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.

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

Firing up the Yeti for Season 4 of the podcast! We’ve got some big plans, and we’re excited for another fun season of discourse. Plans for this month include Game of Thrones and Avengers discussion and debates, as well as our first Interview Ep! #MyYetiStory

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.

Best-Selling Premium
USB Microphone ^*

Trusted by millions of creators and streamers, Blue Yeti is the #1 best-selling USB microphone for YouTube, Twitch, podcasting and more. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to upgrade, Yeti delivers crystal-clear audio that’s light-years ahead of your built-in computer mic.

* Based on independent sales data (April ’19 - March ’20) of PC Microphones in both units and dollars in the US and Canada.

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.
