• How do I connect my Blue Snowball or Yeti to my computer?

  Simply connect the microphone to your computer using the provided USB cable. Your computer should automatically recognize it as an audio input device; no additional drivers are required for Windows or Mac computers.

• Why does my Blue microphone sound distant or capture lots of room noise?

  Check your computer's system and software audio preferences to ensure that the Blue microphone is explicitly selected as the default input device. Often, computers may default to using an inferior built-in webcam or laptop microphone.

• Can I use a Blue USB microphone with a traditional analog audio mixer?

  No. Blue USB microphones like the Yeti and Snowball feature digital output only and must be connected directly to a USB port in order to function.

• How do I switch between polar patterns on my Blue Yeti?

  Press or turn the pattern selector button located on the back of the microphone to choose between cardioid, omnidirectional, stereo, or bidirectional (figure-8) patterns, depending on your specific model.

• Does the Blue Yeti Nano have a headphone output?

  Yes, the Blue Yeti Nano features a standard 1/8” (3.5mm) headphone jack for real-time monitoring and playback without latency delays. You can adjust the monitoring volume directly using the knob on the front of the microphone.
