Q: QuestionCan this record two people sitting across from or next to each other in a podcast or similar setting?

Asked 3 years ago by ArizonaKid.

• A: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

• A:Answer Hello Thank you for your interest in the Blue Yeti microphone. Yes, the Yeti is a versatile microphone that can be used to “ pick up the sound of a gong and transmit it over Zoom”. I recommend downloading the Blue Sherpa software for firmware updates, adjustments to the sample rate, and level monitoring/adjustments. I recommend checking your levels before you go live, and the Blue Sherpa software will be useful to do so. I have attached a link to the “Getting Started” guide, where you will find the Blue Sherpa download, a startup guide and further support. I hope you enjoy the Blue Yeti USB microphone and please feel welcome to visit the support website for further assistance.

Q: QuestionI purchased an a USB-C to USB adapter for my yeti and it fits in my MacBook Air, but the Blue Yeti’s USB doesn’t fit. What is the correct adapter so it fits on both ends?

Asked 5 years ago by Nickname1.

• A:Answer A standard USB-C to USB-A adapter should be the adapter you need. The microphone should have came with a Mini USB to USB-A cable, the Mini USB part going into the microphone and the USB-A going into the adapter.

Q: QuestionI want to buy this for Zoom video calls. Do I absolutely need to plug in headphones so that the mike doesn't pick up feedback from the Zoom call. Also, is it so sensitive that it will pick up the sound of my central air conditioning or small fan?

Asked 5 years ago by Yogi.

• A:Answer Zoom is pretty smart and recognizes the output sound versus the input sound, to make sure the two don't interfere, so no a headset is not necessary to prevent feedback. The Yeti has 4 different sound pickup patterns you can test to make sure your AC is not being picked up, but generally this is not a problem we encounter. I use the Yeti without headphones all day and haven't had issues with feedback or it picking up the sound from my own central AC.

Q: QuestionAs a singer, I make video demo reels of me singing. Is this microphone made for that? or only for recording? If there a way to record a video and use the microphone with the same computer?

Asked 6 years ago by yeahyeahyeahs.

This question was asked about the related product: Blue Microphones - Blue Yeti Professional Multi-Pattern USB Condenser Microphone - Midnight Blue

• A:Answer I, personally, wouldn't use this mic for recording singing or performance-based vocals. If you're good at what you do, spend the money on a decent interface (Behringer Uphoria, Focusrite Scarlet, etc) and a decent mic. If you have a vocal booth, this mic would work fine. Without a sound-treated vocal booth, this mic is going to capture the room as much or more than your voice. You can try the Samson Q2U or the slightly better Audio Technica AT2005USB if you're looking for a USB mic. Best of luck with your endeavors. Create, share and keep pushing!
