I have a lot of background noise from fans running. Will this eliminate that background noise so I don't have the constant humming in my lectures?

The defuser eliminates most if not all the back ground noises. The Blue Yeti is one of the best buys I have made for microphones.

If you get close to the mic, within 2-3", then the gain of your software can be lower, thereby reducing the background noise. Additionally, since this mic also has a cardiod pickup pattern, if the noise is anywhere except the front of the mic, it will also be further reduced, enhancing your voice in front of it.

The best way to kill this kind of background noise is via software. Most good sound editing software has a noise filter/reduction tool. What you do is allow about 30 seconds of silence before you actually use the mic and start your recording. In editing grab that 30 seconds of silence and use it as the "Noise Print" for noise reduction. What this does is the reduction software will work through youyr recording looking for the noise you gave it and remove it. If the background noise is from a steady source, like a fan this will pull the noise right out.

If you work it with the cardiod pattern, work it close and reduce the gain you should be able to reduce the background noise. You could also surround the mic with a sound shield - I think Amazon has these three sided foam contraptions.

Depending on the mode you choose, the microphone is very directional. As long as the fan is not behind you or in the direction you have the mic set to pick up, you shouldn't hear the fan unless you have it blowing right on the mic.

The unit is not that loud. You of course can hear it running but the humming noise is tolerable.

I haven't had an issue with the mic at all. I used it for a class and had it live for 8hrs a day for 5 days and never heard a hum

Unfortunately no. I don't know a lot about this stuff, but I understand optical can eliminate hum. Others will be more knowledgeable. I myself would like to know if the annoying hum would be eliminated. Anyone know?

If you're 100% sure it's not the source, then yes. I don't have hum unless I am on high volume but I have had a lot of source hum from my sound card. So check that out before shipping it off.

Well, let me qualify my response, not unless the 'appliance' you have plugged in to happens to produce a humming sound. For whatever reason that is. LMAO!

The only way I know to reduce noise is by recording our music with the AUDACITY software with noise reducer can envelver all the noise of our Audible track.Sorry for my English

There is very little noise with my unit when the fan isn't running. And the only times so far that the fans have kicked in were when I had it hooked to my TV as an external display. Don't get me wrong, the fans are far from silent when they do kick in, but with fairly normal use, they usually don't.

No, or at least I would not recommend it. I did take a can of silicon lubricant and spray it on the fans. Now it seems that the sound is quieter and more like fans than the previous sound that was marginally annoying at times.

Yes, but as I did, you may have to change to the directional mode if you are using the multi-directional setting. It cuts out all the background noise.

As long as your fan is clean, there really shouldn't be much noise under different load mods. I haven't heard that the fan is an issue.

It sounds like a small desktop. So its relative to the surrounding environment. If you have only have a fan-less laptop you will notice when its running.

I always have my computer on top of a book so that the fans can keep the computer cool. So, I don't notice any muffling. The sound is pretty good.

That is what I had awhile back. You will hear a different. There is no more hissing or noise in the background. The copper wall in the card that divide the circuits is a plus to prevent the noise and hissing.

I'm not sure of the design details but suspect the low power setting has a smoother sine wave output so won't cause "hum" in audio when used to power audio devices. Aybe somebody else as looked into the design in detail.

Use Audacity. It's free and under the "Effect" menu, you can use the noise removal option which will take out all background noise.

i doubt it. from what i know having your equipment plugged into different circuits would only make the hum worse. in any case if your equipment hums it is probably not worth spending this much money to fix the problem. good equipment doesn't hum no matter where you plug it in. i suggest getting equipment that uses balanced ( XLR ) or digital ( Optical / Coaxial / XLR ) interconnects. Regular consumer unbalanced analog technology is inherently inferior and was never designed for high performance.
