Yeti Knob Positions

[Smiling?]

Switch settings when you are actually facing the back two knobs on the Yeti.

Top knob is microphone gain.

Bbottom knob/switch (Multiple pattern selection knob):
1. Stereo. When switched all the way to the left (facing it).
2. Omni-directional. Next position to the right.
3. Cardioids.
4. Bi-directional.

doesn't a light flash while it is muted?

Thanks for that helpful informN.

There are another 2 controls found on the 
underside of the blue Yeti, what appears to be a 
Master output volume control and a mute button for the microphone.


I received my Audio Technica USB Dynamic

little testing with this yet but it does look 
like a most formidable beast to have in a studio

I did some fiddling with the microphone and made

The Michelangelos of the headphone universe

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!



One of the things I really like about list members here is their interests in 
headphones and the various types of cans they discuss or review.



The follow article I’ve quoted below from my local newspaper talks about what 
are arguably the best headphones on the planet though I doubt if any one of us 
will be getting a pair soon though I have to admit to ruling over the sound of 
these cans.



We’ve also discussed electro static headphones on list i the past, the 
headphones mentioned here are indeed of the electro static type and wow! just 
so much more besides.



I apologies to the list as i was unable to find a direct link to the article in 
question, the text is taken from a scan I did of a page cut out of Thursday’s 
paper by a friend but it seemed to come out quite well.





Headline, The Michelangelos of the headphone universe, by Rod Easdown.

Who'd spend $76,000 on a set of headphones? It's a question Sennheiser 
Australia must be wrestling with.

A quarter of a century ago Sennheiser, probably the best-known headphone 
company in the world, unveiled what it claimed to be the world's best 
headphones. Full stop. They were called Orpheus and cost about $20,000. I never 
got to listen to them but I've spoken with a few people who did and the general 
consensus is that Sennheiser wasn't kidding.

Now it has unveiled a replacement for the Orpheus called, rather less sexily, 
the HE1060. If you're in Europe next year you could pick up a pair for €50,000 
($76,000). If you're not, well, I asked the local folk where I could have a 
listen and they suggested no fewer than seven locations. The closest is Hong 
Kong at a show in March. If I want a listen earlier there's the Consumer 
Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, but who wants to go to America in 
January? Who wants to go to Vegas at any time?

Will any of these headphones ever wind up in Australia? The folk at Sennheiser 
Australia can't even say if they'll get an evaluation unit. Visiting a big 
international show would be the best bet, they say. Do I want to burn a couple 
of grand to listen to a pair of HE1060s for a few minutes? That would be no.

This puts me at odds with an American reviewer who has listened to prototypes 
and final production models in locations around the world, travelling at his 
own expense. Does this make him a headphone groupie? His review, by the way, is 
pure rapture.

Going by the specs, they'd have to sound pretty special. They are 
electrostatics, just like the Orpheus, meaning a fragile, shimmering delicacy 
to the music that is just delightful, and they're powered by their own valve 
amplifier, just like the Orpheus. But that's where the similarities end. The 
HE1060s nestle in their own cabinet, built into the housing of the valve 
amplifier, carved from a single lump of Italian Carrara marble - "the same type 
of marble that Michelangelo used to create his sculptures", the media release 
enthuses. Electrostatics favour the high end but these are said to get down to 
eight Hertz, or gut-rumbling bass.

Touch the amplifier's power switch and the four rotary knobs on the front panel 
slowly glide outwards from their flush mounting so they can be adjusted. Then 
eight valves lift from the top panel and head gently north until their glowing 
bases come into view. The glass lid covering the headphone compartment then 
lifts and in just under 30 seconds from turn-on you can finally get to them. 
This process is more than art. It delays you long enough to let the valves 
reach operating temperature or, in the parlance of days when valves were king 
and transistors hadn't been invented yet, they're warmed up.

But valves are only the first part of the amplification process. There are also 
metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) amps in the earcups. 
Having them there means that capacitance in the cable is no longer a problem, 
improving efficiency.

The amplification of alternating voltages to higher voltages happens at the 
point it is needed, at the electrodes in the earcups, rather than a 
cable-length away. The distance between the MOSFET amplifier and the diaphragm 
is less than a centimetre. Are you still with me? I haven't gone into the 
gold-vaporised ceramic electrodes and the platinum-vaporised diaphragms yet.

The team of engineers developing this product was given 10 years, a seemingly 
unlimited budget and lots of autonomy, and despite that they had to pull one 
guy out of retirement to get things right.

Sennheiser doesn't say how many HE1060/HEV1060 combos it will be making. It 
only made 300 Orpheus headphones and one in top condition will currently fetch 
around $50,000. So, if you have the financial wherewithal for these things, 
hey, there's always headphone futures …

RE: Yeti Knob Positions

Yes, there are as you said two more items that we can use on the front side of 
the Yeti. The bottom is a pot (volume knob) for the 3.5mm jack on the bottom of 
the unit itself for the realtime headphone jack and the button is the Mute 
toggle button. There will also be a Blue or Yeti (or maybe both) decal above 
the mute button.

yeti Ultimate USB microphone for professional recording 


Congratulations on your purchase of The Yeti, the most advanced and versatile 
multi-pattern USB microphone roaming the wild today. The Yeti is the ultimate 
tool for creating amazing recordings, no matter what the source or environment. 
Best of all, this Yeti can capture anything! The Yeti features Blue’s 
innovative 
triple capsule array, allowing for recording in stereo or your choice of three 
unique patterns, including cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional, giving 
you recording capabilities usually requiring multiple microphones.

