While many USB mics don’t have the versatility or sound quality to create quality audio for podcasts, The Blue Yeti Pro is one of the more versatile options available. It offers you a selection of pickup patterns, including bidirectional, omnidirectional and stereo, making it ideal for a podcast that shifts between interviews, solo commentary and group discussions.
The Yeti Pro professional USB microphone combines 24 bit/192 kHz high resolution digital recording with analog XLR output capability. Featuring three custom condenser capsules and four different pattern settings, the Yeti Pro can capture digital audio with up to four times the clarity found on CDs. Plus, the Yeti Pro features a cutting-edge A-D converter chip and separate analog circuit path for use with professional studio mixers and preamps. You also get a built-in headphone amplifier for zero-latency monitoring, and direct controls for headphone volume, pattern selection, mute, and microphone gain.
