Question:	Are you able to use this as a usb mic / be able to put this into your macbook pro
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Does it come with a stand or an XLR cable
Answer:	Depends, what are you recording? Original yeti is large and a bit more versatile, you can record in 4 different audio direction, i.e omnidirectional, cardioid, bidirectional, and stereo making it ideal for recording YouTube videos, podcasts, large groups, or instrumentals. Yeti nano has 2 audio recording options , Omni and bidirectional, so made more for podcasts and YouTube videos. It’s also smaller. If you want to check out the nano I did a unboxing of the gold yeti nano, search on YouTube Julian Lonzoe yeti nano. It looks pretty awesome.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will a samson mk-10 mic stand hold this microphone? if not, can someone tell me where to get the correct size mic clip
Answer:	The microphone comes with a shock mount and mic clip that will both fit any standard microphone stand including your Samson.
Question:	Is it normal for this mic to have exposed wiring? I mean the bottom cap in the mic to come off easily
Answer:	Not normal. Only if you unscrew and remove the bottom of the microphone would you see the wires going from the XLR jack onto the circuit board. If they are hanging out with the bottom screwed on, I would imaging they might have been damaged from being smashed. In that case I would return/exchange the microphone. If the wires aren't damaged, I'd just push them inside the microphone and screw the bottom piece back on securely. Should be all good.
Question:	Which one of these allow me to connect to a computer via usb? The midnight blue or the champagne
Answer:	You need a audio interface and xlr cable for this microphone
Question:	I want to use this mic for an instrument, would it work OK
Answer:	Actually 3/4" is not large - and it's the same sensor that's in the 991 stick mic. It is an ideal mic for acoustic instruments - which means a totally flat response in the mid range frequencies of which vocal is only an example. Let that be your guide. I have no experience with any other use. Same is true for the stick mic.

User questions & answers

Question:	How is the AT2020PLUS different from the regular AT
Answer:	I have both. The AT2020 was great for general recording purposes, but for singing or voiceover I do LOVE the monitor jack and the slider. The slider will let you balance what comes into your monitor (your earbuds, headphones, whatever you plug in to the jack) so you can choose how much of the mic versus the PC comes into your ears. This gets important because if you rely on the PC to feed your voice back to you, there is a slight signal delay that can get awkward. You don't have to use the monitor, and it doesn't affect the act of recording. Hope that helps!
Question:	Does this work with windows 10? I need someone who actually uses it on win10 machine, not someone selling them. I have at2020 not working w/ win
Answer:	Yes, I'm running Windows 10 with Audacity recording software. By the way, with this one-directional mic, it's very important to be speaking INTO THE BLUE LIGHT behind the screen. That's the one-directional "sweet spot." And, you didn't ask, but I record (as do most of my professional colleagues now stuck at home) into the free software "Audacity." Some have found that If you plug in the mic AFTER you load Audacity, it may not recognize AT2020+ as a microphone choice, and while it may still record, the results will be unsatisfactory. If or when that happens, just restart Audacity AFTER plugging the USB into your computer and click on the AT2020+ option.
Question:	Is this a one-directional mic? I was told that a one-directional mic is best for recording podcasts
Answer:	Yes, and it's very important to be speaking INTO THE BLUE LIGHT behind the screen. That's the one-directional "sweet spot." And, you didn't ask, but I record (as do most of my professional colleagues now stuck at home) into the free software "Audacity." Some have found that If you plug in the mic AFTER you load Audacity, it may not recognize AT2020+ as a microphone choice and while it may still record, the results will be unsatisfactory. If or when that happens, just restart Audacity AFTER plugging the USB into your computer and click on the AT2020+ option.
Question:	is it possible to listen to a downloaded .mp3 instrumental (NOT instrument) on my PC and hear that while i record over it using this mic
Answer:	Yes, using the monitor dial on mic itself, toggling between PC sound and your own, or setting accordingly until balance suites you. (using plugged in headphones into mic)
