well it is important because many computers I've
seen detect the yeti as a speaker as well as a
microphone, and you do not wish it to be
recognized as any kind of "speaker." :) It
doesn't mean that you can listen to your computer
through the headphone output of the yeti, :) as I
know you know, but just had to say it. :)
hey, great sound you have with that! I wonder if
it is the same yeti as I have? I bought mine over
3 years ago and was called the "blue yeti," and
cost about the same as yours from Amazon at the time.

Okay, I'll get to your point in a moment as I
configured my Blue Yeti on my Mac, the Mac
recognised the Blue Yeti straight away as a
"Sound Device" so I just plugged my B&W P7's
into the headphone output jack and away I went.
So - if I configure this thing under Windows -
why is it important to configure the device not
as a speaker? I doubt that even the controller
would let you configure to anything but 2
channel stereo and besides, headphones plug into the output of the Blue Yeti.

One thing you will have to do is tell your
computer is not a "speaker," and disable that or you may have issues. :)

I do agree though with the author of the
article who put me onto the Blue Yeti in the
first place where he points out that you'll
most want to get a few cheap accessories with
your Blue Yeti to make it sound even better
and I'm waiting on my Shockmount and Pop
filter to arrive, I hope that I'll have those by the end of the week.
Other than those additions the microphone is a
very fine specimen of audio engineering.
One of the extra features incorporated into
this microphone is the Headphones socket which
allows you to listen to the microphone in real
time along with the output from your computer
- the Blue Yeti acts as a sound card when
connected to your computer via USB -, I was
testing the Blue Yeti with some DJ software
yesterday and the ability to be able to listen
to your Microphone in real time through
headphones whilst listening to output streams
from your computer is a most beneficial one,
wish I'd had a device like the Blue Yeti years
ago to do this sort of thing as it would have saved me many hours of annoyance.

Hi!
I ordered one of these microphones yesterday
and I should receive it today so Iâm very
much looking forward to testing the device
since Iâve read so many good reviews and reports on the mic.
The Blue Yeti wonât sound as good as it
should at this time as Iâm still awaiting
on several other accessories to enhance the
mic such as a mountshock, pop blocker and
another microphone stand, should have those
next week thus even more fun testing <smile>.
Iâll share my initial tests with the list
so others can hear what the Yeti sounds like
though Iâm sure there might be a certain
amount of noise from other equipment in the
room such has the Mac computer itself?
Anyway weâll hear all about it shortly.
