GETTING STARTED WITH YETI

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.

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.

SOFTWARE SETUP

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.

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

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR YETI

3. MULTIPLE PATTERN SELECTION: Quickly select from Yeti’s four pattern settings (stereo, cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional) by rotating the pattern selector knob.
4. MUTE BUTTON/STATUS LIGHT: Press the mute button to mute/unmute. When muted, the LED status light will flash.

7. USB CONNECTION: Yeti connects to your computer with one simple USB cable
8. 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 shock mount.
