Blue Microphone has introduced their first THX certified USB Microphone.

The legend of the Yeti continues with the most advanced and versatile multi-pattern USB microphone roaming the wild today. The Yeti features tools and recording capabilities usually requiring multiple microphones and devices, all with the simplicity of a plug and play USB microphone.

Unlike the Icicle adapter I reviewed earlier, this microphone has a headphone port on the bottom.  This one also has 3 capsules arranged such that you can select the specific patten you would like between Cardoid, Omni Directional or Bidirectional.  This looks like a perfect Mic for those who do solo podcasts.  The Yeti will be available in December at a MSRP $149.99.  It will be sold by Apple,  CompUSA, Fry’s Electronics, Guitar Center, other fine pro-audio and consumer electronics retailers and online at Amazon.com.
