Using Yeti Pro in Analog Mode
Not only can you plug your Yeti Pro directly into your computer to record high fidelity recordings, but you can also plug Yeti
Pro into a phantom power-capable microphone preamplifier and record as you would a standard microphone! To use Yeti Pro
in Analog Mode, you will need to plug the supplied Y-cable into the 5 pin connector at the bottom of the Yeti Pro microphone.
If you are going to use the Yeti Pro in Stereo, you will need two microphone preamplifiers (or a two channel preamp). As with
all other stereo recordings, using matched preamplifiers will provide the best results. The white XLR connector on the Y-cable
carries the left channel signal, and the red XLR connector on the Y-cable carries the right channel signal. If you are recording
in Cardioid, Omnidirectional, or Bidirectional, you’ll only need to plug in the white (left) XLR connector into a preamplifier (both
channels will output the same signal).
Once you’ve plugged the Yeti Pro into your microphone preamplifier(s), set the microphone gain on the microphone to zero.
Once you’re plugged into your preamplifier(s), you’ll want to control the gain with your microphone preamplifier(s) as opposed
to the gain on the Yeti Pro microphone.
