The pandemic has led to a lot of people working from home and increased the need for those remote workers to have good quality audio and video. If you find yourself in the market for a new microphone but don’t know where to start you might consider the new Blue Yeti Nano.
The Blue Yeti Nano is the latest product produced by Blue microphones. It is a smaller version of their original Blue Yeti.
This version is 4.7 inches tall and has a circumference of 3 inches. It comes with a weighted stand, a 4ft micro USB to USB A and a boom arm adapter. The microphone ships in a shaped foam case so there are no concerns about damage during transport.
