Overview
It adds a 3D proximity sensor, AI noise reduction and a 1.3-inch display.
Overview
Logitech is updating a classic. The Yeti 2 is a reimagined sequel to the original Blue Yeti USB microphone. Despite originally launching in 2009, the original Yeti is still a popular pick for podcasters and streamers. The new model tries to modernize things with a 3D proximity sensor, AI-powered noise reduction and a built-in mascot.
Features
The Yeti 2's 3D proximity sensor is designed to make level and directional adjustments as simple as possible. Logitech says it tracks your voice in space, automatically adjusting gain, EQ and pickup patterns as you move. Automatic gain and tracking are enabled out of the box.
Features
Meanwhile, an onboard AI denoiser is designed to reduce unwanted background sounds like mouse clicks and keystrokes. If the package works as expected, this could make the mic friendlier for people who do not want to manage complex microphone levels.
Design and Display
The microphone features a new 1.3-inch LED display that provides visual feedback on gain and directional patterns. Custom avatars will also be available through Logitech's G Hub software for users who prefer alternatives.
The mic has a redesigned three-capsule array, 24-bit / 48kHz recording, several directional modes and a headphone jack for monitoring. There is a capacitive mute button, a physical control dial and five stored presets.
The Logitech G Blue Yeti 2 is available now in black and white options. It retails for $160 from Logitech's website and third-party retail partners.
