hey guys it's team here with an unboxing a review of the blue Yeti USB desktop microphone me gauge might already be familiar with this microphone a lot of people on YouTube use it as well as doing podcasts and general audio work but of course I'll be giving you guys my full unboxing and review and now before we get in usually just tear the box right open but they want to kind of give you guys a little a little overview of the box actually did a pretty nice job of kind of explaining what some of the patterns are giving you guys a little overview of what all the mic does of course I do that myself and also some more of these cool characters so I just kind of appreciate when companies kind of put a little bit of effort into the boxes and kind of make it look a little cool but now let's go ahead and pull it open here without looking kind of silly oh and of course there is a tab and I didn't bring a knife so let me just pull it out here there we go no problems and let's go ahead and pull this microphone out and see what all we get in the box alright so we've liberated this from the original box so I think it's go ahead and take a look at what all we get so for starters doesn't look we have a USB cable and I believe that is a mini USB cable so looks fairly long I would guess probably 6 feet or so give you more than enough room up top here we have blue Yeti looks like an instruction manual or some sort trying to probably tell you a little bit about the microphone itself and looks like we next do have the microphone itself maybe a guy that's about gonna be about it for the unboxing portion stay tuned I'm gonna go ahead and spend the next couple of weeks on this testing it out saying what I think so I will be right back with my full review all right so I've now been using the blue Yeti for a couple of weeks now and I guess a yeah it's pretty solid so some of the things I've been doing with it as I've been using it to report pretty much all the audio from my videos this one and of course not included I've been pretty much using it to do all kinds of audio recording I've also used it for my live strains and the audio is pretty solid but there are some other things I do want to talk about before I get into the specifics of that so one of the big things is is the size now when I first got this I was like you know taken out of the box and I look at it like wow this is a really really big microphone and it's kind of hard to get a good sense of scale on the camera but I would say it's at least a foot taller so it's really quite large especially with the stand chassis here it extends the height quite a bit now this actually works really quite nicely when sitting on your desk it's at about a nice height for you to speak into it like you have to crouch down or anything like that so I should probably quite like that now speaking of the stand it is really quite nice so as you guys can see here of course this microphone see you on here you can just screw it into pretty much any microphone adapter and you allow you to use it you know boom arm or anything you like over the stand that it comes with is really quite nice it is made out of this let's I don't know what time I'm awful at telling what kind of metal it is but it's definitely metal and very very heavy I'm especially something really surprised me when I first pick this up is the stand and the microphone itself are very heavy but it works well you know it's on your desk you want to actually get knocked down or something easier since a year it's not really going anywhere so beyond that you guys can see the microphone itself and it all is the construction is very very top notch and see here the entire the shroud around the capsules is just fine you don't have to worry about it you know getting dented and all kind of stuff and the overall build quality I found is absolutely top-notch maybe the only thing that I might have a slight complain about is this volume switch this is the volume for the headphones which I'll talk about that in just second um you guys can see here's a little bit of a little bit of play in it certainly not a big deal I don't really think it's gonna be breaking or anything but it is something I did want to mention now let's go ahead and go quickly over some of the features of the microphone so up front here you guys have a mute button so if you really want to quickly mute it on the fly so if you know you're doing something you just want to have a hard button to mute it you can certainly do that now this is to control the volume for the headphones if I flip it over here on the bottom guess you'll see here you have the mini USB cable which is where you plug it in obviously to your computer I just keep it plugged in for convenience sake and we also do have a headphone adapter this is for a 3.5 millimeter headset I know this actually works really quite nice as it allows you to monitor your audio on the fly you don't need to worry about you know any delay or lag or anything like that and it's really really nice to have on a microphone of this quality and you know of course this price turning it around to the bat you guys will see here does have a game control so again something that you will not won't find on a lot of other desktop microphones in this price range is a lot of physical controls which I found is very very helpful so like I said you have your game control so you can a manually adjust the audio and you'll pair it up with listening to it on headphones you can really get the optimal audio performance and you're not happen to you know start and stop and look at your audio and play it back kinda stops a little bit messy so just being able to do that is very very simple now on the back here you guys will see his pattern now I did mention this in a previous video but it does have four patterns now of course these are all suited to different needs and because it has have three capsules in there for recording on all sides I mean does work really quite nicely now I'm gonna mostly talk about this from the point of doing voiceovers and that kind of stuff because that's mainly what I use it for and when you have it on cardioid pattern it works really well but you guys don't have to take my word for let me go ahead and give you a quick sample alright so I'm now recording using the blue yeti microphone so I am using the cardioid pattern which is optimal for voiceovers which I'm doing right now kind of helps block out some of the background noise and everything kind of more focus on what exactly is in front of a microphone I have a pretty short distance between myself and the microphone you know get the best thing I also do have the gain turned down somewhat about to that one-third or so through a sooner guys this is a quick test of the audio quality on the blue Yeti microphone overall I'm quite impressed with the blue Yeti microphone the audio quality Magister exceeds a lot of its competitors and where it really shines is with the physical controls of the course with the mute and being able to monitor your audio all that really makes this assault microphone so you guys are looking for a microphone around this price point I have no problems recommending the blue Yeti I like to give a big thanks to the folks over at blue for providing this microphone to me
