How-To

Instructions

 

 

 

 

 

Step 1 - Turn on the lights in the room using the top on/off buttons on the remote stuck to the wall just outside the door 

Step 2 - Plug the USB cable from the microphone into your computer or the supplied adapter. If using the adapter, plug that into your computer 

Step 3 - If prompted, allow any driver or software updates 

Step 4 - Adjust the arm for the microphone so that the microphone is roughly one foot from your mouth and standing perpendicular, with the microphone grill on the bottom 

Step 5 - Put on the headphones and ensure that they are plugged into the microphone 

Step 6 - On your computer, open the recording program you wish to use 

Step 7 - Select the Yeti microphone from available microphones in your recording program 

Step 8 - Adjust the physical settings on the back of the microphone. A cardioid (heart shaped) polar pattern and a gain setting approximately in the center will be appropriate for most single users doing podcasts, voiceovers, vocals or using an instrument.
