Blue Mics Yeti Blackout Studio Recording System

Yeti features 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, 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 3.5mm headphone jack and allows you to listen to what you're recording in real time, without latency or delay. 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.

Yeti doesn't mind getting pushed around, it lets you adjust and pivot the microphone in relation to the sound source. Once you've achieved the desired angle, simply 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 portability, or removed completely from its base for mounting directly on a mic stand.

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 offers driver-free operation.

Yeti features a tri-capsule microphone array with 3 condenser elements.

Yeti offers multiple pattern selection: cardioid, bi-directional, omni-directional & stereo.

A gain control, mute button, and zero-latency headphone output are built in to the mic.

The mic stand offers a unique, positional design.
