You can use the cardoid pattern to record vocals and individual instruments, then set it up in omni-directional or stereo mode to fill out the sound stage as the whole band plays.

That’s not unfeasibly heavy for portable use but it’s not the sort of thing you’d take everywhere with you. If all 11 LEDs light up into the red, then you are producing distorted audio. When plugged in via USB, the Yeti Pro can also be used as a high quality headphone monitor with independent volume control. The Blue Yeti Pro USB microphone is designed to be used as either a straight to digital USB recording device, or a fully analogue recording device.
It’s a brilliant addition to the Yeti X.You can customize the lighting on the control knob to match your desktop setup. And record in comfort with Yeti’s side-address operation—just speak, sing or play into the Yeti on the same side as the Blue logo to capture pro sound. It has the potential to make you sound more professional and more commanding without having to spend more money than you are making from your content.Blue Voice gives you full control over how the software processes your voice.
And USB is so much cleaner and simpler.These features make the Yeti X the obvious step between an introductory USB mic and a full XLR setup with a dedicated pre-amp and audio interface. You can choose from omni-directional, bi-directional and cardoid as well as stereo, that latter of which results in a sort of cross between an omni-directional and a cardoid effect, with the stereo imaging you’d expect of a two-channel setup.The knobs for the mic mounts, along with the Mute button and various dials are the only plastic bits on show and though they feel relatively less satisfyingly hardy than all the metal bits, they’re all sturdy, responsive and easy to use.Thanks to this diversity, the Blue Yeti Pro makes for a perfect all-purpose microphone for varied studio work.
