Key Features Power Required/ Consumption: 5V 500m A (USB) 4V DC (Analogue) Polar Patterns: Cardioid, Bidirectional, Omnidirectional, Stereo Frequency Response: 20 Hz Â- 20k Hz Weight: (microphone) 1.2 lbs/0.55kg (stand) 2.2 lbs/1 kg Dimensions: 12 x 12.5 x 29.5 cm (extended in stand) Ultimate microphone for professional USB (Universal Serial Bus) & XLR recording The Yeti Pro is the world's first USB (Universal Serial Bus) microphone combining 24 bit/192 k Hz digital recording resolution with analog XLR output. Featuring three custom condenser capsules & four different pattern settings, the Yeti Pro can capture digital audio with up to four times the clarity found on CDs. Plus, the Yeti Pro features a cutting-edge A-D converter chip & separate analog circuit path for use with professional studio mixers & pre-amps. You also get a built-in headphone amplifier for zero-latency monitoring, & direct controls for headphone volume, pattern selection, mute, & microphone gain. So whether you record at home, in a studio (or in the Himalayas!), the Yeti Pro is your ultimate sound solution. Legendary Features The legend of the Yeti continues with the most advanced & versatile multi-pattern USB (Universal Serial Bus) microphone roaming the wild today. The Yeti Pro features tools & recording capabilities usually requiring multiple microphones & devices, all with the simplicity of a plug 'n play USB (Universal Serial Bus) microphone. Desktop or studio, the possibilities are endless You can quickly select from each of Yeti Pro's four pattern settings (stereo, cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional) by simply rotating the pattern selector knob. The chart below shows each pattern's symbol, sound source direction, & suggested recording applications. For a more in-depth look at each pattern, please refer to the detailed descriptions & frequency response charts further down the page. Stereo The Stereo mode is great for capturing a realistic stereo image. To start, point the microphone at the sound source that you want to record (the "front" of the microphone is the side of the microphone with the Blue Microphones Logo). Depending on the instrument and/or sound that you want to achieve, place the grill of the microphone anywhere from 2 inches to several feet in front of the sound source. By centering the sound source, you will get equal amounts of signal in both the left & right channels. If you want a little more of the signal in the right channel, move the sound source a little to the right side of the mic (as if one is behind the microphone), & if you want a little more of the signal in the left channel, move the sound source to the left (as if you are behind the microphone). Alternatively, you can record everything as centered as possible, & easily adjust the position when you're mixing the recording. If you want the sound in the right or left channel only, you should try using the cardioid, bidirectional or the omnidirectional setting, & use your software to hard-pan the sound to the left or the right. Cardiod Cardioid is the most commonly used mode & can be useful in most any situation. If you are recording vocals, a podcast, or a voice-over, cardioid is likely your best choice. When recording in cardioid, sound directly in front of the microphone is picked up while the sound at the rear & sides of the microphone is not picked up. Therefore, you will want to arrange the source directly in front of the microphone. Cardioid will deliver the most direct, rich sound, but will not offer as much airiness or presence as the other recording modes. Omnidirectional Omnidirectional means that the microphone picks up sound equally from all directions. This setting is perfect for recording a group of musicians all playing at the same time, recording a conversation between multiple parties around a room, a conference call, or any other situations where you want to capture the ambiance of 'being there.' Because sound is picked up from all directions in this mode, the orientation of the microphone isn't crucial, but as a good rule of thumb, start by orienting the front of the microphone at the primary sound source you wish to record. Bidirectional Bidirectional means that the microphone picks up sound at the front & rear of the microphone, while the sounds to the sides are "rejected", or not picked up. The bidirectional setting is very useful in achieving a nuanced, pleasant sound when recording musical instruments, & is perfect for recording an interview with two or more guests. By placing the microphone between two or more subjects (front of microphone facing one source, rear of microphone facing another), you can achieve a natural sound without the complexity of using multiple microphones. Blue Microphone Blue Microphones was founded in 1995 to improve the front-end of audio recording by utilizing the increased bandwidth benefits enabled by digital technology. Advances in digital processing (e.g. extended frequency response, dynamic range, project recording capability) fundamentally changed the recording process as well as the potential for microphone performance. Basing many of their concepts, designs, & technology on knowledge gleaned from years of repairing & improving classic microphones from a wide variety of manufacturers, but by simultaneously integrating new technologies, materials & a first-hand knowledge of today's recording process, Blue began to pioneer the perfect analog input devices for the digital age. Starting with state-of-the-art technology that ensures the purest possible signal path & Class A fully discrete circuitry with no ICs, pads, or filters, each microphone is designed to fill a specific role in a recording repertoire. Every single design contains its own propriety capsule that is h&-tested & approved to capture specific sonic signatures in specific ways. The first proprietary design, the Blueberry (Electronic Musician 2000 Editor's Choice Microphone of the Year) was designed & engineered at the behest of John Gass, a Grammy award-winning engineer/mixer, who asked Blue if it was possible to create a contemporary pop vocal mic that also substantially eliminated the need to spend hours "EQing" or over-processing the signal source. The Blueberry's success led to future Blue designs that focused solely on delivering the best possible reproduction of specific vocal or instrument types. The result is a portfolio of professional microphones that create a palette of sounds, enabling artists to realize the sonic landscape of their vision. At the turn of the millennium, after receiving an early version of Apple's software program Garage Band TM, the team at Blue realized that project studio recording presented the next revolution of the recording industry. Believing that the lack of a high-quality USB (Universal Serial Bus) microphone to protect the signal source would slow down this revolution, Blue developed the Snowball, now the 1 selling wired condenser microphone in the world. Throughout the development process, the Snowball was designed specifically with musicians in mind; however, people very quickly began to adopt the product for consumer applications, such as podcasting, chat, & narration. Out of this, Blue's line of consumer audio products was born, solidifying Blue's belief that everyone, everywhere should have access to great audio. Blue is 100% committed to getting the very best microphones in the world into the hands of those who have a passion for high quality audio; this is our heritage & will always be the core focus of everything we do. We also realize that great sound enhances every environment, & for this reason Blue has leveraged its pro-audio DNA to launch a line of products catering to life outside the studio. These include high-quality USB (Universal Serial Bus) products for both Mac & PC, iPod accessories, & an XLR-to-USB converter that allows everyone to take advantage of the quality & performance inherent in every Blue microphone on their computer. From the uncompromising & revolutionary Bottle to the HD audio/video Eyeball webcam, every single product reflects Blue's rare expertise & inimitable design sense. We encourage you to audition each Blue microphone to discover the ideal sonic character for your audio needs. ...
