welcome everyone I'm Ricky from TechTalk and our audio is going to be moving up to
the next level massive thank you to blue who have sent out the blue Yeti nano
premium USB microphone for recording and streaming so today we're gonna get it
unboxed gonna get it set up and I'm gonna give you my first look and first
impressions and also believin go through the key details so taking a very quick
look around our box before we get it unboxed so on the top here you've got
Yeti Nano it's obviously this is the Nano version to the ordinary Yeti the
blue cell it comes in this Cabana gold effect and then three other color
options taking a look at the front you've just got that statement again a
premium USB mic for recording and streaming and you can see it sat in its
dock or a stand here which is really nice so coming around you've got
legendary blue broadcast sound and then loads of key features that we're gonna
go through turning around again you've got your message loud and clear
so your voice is going to be your key here and your message delivering
whatever way you want to carrying on and coming around you've got two different
options here so you've got cardioid where this is directed to you and you're
the main speaker and then you've got omnidirectional options so you can talk
with multiple different people again we'll have a look at this a bit later on
turn to the bottom you just got a bit of system requirements so you've got
Windows 7 8.1 10 then you need USB 1 - 2 or 3 then you can use this with Mac OS
10 10 or higher and again USB 1 - 2 or 3 point 9 so now let's get it unboxed so
at the top here you've got a little tab that you just need to pull out here
there's also one on the bottom I'm going to choose the one at the top slip it in
our eyelid up here it's always like a box inside a box a little bit so inside
festival we're gonna find people work and I've
had a blue microphone before I can't remember the model I think it was a
snowball but I do want to look through the paperwork and actually use this to
the best ability to I want to use it as my main audio source for the channel now
so you have a detailed product guide information here that we can go through
then it tells you about the Sherpa composition app here that you can
download and you use with your microphone to make it sound the best
possible for you and setup either if you're recording or
streaming then save 20% when you register as well for accessories and
other products quite like t-shirts as well they're quite nice so that's all
your paperwork there and you've got some phone line in here to protect your
little Yeti you then have your connection cable which is a USB a two
micro USB so you connect to the micro USB into the microphone and then that
USB a like I said either port one two or three USB will connect into your PC or
your Mac your choice of course you know with me it's gonna go into my maps at
inside there you can see the Yeti Nano so you do have a thread here that you
can then screw on to a boom arm or some other accessories that we'll talk about
a little bit later on then finally you have the microphone itself and I do love
this color here this Cabaye no gold collapse really nice you have a bit more
protection here so you can actually swivel this around take away the foam
pad in protection there and we'll turn it back around so there you go it's on
its mount here so while do is I'll set this all back up and I'll be back in one
second so welcome back our Yeti Nano it's all setup here and you can see that
by the green halo ring there so if you press that in that will then turn to red
which means it's muted for you quite easily to actually detect they're not
see that's your volume control as well for your headphones when you plug in
some headphones but let's go through the key details the review video will be
recorded with the Yeti nano microphone and I'll pair it like with the lav
microphone I have at the moment and that's where you can really see the key
differences and how it actually works and I think it's the best way I can show
you in the video so I'm going to use it for a couple of weeks get to know it use
the software as well that comes along with it and actually really experience
it as much as I can and then I can give you a more in depth review but it does
look absolutely stunning in this color here so except the color is a Kapono
gold it's like a gold effect it looks really nice and there's three other
colors in the description you're gonna see a link to Amazon and also to Blue
Microphones websites currently in the moment price range for this product is
anywhere from 80 pounds to a hundred pounds depending where you look or see
links will be in description to the cheapest places available so is a
Premium USB microphone which means is plugged into my MacBook Pro currently
but sat to the right hand side but also it could be plugged into a PC it does
have a cable management system which I really do like here cable bends around
underneath the metal frame here looks really nice really sturdy this can
actually detach off as I've shown in the little clips of videos when we've gone
round a microphone in clearer detail that's a really good thing as well if
you want to add to something else so this product is going to be perfect for
podcasting either game streaming Skype calls work calls youtuber music so you
can use it for I hold you from range of different things depending on what you
do in your creative life for me as a YouTube content creator you can have a
guess where it's gonna be used for also I do podcasts as well with the tech
addicts podcast and I've done the travel geeks podcast as well and going off to
Berlin I'm gonna be doing podcasts from ether Berlin folds away and it's awesome
to actually use as a travel microphone this microphone offers no latency for
the headphone outs as well so there's gonna be no latency from what you say to
what you hear and the headphone has its own volume and mic mute so you can mute
to the mic as I've just shown you there by pressing this middle button that
actually mute the microphone for you you can plug in headphones and listen to
yourself back and you can change it adjust the volume with a little dial
here as I have shown you it comes with standard threading for optional radius
three shock mount or you can use a compass boom also it comes with this
attachment here that you screw in at the bottom to actually attach to your
microphone to attach to a different product as well by accessory from blue
microphone or third-party option as you've seen it's a plug and play option
it just plugged into my Mac the green light come on straight away and it works
straight away as long as you're on the latest Mac OS and on the latest windows
make sure you updates but here's plug and play system which is really easy
like I said I went through the system requirements before we got it unboxed
this microphone support sample right up to 24 bits at 48 kilohertz then also it
offers two different patterns of pickup or the way you actually use your
microphone one of them is called cardioid and one of them is called
omnidirectional so what's the difference so cardioid first of all it's
perfect for podcasts with a single host game streaming Skype calls with
performance voiceovers and also instruments the cardioid mode records
sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone delivering rich and
full-bodied sound that's what cardioid option does then you have
omnidirectional so not all microphones offer two different options here so
omnidirectional can record or stream sound equally from all around the
microphone omnidirectional mode is best used in situations when you want to have
a conference call with multiple participants in the same room or a multi
personal interview so if I was having an into someone out put them the other side
and then turn on that mode so they don't just hear me they hear everyone well so
you could do that for podcast if I had loads of people around me I could then
use that for podcast really bring everyone into the podcast and you then
as a listener would be able to hear everyone so looking forward to using
this when I do a podcast when there's loads of people and when there's just me
and we can see the differences and I'll bring you the results in my review the
Yeti Nano is a premium USB microphone it designed for broadcasting quality
podcasting YouTube productions gaming streaming Skype voice over internet and
voice over were inspired by the number one selling blue Yeti microphone Yeti
nano features a 24-bit sound quality a compact design a plug and play operation
for instant streaming with your PC or Mac the premium finish looks great on
camera and on any desktop with a no latency headphone output and controls
for headphone volume mic mute and pick up patterns Yeti nano is the essential
mic for today's broadcasters and that's a really good true statement as a
youtuber as a content creator that's what I want to bring to you my audience
I want to take my audio to the next level
so it's better in performance it sounds better on whatever device is you you so
currently I have a lab mic that's tied onto my shirt at the moment and again
that's very focal to where my voice is if I use the cardioid option here from
this microphone it's gonna sound so much better
obviously there's loads more features to go through and we will do in the review
