Logitech unveils Blue Yeti 2 microphone with 3D proximity sensor
Logitech has unveiled the Logitech G Blue Yeti 2, the successor to the popular Blue Yeti USB microphone launched in 2009. The microphone is designed for people who produce podcasts, livestreams and videos. Available in black and white, the model costs $159.99 (approximately 270 AZN).
The new microphone has a proximity sensor that tracks the user’s position in 3D space. When the user moves closer to or farther away from the microphone, the volume, frequency balance and audio pickup direction are adjusted automatically. These features are enabled from the first use. The sensor helps maintain sound quality even when the user speaks toward the wrong side. The Blue Yeti 2 can record audio at 24-bit / 48 kHz quality. The microphone also has an updated 3-capsule system. Built-in digital processing helps record speech more clearly without requiring additional software. An AI-powered filter reduces background sounds such as computer fans, mouse clicks and keyboards. Users can also select different modes for recording sound from multiple directions.
The front features controls and a 1.3-inch color LED display. The Yeti character on the display indicates the volume level and selected pickup pattern. Users will also be able to select different avatars in the Logitech G Hub software. The microphone has a headphone jack, a touch-sensitive mute button, a physical control dial and 5 saved modes. The new model is significantly cheaper than the Shure MV7 series, which starts at $299 (approximately 510 AZN). Its price is only $10 higher than the original Blue Yeti’s launch price 17 years ago. That difference is approximately 17 AZN. Logitech acquired Blue for $117 million in 2018. That amount was approximately 200 million AZN. The company discontinued the Blue brand in 2023 and consolidated its products under the Logitech G name.
