desktop microphone stand. Adjust the microphone gain, pick up pattern, headphone volume, mute/unmute right from the mic. Simply plug and play!

The Yeti is a side-address microphone. A side-address microphone accepts sound from an angle perpendicular to the mic—as opposed to a front-address mic, which accepts sound from the “end” of the microphone.
