Q: What are the best settings and placement for a steinway piano transmitting via Zoom?
A: Hi Jazz051, The best setting to use for piano would be Stereo mode and I would place the yeti near the opening---use half stick---close to the strings. I'd set the gain at 10% and computer input at 60%. There are some helpful videos on YouTube that I found helpful especially this one: https://youtu.be/A9jQJfCj4J8. Just enter "best placement for blue yeti for piano", and you'll have a wide range of recommendations. Don't forget to download Blue's Sherpa app which will help you set the gain more precisely. Here's a link to the download: https://www.bluemic.com/en-us/products/sherpa/. Hope that you found this helpful and that all is well. Thank you for choosing Blue. - Richard from Logitech/Blue
