Yes definitely it's an awesome mic

***** it's all about the filters

***** so the pro isnt worht it over the regular yeti?

randomrazr Ok, bear with me... This might be a bit confusing, but I'll sum it up at the end. It depends on what you're using it for. If your just broadcasting, there won't be any difference. The original Yeti has a sampling rate of 48Khz (not 128 as stated in this video). That means that it takes a sample of audio and converts it into a digital value 48,000 times a second. CDs have a sampling rate of 44.1 Khz so there are 44,100 samples per second. The original Yeti also has a bit depth of 16. This means that when a sample is taken and converted to digital, there are 16 0s and 1s to represent that sample, which allows 65,535 discrete levels of sound to be heard - same as a CD. So the original Yeti will create a slightly better tone than a CD because of the 48Khz sampling rate (in theory). The Yeti Pro has a sample rate of 192Khz (compared to 48 the original has) This technically means that all the filtering happens WAY above our hearing range. What do I mean by filtering? A CD has a sample rate of 44.1Khz. This means that the highest frequency that can be produced is about 20,000 Hz, which is the limit of human hearing... if you're lucky. The problem is that there has to be filtering to round out the wave form, or else the music will sound extremely distorted at the high end. This filtering has to be done properly. Cheap CD players might not do as well as some more expensive ones. Because the original Yeti has a slightly higher sampling rate (48Khz), this moves the filtering higher above human hearing, so there's less chance of distortion. If Blue put good filters inside the mic, (I'm sure they did) there should be no problem at all. I don't even think the mic will go up to 20,000 anyway, so we're in the clear. When you're talking 192Khz sampling rate, (as with the Yeti Pro), IF there is any filtering being done, it would be WAY above human hearing, and that would only be to prevent the dogs from going crazy, if you know what I mean. Also, The Yeti Pro uses a bit depth of 24 bits, instead of 16. That means that the Yeti Pro can reproduce over 16,000,000 discrete levels of sound as apposed to the original Yeti's over 65,000. Of course all this assumes that you are using the USB output. The Yeti Pro also has analog outputs so all these numbers would depend on how your recording software is set up. None of the sampling and filtering would be done inside the mic if you were using the analog outputs. Now that your head is spinning, I'll answer your question. Right off the top, you're probably not going to hear ANY difference between the two mics. The Pro has the same pickups as the original Yeti. The advantage that the Pro has is that it does have the analog outputs so you can use it with a mixer. If you ever plan on using a mixer, the Pro is a must. There is not a way to plug a USB mic into a mixer, at least not yet. Technically, it can be done, but no one has invented such a device. As far as the bit depth and sampling rates, I challenge anyone to do a blindfolded test and hear the difference. The advantage of the higher numbers comes into play for... RECORDING. Here's why. When we record, we tend to bounce tracks, put them through processing, mix them down etc. All this takes a toll on the data being recorded. Someone might say, Craig you idiot, it's digital, there's no signal loss". That is true to a degree, but if I, say, recorded a 16 bit recording really low, then later on boost up the level, I have just in effect reduced the effective bit depth. (Bit depth can be compared to "headroom" in the tape world) If I want to boost a frequency like say 5000 Hz, I am in effect stretching that 16 bit headroom. When this is done a few times during a recording and mixing session, there might be audible noise or dithering. That's why recording engineers like to use 24 bit because instead of 65,000, you have 16 million. That is a much higher resolution that is much harder to damage during processing and so on. But we're talking on a Pro level here. I've recorded songs in 16 bit before and they sound perfectly fine. MUCH better than my old tape recorders. So if you're looking to record multiple tracks and doing processing, bouncing, blending, comping etc, go with the Pro, and you can use a mixer. If you just need a mic to plug into your computer for voice overs, skype, broadcasting, or to sing along with stuff, the original one is fine. If you want to see an interesting comparison between the Yeti and the MXL 990, look up "blue yeti vs mxl 990" and watch the first video that comes up. Hope that helps.

***** that was really interesting, thanks for taking the time to explain!

+CraigTube thanks for the explanation, btw, i wanna know does the size of the capsule effect recording quality? thanks in advance!

It's not they yeti, Yeti is giving you the voice like it sounds in real life if he hasen't made any effects wich he shoulden't do in a video likes this for reviewing it. So it's hes voice. He looks young and how do you know hes young :D?

I'm not the creator of the video but Audacity is what people usually use to record. It's free and open source and alot of people use it. Hope this helps! :)

***** Yeah I see no resemblance there lol.

elitecssplayer Darude..... oh nevermind

lol

I see where that comes from mate!

+tattoofun2003 Blackout is just a Yeti, but black. It's not a Yeti Pro.

+Emilie Røsnæs I will get Pro to use it on my reviews
