User questions & answers

Question:	Hey, I have a behringer audio interface with this microphone - I get audio but the blue light isn't on (on the mic). Is this a problem or is it fine
Answer:	I think u meant can u use it as a regular mic without computer. The answer is not without a soundcard to plug it into I believe.
Question:	Is this one the xlr version of this mic? i want to use it on a mackie ony blackjack
Answer:	I don't know, but check other markets I've seen Blue products bellow 100 dollors used I hope this helps.
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:	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)

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with pop filter
Answer:	The box is shaped like a guitar. It is very obvious that a guitar is inside.
Question:	What's the maximum hieght it can reach
Answer:	I have twin boys who use it for the guitar practice.. but I think it can be used for adults too
Question:	Can you use a mxl mics 770 cardioid condenser microphone
Answer:	Hello friend, the lesson book is bought separately 👍🏼
Question:	Can you place it on the desk and attach the pop filter
Answer:	I also have a 7-year-old son with ADHD who wanted an electric guitar. This looks like a full scale guitar, which would be too big for an average-sized 7-year-old. My son made pretty quick progress on my full scale electric, right up until he had to reach three frets for power chords, at which point he got frustrated and gave up. You might consider a 1/2 or 3/4 scale electric, or perhaps a baritone ukulele (an instrument my son rejected because it wasn't rock-ish enough). We never followed through with a smaller guitar, as it was clear that it wasn't so much the finger stretch that was stopping him, but that to him the reward of being able to make the musical sounds was not worth the effort of overcoming the obstacle, unlike, say, having a completed Lego car is worth the effort of assembling it. We might try again when he's a bit older and, you know, less screaming and running around the house.

User questions & answers

Question:	how do i record with this mic, on my macbook, using garage band. Does it bring a Usb to connect mic to laptop
Answer:	The box doesn't contain any cables; it's just the mic and a shock mount. This is a purely analog device, and it connects via an XLR connection so you'll need an audio interface of some sort which supports XLR devices. As this is a condenser microphone, you'll need an audio interface which can also supply phantom power. A lot of simple cables which purport to connect XLR devices via USB don't supply any phantom power, so beware.
Question:	Is this the newer p420 version or is it the discontinued one? it looks like the newer ones are labled p420 instead of "perception 420" like this one
Answer:	Hi Benjamin,This listing is for the new P420. Looks like Amazon has an incorrect title. I'll submit a ticket to have that corrected.We do have the new AKG P420's in stock and that is what we will ship if ordered from us.Thanks!New World Pro Audio877-802-0416
Question:	I want to use this as a church pulpit mic. Can I speak into it from 24 inches away and it still pick up strong
Answer:	IF it is connected to a mixer/audio interface that has 48v phantom power, yes, you can definitely speak from it, even at 2 feet away. that would require upping the gain though. But yes, defly you can. :)
Question:	What is the difference between the 420 and the
Answer:	The 420 is a dual diaphragm microphone with 3 selectable polar patterns. The 220 is a single, large diaphragm microphone. This means the 420 is more versatile. It can be used on vocals, instruments, cabinets, or as a room/atmospheric microphone.The 420 is, also, a bit more sensitive.
