Yeti & Yeti Pro - Unsurprisingly Excellent

Yeti for Any Application

From professional podcasting to music recording, Twitch Streaming, and even YouTube videos, Yeti carries your projects to studio-quality heights.

CAPTURE A VARIETY OF SOURCES

Blue Microphones' proprietary tri-capsule technology gives you four distinct pattern modes to choose from:

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.

Pattern Setting Symbol

Sound Source & Direction

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.

Pattern Setting Symbol

Bidirectional

Records from both the front and rear of the microphone—good for recording a duet or a two-person interview.

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.

Yeti computer 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.

#MyYetiStory

I’m still so chuffed to see my YouTube channel grow to over 15K! You guys seriously encourage me so much, and make this so much more fun.
I remember when I first started my channel with little to no knowledge of all the equipment I would need. I used what I had and worked with it, like even using my headset with a mic, for voiceovers. It really wasn’t the best quality so I’ve always stayed away from doing such videos.
I’ve been on a massive learning journey with doing YouTube and this year, Hubby finally upgraded my life with equipment! Investing in better audio has been a dream for so long and I’m so glad to now have my Yeti USB by @bluemicrophones. It’s literally taken my audio to a whole new level for my hair tutorial voiceovers.
I can’t wait to share with you the new content I’ve been working on now with crisp audio! Yay! What hair tutorials would you love to see me do? Let me know below and I’ll add it to my content list.

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 condenser 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.

Yeti is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8 (including 8.1), Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP (Home and Professional), and Mac OS X (10.4.11 or higher), and requires a minimum of 64 MB of RAM*.

The Yeti USB Microphone is backed by a two-year limited warranty.

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 microphone 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—just speak, sing or play into the Yeti on the same side as the Blue logo to capture pro sound.

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.

Accessorize Your Studio

Transform your desktop into a broadcast studio with Compass broadcast boom arm, Radius III shockmount and Yeti, the world’s #1 USB microphone. With professional features, studio sound quality and sophisticated on-camera looks, you have everything you need for professional podcasting, game streaming and voice over work.
