Blue Yeti Pro [Review]

2011-09-02
hey guys it's mkbhd back with an HD video and today we're going to be taking a look at the blue yeti pro and just a heads up i recently did a collab video with product feedback so you can check that out right here basically one thing you should know about this mic right away is it is absolutely massive you're going to want to leave room on your desk for this puppy it measures in at about a foot tall and about 4 inches wide anyway just like the original Yeti this might comes with the stand you see here which a lot of other companies fail to include so good job blue you can see it's a pretty versatile stand as well and you can take it off the stand and use it with an arm like I will be and just so you know the base is weighted nicely so it won't be sliding around but like some other things in life you got to bend it over and look at the backside the most important part and this is actually where the most important part of the microphone is this is where you can determine what kind of sound quality you get out of the Yeti Pro so starting on the left there's a USB port to connect it to your computer they provide that cable on the top as an analogue stereo XLR connection and they also provide that XLR cable on the right hand side is a pretty cool feature it's a no latency headphone jack for listening to your recordings live and the bottom holds for your microphone stand on the front of Yeti Pro here you have your controls for that latency free headphone jack so you can listen to yourself louder or softer or mute the mic altogether I don't know something about the solid feel of the Yeti Pro I just really like pushing her buttons um anyway on that curvy backside again and we have controls for all the mic patterns so this is where you can switch between stereo cardioid bi-directional and omnidirectional patterns and this is all thanks to the triple condenser mic array inside and it's these mics that record 24 bit 192 kilohertz stereo audio that's four times CD quality audio giggity so I'm sure you're dying to take a listen so without any further ado let's switch from this editor's case sl150 to the yeti pro alright now your listen to is a standard recording from the yeti pro microphone the gain is about medium recording on 192 kilohertz and 24-bit stereo sound in the cardioid pattern with the gain about medium as you can hear the audio quality is really quite good very good in the cardioid pattern for things like vocals and voiceovers like we're doing now if you do record at such a high bitrate the file size tends to be pretty high so if you don't need such high quality vocals you can turn that down but of course if you're buying the blue Yeti Pro it's such an investment that you might as well get the most out of it so I can highly recommend this microphone based on the sound that I'm getting out of it as you can see in the background I have used the editors keys sl150 for quite a few of my videos and I really like it but the sound quality of the triple capsule pattern within the yeti pro is really really impressive so that's pretty much it for the sound quality and if you liked this video go ahead and make sure you give it a thumbs up this is basically a you know overall review of the microphone as I've had it for a little bit so thanks for watching this video guys and I'll talk to you guys later peace you
