About a month ago I purchased the "Yeti Pro" microphone, and so far I am very satisfied, I'm going to tell you why.


The Specs
Having XLR outputs is enough to label this a Pro, but they also bumped the specifications of the microphone. Here are the specs for the Yeti Pro, with the Yeti’s in blue and parenthesis where different:
Microphone
Power Required/Consumption: 5V 500mA (USB)/48V DC (analog) (up from 150mA)
Sample Rate: 192 kHz (up from 48 kHz)
Bit Rate: 24bit (up from 16bit)
Capsules: 3 Blue-proprietary 14mm condenser capsules
Polar Patterns: Cardioid, Bidirectional, Omnidirectional, Stereo
Frequency Response: 20Hz – 20kHz
Sensitivity: 4.5mV/Pa (1 kHz)
Max SPL: 120dB (THD: 0.5% 1kHz)
Headphone Amplifier
Impedance: >16 ohms
Power Output (RMS): 130 mW
THD: 0.009%
Frequency Response: 15 Hz – 22 kHz
Signal to Noise: 114dB (up from 100dB)

This microphone has very good sound quality. It is very recommended if you're into commentating, podcasting, or just about anything else.

Another reason I really like it is because it has 4 different sound settings to perfect quality. The 4 different settings are:
  • Stereo
  • Cardiod
  • Omni
  • Bidirectional
Another great feature about this microphone is it has real time playback. You can plug in your headphones and hear your voice while you're speaking (for purposes of monitoring)


Basic Pros
High sound quality
4 different quality settings
Durable design
Real time playback

Basic Cons
Heavy
Picks up lots of background noise (mouse clicking, etc)
Sometimes can cut out when it picks up a very loud sound


Overall this is a very good microphone for a very cheap price. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for reading my thread.
 
The price on Amazon UK for the regular Blue Yeti is £112 and the Pro is £183, I would get the Blue Yeti but it's the background noise part that turns me off, my flat isn't the quietest place on Earth.

Thanks for the review.

£183?!?!? I got my Yeti Pro (new) for $100 or so in-stores at TigerDirect.
