The threaded base lets you attach the Yeti to any standard microphone stand. Kevin Lee + 1 moreAt the base of the mic there is a mini-USB port, a headphone jack, and a threaded base. Fidgeters like me will appreciate all the thought put into keeping the mic still, since I often bump into my desk with my chair, or absent-mindedly knock the mic with my mouse hand. That heft is coupled with rubber non-skid pads on the base, so when you put the Yeti down, it stays put.
The base itself is made of the same metal as the mic and has some serious heft to it. Let's get into the details:ĭesign and FeaturesThe Blue Yeti is well built, as the exterior is made entirely of metal, with the exception of the knobs and the thumb screws attaching the mic to its base. If you're just interested in recording vocals there's also a Yeti Studio model which is $20 more and comes only in silver, but includes software from PreSonus and advanced studio vocal effects from iZotopean. It's a midrange model in the company's lineup and is available in several colors, so it comes in silver, black, white, or 'cool gray,' as the company puts it. Blue is one of the most recognized companies in the USB microphone world, and the Yeti (See it on Amazon) is one of the most popular microphones for podcasters and streamers due to its excellent recording capability and affordable price tag of about $129.
