A: There are two versions of the Yeti. This one, which has an MSRP of about $139, and the professional model, which has an MSRP of about $249, so I'm not sure which one you're talking about that's only $30 more. Perhaps that's the one which comes with the Assasin's Creed bundle? If so, they are the exact same microphone. The more expensive version has an XLR microphone connection at the very bottom, which allows you to connect to a sound board or pre-amp, like what recording studios use. It bypasses the USB input in this case, and allows the higher end sound equipment to do the analog to digital conversion, rather than the USB input. Additionally, the more expensive mic allows for 192khz/24-bit recording, which is DVD quality. This one is 48knz/16bit, which is only CD quality. Of course, what you're pumping the signal into, is going to have an impact on your final product too, so just because one buys the higher priced mic, doesn't mean they're going to have a better quality recording. Hope that helps explain things a little better because I'm not 100% what mics you were comparing.
A: Hi Samuel. I don't want to lead you the wrong way on this, so I'm weary to say an outright "yes". However, there is a volume-in control that allows you to change the amount of pickup. You can basically set it to a scale of "everything in your house" to "just your voice". The lower you set it, the more your voice sounds like that of a person on a radio... you'll have to get closer to the mic, etc. I was really surprised by how easy this plug in play mic was. It really works great. That said, when I'm recording, I ensure that my central air is off and try to make everything as quite as possible, but it really depends what you're doing with it. Final Answer: Try it out - you can always return it if it doesn't work out. Good luck!
A: Someone said this is a micro-USB port. That is NOT correct. The cable, which comes with the Blue Yeti is a mini-USB to USB A cable. That's the small one that is a bit taller than the one that most Android devices use these days, and are not interchangeable.
Q: Is this Mic good for music say if I play my cello?
A: Hello, yes, the Blue Yeti microphone has a stereo mode option available. It'll pick up the high and low frequencies exceptionally well. It will sound great on streams, live youtube, or recording audio onto a DAW. You're going to absolutely love it. Have a great day.
Q: Can I use this with my Xbox
A: Hello Jack, although the Yeti was built and designed for computer use, it will work with Xbox. You'll just have to follow a specific process in order to get it working with your Xbox. You'll have to search it up on YouTube to see the process of installing it with your console. Have a great rest of your day.
Q: Can you detach it and put an microphone arm
A: Yes, the mic can be detached from a base and used with an arm.
Q: Can the blue yeti connect to a iPhone and if it can what do I need
A: Yes. I use it with my iPhone. You just need a lightning to USB camera adapter
Q: Does this work well with an Elgato? Does it work at all with one?
A: Yes! I have had an ElGato HD60 and ElGato HD60S. Worked perfectly with both of those capture cards along with streamlabs Obs, Obs and also XSplit :)
