Hi Angel and Everyone,
I was waiting to see if someone would bring this up. Yes, you will still get
a hum because the boom arm is attached to the desk.
And, yes, I am hoping, if you want to use a boom, that there is one
specifically for the Blue Yeti. It is a Heavy and Expensive Mic, and I,
myself, would not use a boom. I would sit it, as has been previously
suggested, on a piece of foam. Now, if you do not have foam, you might be
able to use a soft covered Braille book instead.
I also would not detach the Yeti from the desk stand. The desk stand is
quite sturdy, and meant to hold this Expensive Professional Mic.
I hope that this helps.
Blessings and All the Very Best,
Pat

two questions or three.
first question the boom arm it attaches to my desk via a clip right? if
this is the way it attaches, won't the humming from the fan under the desk
still come through because of the boom arm is attached?
second question, can I get any boom arm or one that is made for the blue
yeti pro. third and last question, sorry if this sounds dumb, will I have
to take the yeti off the desk stand or can I attach it to the boom arm as
is.
thanks so much again.

I bought a mount, but I am returning it, I thought the shock mount I
would be able to use on top of my desk but I need a boom arm and I am not
going to spend the money for one do not need it that bad yet.

Speaking of Yeti Pro, I've been meaning to get one for ages so did a
Google search to see where they're available in Australia and - believe
it or not - they're available right from the Apple Store which means
express free shipping etc so an order has been placed <smile>.

You're getting some good tips on this and I found the link to Mic
technique good.
Whatever mic you are using you will get this problem if its sitting
directly above
the computer. I've moved my Rode mic over to another purch to the
side of the
desk, and though its not very convenient it cuts down the hum and
vibration quite a
bit.
I speak pretty close to the mic without encouraging pops. Sometimes I
use a bit of
base roll-off in the audio editor.
One more thing which can help is a mic shock mount, which should
isolate the mic
from stand-borne noise.
Hope some of that helps.
Ray.
