The Blue Yeti USB mic is great. It's a USB desk stand microphone.

Hey.

I have a Blue Snowball mic. Not sure how that differs from the yeti exactly, but it is omnidirectional and basically picks up everything in my apartment -- it would be perfect for a conference table I guess, ideally, but it's also good for personal use. I waas a little skeptical at first, but I even use it for podcasting and it works well enough. It's probably all told one of the better non-studio-quality mics I've used honestly.

I have found the akg lyrica very nice, and it has several modes, so
you can use it as a personal, mic, or front and back. There are several capsules in it and it has a stand, but you can unmount the mic from the stand if you want. I bought it from Sweetwater sound who are very supportive. On Mon, 27 Dec 2021 19:22:52 -0500, JM Casey wrote: -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. I went with JM's Blue Snowball, which looks most suitable for my needs.

Cool. I hope you find it satisfactory.

I must say it looks kind of good on my desk with its funky design. You'll understand when you get it and put it on its little tripod stand.. it really is ball shaped and oddly textured.

Curious about the blue snowball: Is that a brand name or just the color? Where can I search for that one?

Sorry to break into your conversation, but I use a Samsong GO desktopmulti directional microphone and it works quite well and picks up alot of background stuff also.
Just thought I would throw that in.. Sorry. -- Morey Worthington

Think it is a brand-name; some Wal-Marts used to carry them; not sure if they still do or not, but that's where mine came from!

Well Tom, it's described as a snowball; I assume it's spherical: Does it have a stand; and what kind of connection does it have and where is it? Many years ago, I had a ball-shaped mic that was very good for music. It was at the beginning of the stereo era and it was only one mic, mono. We didn't use it much for recording our band. That was in about 1960. Then I bought a pair of Shure D55s that we used quite a bit. Still have those Shures.

Howard: I don't know that my description will be completely accurate, but here goes: the mic itself is shaped much like a ball; don't know what type of material it's made out of, but it'd be something (not that I ever would want to have to do it) but you could club someone over the head with that thing and put their lights out! It has legs that unfold and set it up like a desk mic (don't know the dimensions) it is a USB mic; something that I have found out recently could be a "not-so-good thing if you plan to record music with it, due to the way it works with latency! But if you're going to do voice chatting, it works very well in my opinion! Now the model I have (and I really don't have a model number) but it has no buttons on it (I know that they make one (or maybe used to )that had either a button or switch that adjusted the volume of the mic. However, this one I have does not work in this way! So I hope that my description gives you some idea of what this thing looks like and how it works!

yes, it is a fat ball with a neat design that sits on a small tripod stand. It is a uSB connection (this is what Adrian asked for) with the jack located in the back of the device.
