Legendary Features

The legend of the Yeti continues with the most advanced and versatile multi-pattern USB microphone roaming the wild today. The Yeti Pro features tools and recording capabilities usually requiring multiple microphones and devices, all with the simplicity of a plug-and-play USB microphone.

Desktop or Studio, the Possibilities Are Endless

You can quickly select from each of Yeti Pro's four pattern settings (stereo, cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional) by simply rotating the pattern selector knob. The chart below shows each pattern's symbol, sound source direction, and suggested recording applications.

Like Having Four Mics in One

The Yeti Pro is like having four mics in one, thanks to its built-in pattern selector. Choose between four polar pattern settings for any home recording application. Select Stereo for capturing a realistic, two-channel stereo image. Cardiod is the most commonly used mode for basic recording and is useful in almost any situation, such as recording vocals, a podcast, voiceover work, and more. Omnidirectional mode is perfect for recording a group of musicians playing at the same time, or recording a conversation between multiple parties around a room such as a conference call. Choose Bidirectional for individual instruments, or for recording an interview with two or more guests.

Its versatile application along with simple plug-and-play functionality makes the Yeti Pro the only desktop microphone you'll ever need.

Stand and Cables Included

The Yeti Pro features a custom base, including a threaded mic stand mount with cable management. A USB cable and a stereo XLR breakout cable are also included in the box.

--The New York Times

"... if you seek a professional sound or are recording audio--voice or instrumental--that needs the best possible reproduction, then the Yeti Pro is a splendid choice and its ability to also interface with XLR audio equipment makes it a must-have for any digital roadie too."
