Questiondo I need an amplifier? or just plug it in to a wall socket?
Asked 7 years ago by nick.
- Answer You don’t NEED an amplifier for this mic. It’s USB compatible so it can be plugged into anything that has a USB port. Once it’s plugged into a USB port, it automatically turns on. But if you want to record with it, you’ll need to plug it into a computer or recording device that’s USB compatible.

QuestionDoes this have a 3.5 mm cable/ capability as per the specs?
Asked 1 year ago by RichNEPA.
- Answer Hey! No, the Blue Yeti microphone does not have a 3.5mm cable for audio output according to the product specifications. It uses USB for both power and audio. However, it does feature a 3.5mm headphone jack that allows you to monitor the audio you're recording in real-time, without any latency delays.

QuestionWhat are the best settings and placement for a steinway piano transmitting via Zoom?
Asked 4 years ago by jazz051.
- Answer 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

QuestionCan this record two people sitting across from or next to each other in a podcast or similar setting?
Asked 2 years ago by ArizonaKid.
- Answer Hello, ArizonaKid! Yes, the Yeti has two different patterns that you could use called Omnidirectional or Bidirectional. Omnidirectional is going to pick up from all sides of the microphone while bidirectional is going to pick up on the front and back of the microphone. Bidirectional is optimal for podcast settings. Whereas, omnidirectional is optimal for group settings. - Maggie from Blue

Asked 5 years ago by Nickname1.
