Record new content with the Blue Yeti USB mic down to a great price of $100

Here’s your next chance to save big before Black Friday even arrives. Amazon has launched a new set of early Black Friday deals, and one of them is a selection of Blue Yeti USB microphones on sale for $99.99. Choose between Blackout, Whiteout, Silver, Midnight Blue, Satin Red, and Slate. The Yeti used to go on sale a lot more often, but it took a bit of a break in 2020 and hasn’t seen a lot of discounts since. For the Blackout mic, this is the lowest direct discount price we’ve seen since early 2019. The same is true for the others as well. You probably won’t see it get much better than this between now and Black Friday, so grab it while you can because of the more unique colors could sell out.

The Blue Yeti is an incredibly easy mic to use, which makes it great for budding content creators. If you’re looking to record your music or make a podcast or start streaming video games on Twitch, you should start with a Blue Yeti. For one thing, it’s powered by a USB port so it’s really just plug-and-play and works with Windows and Mac.

As a condenser mic it includes a tri-capsule array that works in just about any recording situation. Choose from four audio pickup patterns including cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional, and stereo. These patterns pick up audio from a specific direction, and it’s important to choose the best pattern based on your setup and what you’re trying to record. Cardioid, for example, is a very popular pattern if you’re recording at your computer because it doesn’t pickup audio from behind the mic, letting you keep recording even while you type on a keyboard or click your mouse.

Other features of the mic include gain control, a mute button, and zero-latency headphone monitoring. The Blue Yeti requires 64MB of RAM, which is a pretty simple prerequisite. It’s also backed by a 3-year warranty.
