So I'm looking into buying one of these, but what I want to know, is what else I have to buy in order to use this mic. A Blue icicle? What?

There is no cable with it. I'm a broadcaster. I have it plugged into my portable mixer board with phantom power (also not included). Also, I use it with a stationary mic stand. It is a little too big around to hold comfortably when doing interviews - but the sound quality is very good in a stationary setting.

This microphone requires 48 volt phantom power. If you want to use it with your PC you will need a icicle (or a microphone preamp that has phantom power). You will also need a Female XLR to USB adapter cable if you plan on using a preamp. You will not need the adapter cable if you use the Icicle since the Icicle has the Female XLR and USB connectors on it. I have used both methods and both work equally well.

Well if you're talking about accessories to be able to record through your computer, I recommend getting an audio interface. My interface is the lexicon alpha and it is fantastic, plus, you can get it for just under $50 on Amazon. Obviously, you need to have a cable to run the mic to the interface (which comes separately). Also, if you want to connect it to a mic stand with the spider shock mount that comes with it, you have to get an adapter which is only like 3-5 dollars. This mic is great and has never let me down. Hope you enjoy it and I hoped this helped. If you have any other questions, please ask me again.

Yeah I understood your question, I just wanted to make sure you didnt have to go through the same problem I went through. If you want to know what you need you can refer to A. Mcgall's answer. Cheers

Are you running Windows 7? I ran into some problems trying to get the microphone to work on Windows 7 but would be happy to show you how to do it if needed

Hey Jonathan, this is an awesome mic. No recorder needed. But if your recording from far away a recorder would be best. I do a lot of interviews with mine and it works great.

I know there's a microphone jack on the camera. It's just an RCA plug. Has anyone used a separate mic with the camera? If so, where did you find the microphone? I've been looking on the web. I'm glad that some things are included in the box. From the description, it seemed that there was nothing in the box but the camera -- not even a battery!

That feature works fine, the voice came a little bit lower than the original equipment but clear. Bluetooth works as well as the original equipment. No need to plug the mic, it came the unit built in, as long as the original came with that feature. I hope this help, good luck.

In my ooinion the microphone works good. For the budget buyer it works great. Use an audio software like audacity to record and tweak and sound problems (which I haven't ran I to) and you got yourself a good microphone.

Blue Yeti will screw in without an adapter where the shock mount is screwed in. That means the shock mount that comes with this becomes a knickknack. Blue Yeti does not fit in the shock mount. With that said it seems to not need the shock mount but that depends on what is on the table you have this secured. If you have motors like a hard drive or computer or so on the hum may make its way up the arm and be heard in the mic. But that is going to be true what ever table you place the Blue Yeti regardless of having it on an arm. Then this comes with a XLR connector and cable fished inside the arms metal so that is its not removable. So that becomes unused and dangles. So you will need to secure it with tape or a tie. Bottom line, yes, but two features, the XLR cable and connector plus the shock mount are not needed. Finally this arm is stiff particularly the swivel at the base. So the image of the radio talk show host freely moving the arm around is out the window. It moves but with the idea it will stay in place or within a small range once you do. You can move it but it resists and sometimes can require care to to force against the resistance especially in the swivel, less so in the retraction. The resistance in the retraction is good because you do not want it to sag due to weight. So it seems to hold this mic without sagging.

If the Microphone needs phantom power of 48vdc to run the microphone this will not work. Also impendence is part of the answer as well. If the microphone is high impedance going into a low impedance input you may get an in accurate match for frequency response. This would sound tinny or very low volume. You may have to get preamp or cheap mixer to put between the microphone and your recording device that has phantom power. This is a less than 100.00 fix that will give you the best flexibility as well as keep the noise level down that could come from having to turn your input source up to much. Also looking at other comment if Blue Yeti is USB this would not work. If the Microphone needs phantom power of 48vdc to run the microphone this will not work.

Your going to need some more gear. This is a "Pro" style mic, with an XLR connector on it, and it want 48 volts (or there about) to power it.Look for a small mixer with Phantom power. There are lots out there in the $100 or less category. You'll like having the mixer for a lot of uses.

No. You will also need to buy the shock mount that blue makes for the yeti as the yeti is much larger than a normal microphone.

As far as I know, all of the Blue Yeti's are USB (PRO included), so you wouldn't need something like this.

Hi, I am looking to buy a mic to attach to the accessory shoe on the Camcorder. Can I use any mic or do I need to buy a Panasonic mic only? Please recommend a good brand if I can use any off-the-shelf mic. Thanks!

Make sure it comes with right connector. (4-Pin ??) You'll need to put a battery in the microphone as well.

Personally I use a Blue Snowball with this pop filter. I have a friend who also uses the pop filter with a yeti mic. Id assume it would work well with mics of similar size.

The better question is does the Creative Labs E-MU 0404 support the Mac with the latest drivers. The E-MU 0404 USB combines an external audio sound card and two microphone inputs into one USB unit; with the Microphones being plugged into the E-MU 0404. Your mic, the Yeti Blue mic is a USB mic and hence is being plugged into a USB port also, and not into the E-MU 0404 USB device. Why would you need this? I think the Apple MAC has integrated audio and your software should capture the USB mic input and fix any latencys during the recording. The audio output on the PC will include the mixed audio from the mic. The better question is does the Creative Labs E-MU 0404 support the Mac with the latest drivers.

Honestly the suck. I hooked it up to my sound system it lasted about a month before my records didnt sound right. Your better off getting a older used one. If you wanna record on your computer get audacity or soundwave and a rca to 3.5mm cord and plug in the the mic port.

I got this pop screen and can't figure out how to mount it to the Blue Yeti mic. Thinking I will send it back.
