PROFESSIONAL MULTI-PATTERN USB MIC
FOR RECORDING AND STREAMING
QUICK START GUIDE
Congratulations on your purchase of the Yeti, the world’s
#1 USB microphone! Featuring Blue’s innovative tri-capsule
array, the Yeti lets you record with four unique patterns—
stereo, cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional—offering
you recording possibilities that usually require multiple
microphones. Informed by Blue’s illustrious studio legacy,
Yeti delivers dramatic, professional sound for podcasting,
voiceover, Skype/VoIP, game streaming, vocals and
instruments. There are no drivers to install—simply plug the
Yeti into your PC or Mac, load up your favorite recording
software, and record something amazing.

GETTING STARTED WITH YETI

SOFTWARE SETUP

After unpacking your Yeti, rotate the microphone 180
degrees so that the Blue logo and headphone volume
control are facing you. Tighten the set-screws on the
left and right of the base after adjusting the microphone
to your desired angle. Connect Yeti to your computer
with the supplied USB cable—the LED just above the Blue
logo will glow red, indicating power has reached the mic.

Whatever your favorite software is—Audacity, Garageband, iMovie, Ableton, Skype, you name it—Yeti will produce
amazing results. Simply plug the mic into your Mac or PC, select Yeti as your recording input within your selected
software, and start recording—no drivers required. It’s that easy.

Yeti is a side-address microphone, which means
you should speak, sing, and play into the side of the
microphone with the Blue logo facing the sound source,
not the top of the microphone. Now you can start
recording and streaming in stunning audio quality.

For game streamers, Yeti is compatible with most popular live-streaming software programs including Discord,
Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), XSplit, Gameshow and more.

STANDARD THREAD MOUNT

If you would like to mount your Yeti to a standard microphone studio mount, remove
Yeti from the included desk stand and thread in a standard threaded mount. For
broadcast applications, we recommend the Compass desktop boom arm. To isolate
Yeti from noise, shock, and ambient vibration, add the Radius III shockmount.

Uses both the left and
right channels to capture
a wide, realistic sound
image—ideal for recording
acoustic guitar or choir.

OMNIDIRECTIONAL

Picks up sound equally from
all around the mic. It’s best used
in situations when you want to
capture the ambience of “being
there”—like recording a band’s
live performance, a multi-person
podcast or a conference call.

CARDIOID

Perfect for podcasts, game
streaming, vocal performances,
voiceovers and instruments.
Cardioid mode records sound
sources that are directly in front
of the microphone, delivering
rich, full-bodied sound.

BIDIRECTIONAL

Records from both the front
and rear of the microphone—
good for recording a duet or
a two-person interview.
