罗技 Yeti 2 评测：一体化工作室设置

最初的 Blue Yeti 麦克风于 2009 年首次发布，17 年后它仍然是家庭录音中最普遍的麦克风。 Chances are, if you’ve watched a YouTube video, Twitch stream, or listened to a podcast , you’ve heard (and probably seen) this microphone at least once. Long after absorbing Blue and phasing out the brand name, Logitech has finally released its highly anticipated successor: the Yeti 2. The follow-up maintains the same general shape and look but drastically changes the microphone’s functionality. Instead of simply recording audio, the Yeti 2 has a handful of features to monitor and manipulate the audio passing through it, seamlessly recording production-quality audio with zero delay. While some of the design feels a bit underdeveloped, the Yeti 2 is a deserving sequel to the iconic original model and an easy shoe-in as the best USB microphone you can buy.直观的界面 照片：Henri Robbins Yeti 2 最大的升级在将其从包装盒中取出后就映入眼帘。内置屏幕和转盘允许直接在麦克风上进行即时调整。无需软件。虽然我一开始持怀疑态度，但我很快发现这个小屏幕比其他选择要方便得多。它可用于调整增益、启用不同的后处理设置以及配置麦克风的声音配置文件。更重要的是，屏幕可以快速提供对音频质量的一目了然的洞察。主屏幕显示增益调整输入音量的图表，这是麦克风发送到计算机的音量。它还可以显示随时间变化的音量直方图、显示输入方向的模式，或者……像素艺术雪人。 This little guy looks confused when you’re quiet, happy when you’re talking at a normal volume, and alarmed when you’re too loud for the microphone to handle. Within the G Hub app, the icons can be swapped out with any of Logi’s other premade avatars (a dragon, flower, frog, or jellyfish), or freely customized with your own images using a simple drag-and-drop menu.这是麦克风功能最少的功能，但它是一种可爱且直观的方式，可以一目了然地指示音频质量。 The screen also has quite a few adjustable menus for different features, including a de-noise function with four levels, five EQ presets, a pattern customizer with eight default options, and a multitude of toggleable settings to clean up and improve recording quality. While the settings can’t be customized using the screen, the G Hub application provides more in-depth adjustments for how intense each of these settings are, along with explanations of how they work and when to use them. Photograph: Henri Robbins The microphone comes with a basic desk-mounted stand in the box, which uses two rubber grommets and a felt panel underneath to isolate it from the desk. While I was initially worried about this picking up resonance from typing, the isolation mount and noise cancellation settings manage to make it sound normal even when placed directly next to a keyboard . Hanging the microphone from a boom arm definitely doesn’t feel as natural as the stand, but it is entirely possible with the threaded hole on the underside.耳机插孔放置在顶部很不方便，而且麦克风悬挂在上方时感觉非常长。屏幕显示可以翻转 180 度，但这意味着调节旋钮现在位于屏幕顶部。使用旋钮时，您的手可能会挡住显示屏和接近传感器，这可能有点烦人。麦克风设计为与附带的支架一起使用，但它仍然完全可以与手臂一起使用。 Impressively Hands-Off Photograph: Henri Robbins The most impressive part of this microphone was how little I had to do when using it, since the automatic settings are so dialed-in.在我使用麦克风的整个过程中，我根本不需要调整增益。除了专门测试功能之外，我什至没有任何理由打开罗技 G Hub 应用程序。所有重要的设置都可以完全通过麦克风本身进行管理。麦克风上的自动增益控制非常棒，除了非常边缘的情况之外基本上不需要输入。该系统有一个接近传感器来确定您与麦克风的距离，然后用它来确定输入范围和角度。 At essentially any distan
