Blue Yeti Pro USB Product Research Summary

Yeti Pro, the first condenser microphone in the Yeti USB microphone family, records ultra-high definition 24-bit/192kHz digital recordings on your desktop and connects to professional recording equipment in the studio.Yeti Pro produces detailed audio that is more than four times greater resolution than a CD—in every recording scenario—thanks to three customized condenser capsules and four distinct pattern configurations. Yeti Pro combines the convenience of USB mics with the flexibility of XLR mics, whether you record at home or in a studio.

Yeti Pro was created with a simple, no-hassle workflow in mind. Set up in seconds with the supplied desktop stand or immediately connect to a microphone stand. With simple controls, you may change the microphone strength, pick up pattern, headphone level, or mute/unmute.

Blue XLR microphones are used in the studios of the world's best artists, and Yeti Pro brings that tradition to your PC. The patented capsule design produces rich, detailed sound, while the superior A-D converter allows you to record high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz music directly to your computer. 

Nothing beats a multi-purpose microphone, and the Blue Yeti is just that. It's unusual to see someone utilizing the same microphone for Zoom conversations, YouTube videos, Twitch streaming, and home studio recording. Everything is done through USB! In other words, it is the best USB microphone available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the purpose of the USB port on the bottom of this microphone? Is it a micro-USB or a USB-C port? Also, does this microphone support USB 2.0 or 3.0? Is it only 2.0?

A: It's a micro-USB port. I have it hooked into my front panel USB 2.0, but it will also function on a 3.0.

Q: Do I need to install the disk for Windows 10 or is it a plug-and-play usb like the original blue yeti non pro version? And, in this case, better audio?

A: For this microphone, you must obtain a driver from Blue. The usual driver in Windows 10 did not work for me, but when I downloaded the one from Blue, it worked well.

Q: What is the distinction between the X, Pro, and standard Blue Yeti microphones? Looking for the greatest voice acting option.

A: When it comes to USB microphones, they are all excellent choices. The yeti x, on the other hand, contains four condensers instead of three like the pro and base versions. However, if you're searching for expandability, the pro is the only one with XLR cable attachments as well as a normal USB. The XLR cords allow the microphone to be connected to a studio sound interface, making it more flexible. So, if you want the most condensing power, opt for the x. However, if you want a wide range of connectivity options, the pro is the way to go.

Q: Is this compatible with the iPhone? I intend to record videos with my iPhone and use this as a microphone.

A: No, it does not. To connect to your device, it requires a USB port.

Q: Can I connect the xlr to a separate mixer and the usb to a computer at the same time?

A: Yeti Pro only allows you to use one connection at a time.

Q: Can you use this mic on an xlr mixer with phantom power and also connect it to a computer via USB? or does it just function in either/or mode?

A: Either or both. When used with the XLR connector, the in-built headphone monitoring does not function. To monitor the microphone, you must utilize the headphone monitoring feature of your XLR audio interface.

Q: Is this compatible with Mac OS Mojave?

A: Yes, Yeti works with the most recent version of MacOS.

Q: Is this microphone suitable for use with a Chromebook?

A: Yes.

Q: Can I use the microphone even if my PC has the msi b450m bazooka motherboard?

A: Yeti Pro may be used with any USB 2.0 input that is compatible!

Q: I'm attempting to use this with a Focusrite audio interface and the XLR, but I can't get it to power on or accept it; am I missing something?

A: Make sure your interface's phantom power is turned on.

Q: Is it possible to use this to record live acoustic guitar and vocals, or is it more of a line in the device?

A: It's ideal for capturing live acoustic guitar and vocals! I really like the sound that this microphone produces
