Yeti THX Certified USB Microphone Makes Pro Recording Portable

Ah, Mr Digi Rack. Where would I be without you? Makin’ tracks all over the world is where. Man, you tyin’ me down.

Recording professional-quality vocals (or live guitar and bass for that matter) requires a lot more equipment than Apple would lead you to believe in their on-the-go music-creation commercials. A MacBook with Logic or GarageBand — all you need, right? Well actually, yes — now it is thanks to this pro mic called the Yeti THX Certified USB Microphone.

Plugging straight into your USB port on either PC or Mac (instead of a large and heavy digital I/O interface), the Yeti THX Certified USB Microphone frees your creativity and pro-recording capabilities from the confines of your bedroom – letting you easily lay down top quality vocal tracks at a band-mate’s place or rehearsal studio without needing a van to cart your gear. Better still, you can use it to record live guitar and bass tracks too by mic-ing up an available amp (just like a session in a recording studio).

Featuring built-in gain control, mute and a zero-latency headphone output (a great addition to ensure echo-free feedback), the Yeti THX Certified USB Microphone also comes equipped with not 1, not 2, but 3 condenser capsules (cardioid, bidirectional and omnidirectional/stereo) for the flexibility to record almost any situation.

Great for podcasting or conducting interviews too, or to ensure you’re coming across loud and clear during conference calls, the Yeti THX Certified USB Microphone is available now from ThinkGeek for $149.99.
