Re: need helping with humming on blue yeti pro.
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. - Original Message - From: tim cumings thcumi...@comcast.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 3:47 PM Subject: Re: need helping with humming on blue yeti pro. you can get a boom arm for $50. - Original Message - From: angel.adorno1 angel.ador...@verizon.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 6:33 AM Subject: Re: need helping with humming on blue yeti pro.

Re: need helping with humming on blue yeti pro.
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.

re: need helping with humming on blue yeti pro.
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.
