right here on the desk I've got the Yeti nano which is from Blue Microphones previously made the very infamous Yeti which was the all in one solution with the ADC and the DAC built-in and you've got a condenser microphone that you just plugged your computer via USB and you've got really good recordings now that model was a little bit heavier came in at one point three eight kilos this is under half the weight coming at six hundred and thirty four grams it also has a lower pricepoint as well coming in at ninety nine USD versus one hundred and twenty nine of the original Yeti and then in Australia 158 Australian dollars versus a hundred and eighty-seven so coming in lower price it's also got 24-bit 48 kilohertz support so you've got a wider floor there to play around in post recordings and editing however you do lose a couple of recording patterns mainly being the stereo since this is only got one microphone versus the yetis - and also bi-directional they still have omnidirectional and cardioid cardioid being the standard style like I'm just talking to the microphone now very popular for streaming and standard voice recordings but without aside let's get on with testing out this microphone which would be great for portability and travel if it does check out to be of similar sound quality to the yeti original and I'm also going to be comparing it to the MX l 770 and also the bearing of b1 through my audio interface let's get it on so for this next test I'm gonna be reading a passage from all for a king shilling and I'm talking about 10 centimeters away from the microphone itself here's what this sounds like from about 30 centimeters back here's what it sounds like right up so you can get an idea of the proximity with this microphone but let's get it on my luck was in I could not believe my eyes all I could see in the front seat were two newspapers it looked as if they were perhaps doing the crosswords or checking the horses then as the taxi rounded the corner I saw both Catrin and Karl was standing on the pavement waiting for me my luck was in I could not believe my eyes all I could see in the front seat were two newspapers it looked as if they were perhaps doing the crosswords or checking the horses then as the taxi rounded the corner I saw both Catrin and Karl was standing on the pavement waiting for me testing proximity testing proximity so we're testing from about 30 centimetres away from the microphone testing about 15 centimeters away this is where you ideally want to have your condenser microphone then you can test really closely if you want to my luck was in I could not believe my eyes all I could see in the front seat were two newspapers it looked as if they were perhaps doing the crosswords or checking the horses then as the taxi rounded the corner I saw a train and karl was standing on the pavement waiting for me sorry this is the M XL m XL m XL m XL this is the MX l 6v 67 G my bad I should have said that so my luck was in I could not believe my eyes all I could see in the front seat were two newspapers it looked as if they were perhaps doing the crosswords or checking the horses then as the taxi rounded the corner I saw both Catrin and Karl was standing on the pavement waiting for me but really when it comes down to a cheap little unit awesome if you are traveling and you need something that's compact sounds pretty good and will get the job done of course it doesn't have as much options as the original Yeti and I thought the original Yeti did sound just a little bit richer of course the MX l7 and also debayering ab1 going through the audio interface that's the edirol with the compressor turned on sounds really nice as well for voice work but this thing will suffice it's a nice little unit one that I can recommend you've also got the option of listening to audio through this device and controlling the audio with the volume knob of course this little unit here what it's got going for it is its size it's got the stand included and it also has the ADC and the DAC built in over one simple USB cable now you can also listen to music via this the sounds pretty decent and one thing though you can't do is listen to music and record your voice at the same time without getting feedback of your own voice through the headphones themselves so if you do want to use these headphones to listen to music but you want to mute your microphone to yourself but not to your audience then this can't unfortunately do that so that is one thing I'd like to see them implement with the yeti Nano it's not really much of a problem I mean listening to yourself is actually good a lot of people do it I'm actually doing it right now just to check for feedback and the noise is really low sound is really crystal clear and I guess that's what you want out of a microphone especially if you're doing voice recordings and you guys hope you enjoyed today's comparison if you did the me sure to hit that like button if you have any questions or comments about the yeti nano then be sure to drop a question in the comment section below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye huh yeah yeah one two yeah it looked as if they were perhaps doing the crosswords or checking the horses then as the taxi rounded the corner I saw both Catrin and car were standing on the pavement waiting for me by this time I was tight into the corner of the taxi and bent down so that I couldn't see them and they couldn't see me recording so this is the normal mode on it but on the back II got a little switch and you can change it to omnidirectional so that's now an omnidirectional so it'll be sound coming from all angles of this room