The Yeti utilizes a high quality analog-to-digital converter to send incredible 
audio fidelity directly into your computer, a built-in headphone amplifier for 
zero-latency monitoring, and simple controls for headphone volume, pattern 
selection, instant mute, and microphone gain located directly on the microphone
 so you are always in control of your recording. The Yeti’s exceptional 
performance and fidelity have earned it the distinction of being the first THX 
Certified Microphone, a validation of Yeti’s incredibly low distortion, high 
fidelity, and balanced frequency response. There are no drivers to install — 
simply plug the Yeti into your PC or Mac, load up your favorite recording 
software, and record something amazing.


Getting to know your Yeti


Triple Capsule Array • Three condenser capsules in an innovative configuration 
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 12-19 for more details and pattern
 suggestions.

Microphone gain knob
• Use this knob to control the gain (sensitivity) of Yeti’s microphone 
elements. 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.

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 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 flashing, 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.

Headphone volume control • Easily control the volume of Yeti’s headphone output 
by adjusting the volume knob — no need to click through software menus to find 
the right headphone volume.

Headphone output • Yeti includes a standard 1/8” (3.5mm) headphone jack for 
monitoring and playback. You can use Yeti’s headphone output to monitor your 
microphone recording in real-time, without latency delays. Or, use the Yeti’s 
headphone amplifier to reproduce music, movies, or tracks from your computer 
with the incredible fidelity and detail provided by the dedicated headphone 
amplifier and high quality digital-to-analog converter.

USB connection • Yeti connects to your computer with one simple USB cable. Plug 
the mini USB (small connector) into the USB port on Yeti, and plug the other 
end 
into an available USB port on your computer. To perform at its best, Yeti 
should 
be plugged directly into a powered USB port, so avoid connecting through USB
 hubs or other USB multipliers.

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 maximum versatility.

I see the dial you’re talking about but I think its just an emblem right? I 
don’t think it does anything in particular.

Thanks for mentioning the Headphone Level Volume out and that’s what I should 
have said too as its a better description.

When you output to the Blue Yeti via your computer or take input from the 
microphone from your computer you can independently adjust the input and 
outputs irrespective of what the headphone level volume is doing.

Re: Yeti Knob Positions

[Dane Trethowan]

I have to say that the headphone Amplifier of the Blue Yeti is amongst the best 
I’ve head in such a small device, most models of cans should work with this 
thing.

Mor out of curiosity than anything else, I even went to the point of purchasing 
the headphones originally recommended as part of the package from whence my 
Blue Yeti came, if memory serves me correctly the author talks about the 
Senheiser HD202 which can be bought for around $25 so at that price? Well why 
not satisfy one’s curiosity and get a pair just to see what all the fuss is 
about, I doubt that only the worst headphones in existence would sound horrible 
out of a Blue Yeti and Sehneiser don’t make the worst for sure.

RE: Yeti Knob Positions

[Smiling?]

Yeah, it's their logo I believe is what you are referring to when you say dial, 
no?

Below that logo is the mute toggle button. If this is what button you are 
referring to when saying dial. Then yes the dial that you are referring to is 
the mute toggle button.

Back With IOS Next Week

[Dane Trethowan]

Subject says it all, actually audio isn’t the primary reason for getting myself 
an iPad 4 Mini though I am curious to know what the speakers sound like in this 
thing?

I had s standard iPad III 2 years ago I think it was and I never liked the 
sound of that thing much to be honest.

I’m an Android and IOS user and both have excellent audio facilities to boast 
about when it comes to audio though its a pity that we don’t have a device that 
has all those nice type audio things in one package, there are a few Android 
packages such as the Samsung Note4 and above that give us a huge choice and - 
if you value your audio above all else - then these phones are certainly worth 
the look with the ability to handle HD audio, the latest Bluetooth support for 
audio gadgets and so on.

I still prefer the Apple AirPlay system myself but that’s probably because I 
invested so much in the damn thing anyway, both systems have advantages and 
disadvantages but when all is said and done the newer versions of Bluetooth are 
going to rule the roost for short distance transmissions of audio.

anyway what do people think of the audio speakers on the iPad 4 Mini and is 
there anything I should look out for?

Audio Technica Dynamic Microphone Test

[Dane Trethowan]

This is the dynamic microphone I ordered alongside my Blue Yeti.

As you can tell the sound characteristics are somewhat different but sounds 
nice for a Dynamic microphone all the same, good things to have around when you 
want to get up close with your speech without the background noise.

The test has been recorded in FLAC.

If link doesn't work the first time then try again in a few minutes, file may 
still be uploading to Dropbox.

I heard some wining in the middle. Not sure if you caught that.
