The Yeti uses Blue Microphone's proprietary tri-capsule technology to produce pristine, studio-quality recordings.

Using Blue Microphone's proprietary tri-capsule technology, the Yeti can record sounds that range from the barely audible to the deafeningly loud--all without a loss of fidelity. Depending on what kind of sound you are recording, you can choose from four distinct pattern modes:

With its controls for headphone volume, pattern selection, instant mute, and microphone gain, the Yeti puts you in charge of every level of the recording process. If you are 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.
The microphone comes equipped with a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack and allows you to listen to what you're recording in real-time, without latency delays. You can adjust the volume of your headphones using a control on the front of the microphone.
The Yeti features a visual design inspired by classic recording equipment--a stylish, retro aesthetic that will complement any computer system. Its metal grille and shiny, chrome-toned frame recall the look of old-timey microphones.
Because it's built on a hinge, you can adjust and pivot the microphone in relation to the sound source, improving sound quality. Once you have it at a desired angle, you can use the set screws to secure it in place. The microphone can also be folded down for easy portability, or removed completely from its base for field recordings.
The Yeti requires no complicated drivers to operate; simply plug it into your computer's USB port with the included USB cable, calibrate it with your operating system, and you're ready to record.
The microphone is compatible with 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Mic...too bad the knobs are bad build quality,
This review is from: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone (Electronics)
I love everything about this mic...not a bad thing to say about it...EXCEPT...it seems like the knobs (especially the mic gain and headphone volume knob) were put together after the budget was already spent on the rest of the unit. The knobs move too freely inside the cavity and as you turn them they often touch the sides almost scraping as they rotate. This makes a perfect USB microphone less than perfect in my humble opinion, and thus worthy of only 4 stars instead of 5.

Yeti - highs and lows,,
By B. R. T. (Canada/North America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone (Electronics)
I bought this mic, when it was on sale. Good price, it worked very well and sounded good. I was quite excited to use it on skype calls. Then, the computer went to sleep and the microphone wouldn't wake up, even when it was unplugged and replugged. If I wanted to use the Yeti, the computer had to be rebooted. I searched the internet for solutions. How to keep a USB port awake, not sure how much power it draws but my computer doesn't like it. So it sits on my desk, unplugged, most of the time.As for the issue of taking over the audio inputs and outputs, yes sorta. I went in the control panel -> clicked on -> sound icon, on the play back tab, reselected my speakers (x-fi)output -> clicked on playback tab, made sure the yeti was selected Default. That was it. It takes over the audio properties on your computer, because it has a build-in headphone jack and the tri-capsule array for directional recording. I might have rated it lower, if I was sure it was the microphone and not a weak 5 volt power supply on the USB ports in the computer. I would have rated it higher, if it worked all the time. Well have a good day. and if someone figures out how to keep the Yeti awake and out of hibernation, Write a review somewhere. I will keep searching.

Not all it's cracked up to be.,
This review is from: Blue Microphones Yeti USB Microphone (Electronics)
Bought this a few weeks ago, perfect for recording vocals... not so perfect SPECS wise.Pros: -Great recording quality. -Lightweight and easy to adjust. -Wide selection of recording capabilities. -USB. Cons: -Overrides ALL audio drivers in the system. When I say this, I'm talking about when you first plug it in, it literally takes over any other audio driver in the system. So basically, -Gaming Podcasting = Gone. -FRAPSing a game = Gone. -ANYthing that uses Stereo Mix = Gone. -Having your speakers/headphones plugged into your computer while this is plugged in = Gone. As I summed it up above.... GREAT sound, almost perfect recording quality but bad set up. I give this product a 4/5. This being because I want to be able to use my microphone to record but to game podcast too. Furthermore, I don't want to have to unplug the mic and plug my headphones into my computer anytime I wish to record games/podcast. So unless someone has a bright idea on how to unlock a "Stereo Mix" option while this microphone is plugged in, my rating will stay 4/5. It's ok, but has a major set up flaw. If you DO have a suggestion about Stereo Mix, email me at ffxdestined@gmail.com
