Listen to My Voice
The Blue Yeti is compatible with both Windows and Mac OS X and higher. Most of the options have the corresponded controls right on the mic. For instance, a gain control knob changes the volume of recording sound. There's also a volume knob for headphones that you can also connect to the mic via a 3.5mm port. The mute button allows turning the sound off quickly which may come in handy during a live-streaming performance, etc. All in all, considering all the mentioned features, the Blue Yeti mic will satisfy the needs of most customers who seek an optimal choice in terms of price and quality ratio.
PERSONAL STUDIO IN YOUR APARTMENT
The CAD U37 USB Condenser microphone can help you perform professional audio recording right in your home studio or even in a well-soundproof room. It can work with both Windows and Mac OS computers and requires no driver installation. With the 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency range, it's suitable for both speech, singing, and music recording. On the outcome, you can get a pretty warm sound with the accentuated mid-ranges. However, the best part about it is that it costs half the price of the competing mics with similar characteristics.
The mic comes in the set with a small-yet-steady tripod and a 10-feet USB cable to hook it up to your computer. The feature that adds to the usability of the mic is that it's got a special switch on it to reduce bass, dampening the ambient noise in a room. This comes in especially handy during podcasting and live streaming performance when you'd like to derive a clearer sound for your viewers and listeners. Another useful feature we'd like to make a note of is a turn-off -10 dB overload protection. Switching it on allows users to reduce distortion of the banging sound and too loud voices. Overall, we can recommend this mic to all beginning artists, podcasters, and streamers who'd like to use it for recording voice, speech or instrument performance at home.

What is a Recording Microphone
The recording microphones are designed specifically for capturing sound with the highest quality and close attention to the slightest details in order to record it for further reproduction. As a rule, these mics are connected to the special sound recording equipment that comes in different sizes and shapes but, in general, enables various attunements and adjustment. Such equipment can be very expensive but the microphones are sold separately from it. What's more, you can also find high-quality USB mics that are excellent at capturing the quality sound with its smallest tone details right from your computer or even tablet if it has an appropriate USB port.
