How’s it going everyone.
Hope all is well.
Happy holidays and happy almost 2022 the new year.
I’m Muwen360 and I’m back with a video review on the Blue Yeti X USB microphone for
gaming, streaming and podcasting.
I think many of us are no stranger to the Blue Microphones brand.
Blue has a huge following among creators on YouTube and for just all content creators
in general.
They make excellent microphones that are easy to use and sound impeccable.
I personally have used Blue since 2013 starting with the original Snowball, then the Yeti
nano, and now the Yeti X.
In this review, I will give you an overview of the features as well as letting you listen
to a sound test at the end.
The Yeti line is Blue’s flagship series as far as USB condenser microphones are concerned.
The Yeti X is like the middle child in of the lineup sitting below the Yeti pro and
yeticaster but above the Yeti and the Yeti nano.
I think the Yeti X is a fantastic option for someone who wants something more than the
regular Yeti has to offer but don’t want to spend a lot of cash for the Yeti pro.
For starters, the Yeti X is extremely sturdy and well made.
The entire body of the mic is made out of solid aluminum.
The same with the microphone stand.
The microphone is tiltable so you can find the most comfortable position for use.
What sets the Yeti X apart from the regular Yeti is that the Yeti X features a four-capsule
condenser array inside for clearer, more focused pickup patterns.
The regular Yeti’s capsule has 3 condensers.
You can switch between four pick up patterns on the back with a press of this button.
Cardioid, omni directional, bi directional and stereo.
Here is a description of each of the Yeti X’s polar patterns.
Please pause the video if you’d like to learn more.
The next feature unique to the Yeti X is High-Res LED Metering which allows you to take control
of your on-stream sound with Yeti X’s 11-segment LED meter.
At a glance you can check if your voice level is too high or too low and adjust accordingly.
A game changer for live streamers, the LED meter allows you to easily maintain professional
sound quality while live on camera.
Alright, enough of me talking about the Yeti X.
Let’s put the Yeti X into action and hear how it sounds.
So in three two one I’m going to switch over to the Yeti X.
Now I’m speaking to you through the Yeti X. I will read an excerpt from an online news
article to give you an idea of the sound quality of the his mic.
The U.S. record for daily coronavirus cases has been broken, as two highly contagious
variants — Delta and Omicron — have converged to disrupt holiday travel and gatherings,
deplete hospital staffs and plunge the United States into another long winter.
As a third year of the pandemic loomed, the seven-day average of U.S. cases topped 267,000
on Tuesday, according to a New York Times database.
The record came just a day after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reduced
the number of days that infected Americans should remain isolated to five days, from
10.
The C.D.C. changed course as Omicron’s rapid spread has worsened a labor shortage, upending
the hospitality, medical and travel industries, among others.
The agency did not recommend rapid testing before people left isolation and experts warned
that omission risked seeding new cases and heaping even more pressure on already overburdened
health systems.
The previous U.S. daily cases record was set on Jan. 11, 2021, when the seven-day average
was 251,232.
That was during a catastrophic winter that was far worse than this moment, when over
62 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated.
And early evidence, including some hopeful reports from South Africa, suggests Omicron
causes milder symptoms than other variants, with vaccinations and boosters helping prevent
serious illness and death.
