Comments about Blue Yeti THX-Certified USB Condenser Microphone:
I was wanting to do some amateur recording of music at home, But didn't want to spend too much money. I spent a lot of time researching different mics and finally came to this one. It's packed with features from the 4 mic pattern and mic gain control right from the mic. I also love how it has it's own on board headphone amp. I use a pair of Denon HP-700. I can also adjust the volume straight from the mic. Can't praise it anymore. The setting up and using of the mic was also very simple and straight forward. In this price range I don't see any better USB mics on the market. B&H were so simple and easy to deal with too. Makes the whole experience very enjoyable. Only negative I could say with the Mic, is its bulkiness, But with all the features its packing and the price, Believe me, It's not a concern of mine, plus it folds down for easy moving/storage.
