Test: Blue YETI USB mikrofon

Konklusion:

Endelig fik jeg lov at prøve den MEGET omtalte Blue YETI mikrofon. Helhedsindtrykket er faktisk, at det er en rigtig god mikrofon. Man skal dog ud og købe en del tilbehør efter min mening, hvis det skal være helt godt. En mikrofon arm med shockmount og popfilter er hvad man som minimum skal have for, at det bliver helt godt. Men selve kvaliteten af optagelserne fejler ikke noget. Man får en masse muligheder, og kan lave en masse sjov med mikrofonen, hvis man skal bruge den til sang og interviews.

Den eneste rigtige bagdel i selve kvaliteten er, at potentiometrene virker billige.. Jeg kunne godt have tænkt mig, at de var en rigtig god kvalitet med oliedæmpning. Så have man fået fornemmelsen af kvalitet i min verden. Funktionsmæssigt mangler jeg en mulighed for at slukke monitor funktionen, hvis man skal bruge mikrofonen som lydkort. Det er lidt træls at man hele tiden kan høre sig selv i sit headset når man sidder og spiller.

Man får en rigtig lækker mikrofon med massere af muligheder. Den virker og ser professionel ud. Der er dog lige et problem med følelsen af kvalitet med potentiometrene, og muligheden for at slukke monitor funktionen. Udover det, synes jeg godt Blue kunne have givet foden et blødere underlag, så den ikke førte al støjen fra underlaget op i mikrofonen.

Bundle/Tilbehør - 2
Man får et godt langt kabel og en brugervejledning. Det er nogenlunde alt. Der kunne måske godt have været en lille transport taske, så den ikke bliver ridset og skadet under transport til og fra LAN.

Design/Layout - 4
Designet af mikrofonen er rigtig lækkert og retro. Jeg synes den ser rigtig godt ud.

Ydelse/Performance - 3
Jeg synes faktisk, at mikrofonen gør det den skal, og ret tilfredsstillende. Men umiddelbart skal man altså ud og købe en del ekstra tilbehør for, at få det perfekte resultat.

Pris - 3
Med en prismærkat på over 1000 DKK skal man virkelig have noget at bruge denne mikrofon til. Jeg synes måske ikke helt prisen stemmer overens med det man får. hvis den skulle have toppet her, skulle potentiometrene have været bedre, og foden skulle have været bedre dæmpet, så man ikke får så meget støj med fra underlaget.

 

UK summary:

Finally, I was able to try the VERY mentioned Blue YETI microphone. The overall impression is that it's a really good microphone. However, one should go out and buy some accessories in my opinion, if it should be a it's best. A microphone arm with shock mount and pop filter is what is needed as a minimum. But the quality of the recordings is still really good. You get a lot of options and can make a lot of fun with the microphone if you need it for singing and interviews.

The only real drawback in the actual quality as that the potentiometers seems cheap .. I might have liked that they had a really good quality with oil damping. Then they would have had the feel of quality in my world. Functionally, I am missing a chance to turn off the monitor function if you have to use the microphone as a sound card. It's a bit annoying that you constantly hear yourself in the headset when you are gaming.

You get a really nice microphone with plenty of options. It works and looks professional. However, there is just a problem with the feeling of quality with the potentiometers, and the possibility to turn off the monitor function. Besides that, I think Blue could have given the base a softer surface so that it does not lead all the noise from the base up to the microphone.

Bundle/Accessories - 2
You get a good long cable and a user manual. It is roughly everything. There might well have been a small carrying bag so it does not get scratched and damaged during transport to and from LAN.

Design/Layout - 4
The design of the microphone is really nice and retro. I think it looks really good.

Performance - 3
I actually think that the microphone works as intended, and quite satisfactory. But immediately you must then go out and buy some additional accessories to get the perfect result.

Price - 3
With a price tag of over 1000 DKK you really must have some important use for this microphone. I think that the price does not quite line up with what you get. If it were to have peaked here potentiometers should have been better and the foot should have been more damped, so you do not get as much noise from the base.
