All the Yeti goodness, now in a smaller and cheaper package
For months, I’ve been Requesting Verge Sound maestro Andrew Marino for his recommendation of this ideal podcasting mic, and he keeps telling me the Blue Yeti I have supplies the highest quality. However, the Yeti is a cumbersome beast. (See what I did there? ) It is thick and tall and I can not keep its cable plugged it when I pivot it down for storage. This cable occurs to be really and uses the early Mini USB connector, so I have to get it bulking the Yeti substantial frame from. Most of these woes are presently being corrected by Blue, as the company has just announced a new Yeti Nano that is roughly half the size of the original, and costs a much more affordable $99. Blue asserts it’s kept the Exact Same studio-quality noise of The original Yeti in this brand new model — it supports sample rates up to 24-bit/48kHz with the majority of the mic lineup of Blue — though that hasn’t come without trade-offs.
Whereas the sibling has 2 the larger Yeti has three condenser mic capsules inside it. The elder Yeti also has four pickup layouts, meaning it can record audio four distinct ways: one is for focusing on the consumer facing it, another is for creating a wide stereo image, the third is tailored for conducting interviews, and the final is omnidirectional, shooting everything round the mic. The Blue Yeti Nano has the single-target and omnidirectional manners, which, honestly, will be sufficient for most people’s purposes. Together with the compact Blue Snowball available on the market Needed to inquire Blue what role the Yeti Nano will play in its own product portfolio, and the company said the Nano is intended for people who would like to have a more stylish, professional-looking setup but couldn’t afford the purchase price or the desk space the full size Yeti demands. Overall, the Yeti Nano does seem like the necessary simplification the Yeti lineup needed, though I actually would have liked to watch Blue moving on from Mini USB to a port that’s more contemporary and durable, such as the USB-C which forces every one of my other gadgets. The connector on my Yeti has gotten loose with the connections and disconnections and it is the portion of the microphone’s design that doesn’t feel super durable and strong.
The Blue Yeti Nano is available to buy now for $99 / #89. Over the month blue, red, and golden variants will Also become accessible. No YouTuber should have to looks or Elegance for better sound quality’s sake.
