The Blue Yeti X is a flagship USB condenser microphone manufactured by Blue Microphones (now part of Logitech G), designed for streaming, podcasting, and content creation. Released in 2020, it features a four-capsule array that delivers higher clarity and focus compared to the standard Blue Yeti, recording at 24-bit/48kHz resolution.
Key features include customizable LED metering with an 11-segment ring, a multi-function smart knob for controlling gain, mute, and headphone volume, and integration with Blue VO!CE software for broadcast vocal effects. It supports four pickup patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional, and stereo. The microphone connects via USB and typically retails between $139.99 and $229.99, depending on the retailer and condition.
