For more information, please visit the “User Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of Yeti Nano, a premium USB microphone designed for broadcast-quality podcasting, YouTube, game streaming, Skype/VoIP and voiceover work. Yeti Nano features Blue’s legendary sound quality, and its compact design and premium finish look great on camera and on your desktop. Plug ‘n play on PC/Mac, Yeti Nano gets you streaming instantly. With a no- latency headphone output, and controls for headphone volume, mic mute and pickup pattern, Yeti Nano brings 24-bit broadcast sound to your recordings and streams.

GETTING STARTED

GETTING STARTED WITH YETI NANO

After unpacking your Yeti Nano, rotate the microphone 180 degrees so that the Blue logo and headphone volume control are facing you. Adjust the microphone to your desired angle, then tighten the set-screws on the left and right of the base. Connect Yeti Nano to your computer with the supplied USB cable—the headphone volume button will light up, indicating power has reached the mic.

Yeti Nano is a side-address microphone, which means you should speak, sing, and play into the front (not top) of the microphone while facing the Blue logo. Now you can start recording and streaming in stunning audio quality.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR YETI NANO

  • DUAL CAPSULE ARRAY Two condenser capsules enable great sound for recording and streaming.
  • HEADPHONE VOLUME CONTROL Easily adjusts Yeti Nano’s headphone output by turning the volume knob.
  • MUTE BUTTON Press the headphone volume button to mute/unmute. The LED will be red when muted and green when active.
  • HEADPHONE OUTPUT Yeti Nano includes a standard 1/8” (3.5mm) headphone jack for monitoring and playback. Use Yeti Nano’s headphone output to monitor your microphone recording in real time, without latency delays.
  • THREAD MOUNT If you would like to mount your Yeti Nano to a standard microphone studio mount, remove the Yeti Nano from the included desk stand, attach the included stand adapter, and thread in a standard threaded mount. For broadcast applications, we recommend Blue’s Compass desktop boom arm. To isolate Yeti Nano from noise, movement and ambient vibration, add the Radius III shock mount.
  • USB CONNECTION Yeti Nano connects to your computer with one simple USB cable.
  • PATTERN SELECTION Toggle between Yeti Nano’s two pattern settings (cardioid and omnidirectional) by pressing the pattern selector button on the back of the mic.

SWITCHABLE POLAR PATTERNS

CARDIOID

  • Perfect for podcasts, game streaming, vocal performances, voiceovers and instruments.
  • Cardioid mode records sound sources that are directly in front of the microphone, delivering rich, full-bodied sound.

OMNIDIRECTIONAL

  • Picks up sound equally from all around the mic.
  • It’s best used in situations when you want to capture the ambience of “being there”—like recording a band’s live performance, a multi-person podcast or a conference call.
