Blue Yeti X USB Microphone for PC Mac, Gaming, Podcast, Stream:our long-term commitment to exceeding customer expectations is the driving force behind our success. This review is based on my setup, which I use to record a podcast and YouTube narration on a 2018 iMac and Garageband.Before I got the Blue Yeti X, I recorded on a Blue Yeti Blackout edition. The Blue Yeti X uses 4 capsules over the Blackout's 3. The Yeti X clearly records a warmer and crisper voice, but I find it drops a bit of the lower range in my voice. Some people have said the buttons to control gain and monitoring are cumbersome, but I didn't have that problem. I think the Blackout edition is easier to use (you just turn a couple of knobs), but the Yeti X has LED displays on the gain. You can tell if your clipping (going to red and distorting the sound) and adjust your gain on the fly. Like the Blackout, the Yeti X is very sensitive and I don't need to turn the gain up more than the second LED light. Otherwise, it would clip. By default, the Yeti X uses the cardioid pickup pattern. I think the Yeti X rejected off-pattern sound better than the Blackout edition.Now for some complaints. The Blue Voice software isn't available for Macs, only Windows. This software would have been magnificent for mixing your output. I've listened to numerous examples with Low Soft Voice and Broadcast, and people sound great. This is unfortunate and it makes me NOT recommend the microphone for Mac users. My other quibble deals with the volume. I can only use the monitoring on the Yeti X to control the volume to my headphones. With the Blackout edition, I could use the Mac's control as well as the knob on the microphone.Overall, the Blue Yeti X is an improvement over the Blue Yeti Blackout edition, but skip it as a Mac user. Until Blue and Logitech make the voice mixing software available, you won't get your money's worth. Stick to the Blue Yeti and Blue Yeti Pro for now.max 53% off,colorado springs mall,chicago mallBlue Yeti X USB Microphone for PC Mac, Gaming, Podcast, Stream

Four Patterns for Ultimate Versatility
Four distinct pickup patterns allow you to record and stream in ways that would normally require multiple microphones.
Cardioid Mode
Well-suited to podcasting, game streaming, Skype calls, vocals and instruments, cardioid mode captures sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone. It delivers rich, full-bodied sound.
Omni Mode
Omni mode picks up sound equally from all around the mic. Itâs best used in situations when you want to capture the ambience of "being there," like a conference call.
Bidirectional Mode
Bidirectional mode records from both the front and the rear of the microphone. It is ideal for recording or streaming interviews between two people.
Stereo Mode
Stereo mode uses both the left and right channels and is ideal for capturing a realistic sound image when there are multiple sound sources in front of the mic.
