There are a variety of excellent, relatively recent products being introduced to the market every week. Some of these are very promising, worth another look. A few of these have distinguished themselves amongst their users, are increasingly being spoken well of within the forums, and they are growing rapidly in user acceptance. Among those that appear to be really good within the product category of USB microphones, is one called the Blue Yeti USB microphone.

This great product is the creation of Blue Microphones, a dedicated and brilliant team of engineers and designers who understand what this market needs. And what the Blue Yeti microphone does so well when it comes to rapidly growing its client list, is to meet the demands of the growing numbers of USB mic users for podcasting and home music recording.

Three exceptional features set this microphone apart from their nearest competition. Those features are outstanding sound quality with a very good frequency response curve, an innovative triple capsule array, allowing for recording in stereo or your choice of three unique patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional, giving you recording capabilities usually requiring multiple microphones. Let's discuss these attributes, each in its turn.

The Yeti is THX Certified for exceptional sound and performance, it can capture anything with a clarity & ease unheard of in a USB microphone.

A built-in headphone amplifier for zero-latency monitoring, and simple controls for headphone volume, pattern selection, instant mute, and microphone gain located directly on the microphone.

The Stereo mode is great for capturing a realistic stereo image. Cardioid is the most commonly used mode and can be useful in most any situation. Omnidirectional means that the microphone picks up sound equally from all directions. This setting is perfect for recording a group of musicians all playing at the same time, recording a conversation between multiple parties around a room, a conference call, or any other situations where you want to capture the ambience of ‘being there.

On the negative side, the principal downside within the the microphone setup is that the cardioid setting can render the sound a little flimsy unless you're recording directly into the mike.

In summary, the Yeti is a very good product with a good amount of excellent features. It would be well worth investing the time it takes to have a closer look at it, maybe even give it a try. Other details can be found in other reviews on the google search engine.
