YETI X AT A GLANCE 1 FOUR-CAPSULE ARRAY Yeti X features an all-new four-capsule condenser array, which delivers four pickup patterns with greater focus and clarity than ever. 2 MULTI-FUNCTION SMART KNOB Controls key features including microphone gain, mute, headphone volume and Blend balance. See the Multi-Function Smart Knob section for more information. 3 4 11-SEGMENT LED METER Visualize your voice level with the Yeti X microphone’s 11-segment LED meter.
MULTI-FUNCTION SMART KNOB AND LED METERING One of Yeti X’s most powerful features is its revolutionary multi-function smart knob, which gives you instant control of essential functions, right at your fingertips. The 11-segment LED meter around the knob displays important information at a glance, helping you maintain professional sound while recording or streaming. SMART KNOB CONTROLS • Turn the knob to adjust gain, headphone volume and Blend settings.
MODE 1: MICROPHONE GAIN AND METERING When the microphone symbol on the left is lit, the smart knob will control Yeti X’s microphone gain, and the meters will show the peak level of the signal in real time with green, yellow and red LEDs. When you move the knob to increase or decrease gain, the meter will temporarily change to blue, showing the gain level you are setting. For the best sound, set the gain so that your loudest speech peaks at the first or second yellow light.
PICKUP PATTERNS Yeti X can be used in four different settings, called pickup patterns (also known as polar patterns). Pickup patterns represent the directions that the microphone will (or won’t) pick up sound from, and each has its own uses. 8 CARDIOID BIDIRECTIONAL Perfect for podcasting, game streaming, Skype or Discord calls, vocals and instruments, the cardioid setting captures sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone with a rich, full-bodied sound.
