Getting to know your Yeti PRO
Triple Capsule Array • Three condenser capsules in an innovative conguration to enable great recordings in most
any situation.
Multiple pattern selection • You can quickly select from each of Yeti’s four pattern settings (stereo, cardioid,
omnidirectional, bidirectional) by simply rotating the pattern selector knob. See pages 21–26 for more details and
pattern suggestions.
Microphone gain • Use this knob to control the gain (sensitivity) of Yeti Pro’s microphone elements. When
recording in USB mode, begin recording with this knob centered. If you are experiencing digital distortion with a very
loud sound source, simply decrease the gain counterclockwise. If you desire higher sensitivity, simply increase the gain
by turning clockwise.
When recording using the analog outputs, we recommend the microphone gain on the Yeti Pro to be turned to zero, or
all the way counterclockwise. If more gain is desired you can rotate the knob clockwise to increase the microphone’s
4
sensitivity. However, in analog mode, Blue recommends making gain adjustments in your preamplier or interface
equipment to minimize the chance of distortion.
Blue logo • The Blue logo indicates the front of the microphone.
Set screws • Turn each of these knobs clockwise to tighten and secure the microphone at the desired angle. To
remove the microphone from the included desk stand, simply unscrew both set screws entirely while supporting
the microphone with your hand. Carefully remove the Yeti Pro microphone by lifting directly up and out of the
desk stand.
Mute button/status light • Press this button to mute the output from the microphone. When the mute button is ashing,
the microphone is muted and no signal will be sent to the computer. To end microphone muting, simply press the button
again. The status light will illuminate solid during normal operation to indicate proper function.

NOTE: The mute button is not functional when using the Yeti Pro in analog mode.
