The Yeti works with both Windows and Mac and connects to your computer using a simple USB cable.

Product Features

Total Recording Control With Yeti – Yeti features studio controls for headphone volume, pattern selection, instant mute and microphone gain. If you’re experiencing distortion or feedback, adjust the sensitivity with the gain control. Or if you want to take a break, use the instant mute button. The microphone comes equipped with a 3.5mm headphone jack so you can listen while recording, and lets you adjust the volume of your headphones using the control on the front of the mic.
Innovative Design Makes Recording Easy –Adjust and pivot the microphone in relation to the sound source, which optimizes your sound quality. Once you’ve achieved the desired angle, hand-tighten the set knobs to secure it in place. Yeti is a side-address 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. Yeti is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 8.1/8, Windows 7, Vista, XP (Home and Professional), and Mac OS X (10.4.11 or higher), and requires a minimum of 64 MB of RAM.
Start Recording Quickly – Yeti was designed with a convenient, no-hassle workflow in mind. Set up in seconds with the included desktop 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.
Four Distinct Pattern Modes –
- Cardioid Mode – Perfect for podcasts, game streaming, vocal performances, 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.
- 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.
