But one is twice the price of the other! Why? Well let’s start with the similarities between these two HUGELY popular USB Microphones. Both the Blue Yeti Mic and the Yeti Pro physically look the same. They are both large diaphragm condenser microphones, both with a frequency response of 20Hz – 20kHz. They both have a choice of 4 different pickup patterns: cardioid; bidirectional; omnidirectional; and stereo. This makes these microphones very versatile. You can use in a whole variety of recording situations from from solo work (in cardioid mode) to recording a conference or ensemble (in omni mode). From recording a duet or interview (in bi-directional mode) to recording a stereo signal. Both these microphones have a headphone socket with volume control, which means that as well as being fantastically versatile recording microphones, you can direct monitor and so create voiceovers etc with zero latency. Both USB mics have a physical gain control for the built in pre-amp, so you adjust the recording volume on the mic, and can adjust the settings depending on the recording situation. Finally, these distinctive looking microphones come on a solid stand, so you can vary the angle of the mic. You can also have the option of fitting them to a standard mic stand. The microphones are solid and heavy so you will need a heavy duty stand to do this. So the mics look the same and have similar features. So WHAT is the difference? Well there are two major features. The first is the recording resolution. The standard Blue Yeti records at a resolution of 16-bit 48kHz which is CD quality. However the Blue Yeti Pro can record at up to a resolution of 24-bit, 192kHz. This is a staggering difference! You can hear uncompressed recordings of both the microphones on this web page so you can compare the difference: http://www.musicrepo.com/which-usb-microphone/ The second key difference is the Yeti Pro can also be used as a standalone microphone, with stereo XLR output. So it is not JUST a USB microphone. This makes it hugely versatile and much less restrictive. You can connect it through a mixer and record or amplify without any need to use a computer. So these two reasons explain that with the Blue Yeti Pro you can record at a professional recording resolution and use the microphone as an analog as well as USB mic. So if you have the budget, then the Blue Yeti Pro is a great all-in-one purchase. But do make sure you compare it with all the mics I have tested, as it is the most expensive one I t
