The Auphonix mount came with a note saying some blue yeti’s are defective and won’t fit because the threaded hole is 1/16″ too big. The note says that not even blue yeti mounts will work on these. Sure enough, the Auphonix didn’t fit. Any suggestions?

Hi Jamie, is this ticking noise there before you apply your cleaning, processing, etc? I’d see if you can try the Yeti with a different USB cable, then try it on a different computer. That way you can identify if the problem area is the cable, computer, or mic itself.

Hey, I know this was never answered, but I appreciate your comment. I’m looking into lifting our mic because we’re very expressive at the table and there’s a lot of table thumping. What is the tripod mount that you use? We’re always at the same place so I’m hoping to just be able to find one that works on the first try (ahhh podcasting budgets!)

Hi Ken, condenser mics such as the Yeti can be unkind to the voice if you’re not recording in sound-dampened conditions, which could account for the echo. Are you using the cardioid polar pattern? What software are you recording into?

My current concern is the tripod mount I use. It works if I can get the microphone in the middle of the table without too much extension (not always possible since we play at someone else’s place every friday). So sometimes we have to fill up a bag of books to lay on top of the base of the boom stand. I’d like to find a boom stand that is portable/collapsible, but can also handle the weight of the yeti without having to tighten the joints like crazy and lay a bag of books on the legs. Do you have any suggestions? I’ve tried table mounted ones, but they’ve broken after little use, and scratch up some table surfaces in the process.

Just wanted to say thanks yet again. I’ve been using the mic now for a couple months, and sound is sooo much better in my recordings now.

You’re welcome Rich! Good luck with your endeavours.

Thanks! It was just some small concerns I wanted to iron out, and that helps.

And I decided to go with the 4″ pop filter that was recommended by someone in one of the first comments. Looks like larger is maybe more useful if a couple people will be in front of it, but it’s just me using this.

Thanks again!
