lighting around the knob for reference during operation. One of my favorite upgrades from the Yeti is that this knob now defaults as gain control and a level monitor. As you speak, lights around the knob will fluctuate to the volume of your input, and a twist of the knob will control your gain levels. This means that you can easily monitor how you are sounding and take corrective action if you are too quiet or too loud, all without referencing any software or changing the screen on your computer. On the Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition, the level lights are runes, adding a subtle touch of style. A click of the knob mutes the input, which will be indicated with a ring light on the knob itself (separate from those level indicators mentioned earlier). You can also control the headphone volume and blend your input configuration—all with this single knob. Multi-function buttons can be tricky and forgettable, but the Yeti X has an indicator light right below the knob to distinguish which function you are controlling and ensuring you won’t forget how many clicks it takes to get where you’re going. As you’d expect, the quality and features of the Yeti X will leave you sounding great online, whether streaming, recording, or video chatting. However, if you really want to take advantage of the World of Warcraft Edition features, you’ll want to jump into the Logitech G Hub software. To cut to the chase, the Yeti X World of Warcraft edition comes with hundreds of sound bites from the game as well as pre-configured voice profiles to make you sound like characters from the land of Azeroth. Change your voice to the grunt of an orc, the howl of a demon, or the squeak of a gnome with the touch of a button. Or customize your own voice profile to really nail your favorite Warcraft character. Via the Logitech G Hub, you can also activate special soundscapes to serve as background noise. Most of these are inspired by Warcraft, but some are general enough to offer other uses (like a beach soundscape, for instance). The audio features of the Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition are fun to play with and offer a lot of options for storytelling and world building, even if they might not be the most useful for your next group video call. In addition to the WoW features, the software also allows much more in-depth control of the microphone settings. Fine tune the audio output, adjust the master level, limit audio pops, and “de-ess” your recording. You can even change the color of any of the lights on that all-powerful control knob. It’s welcomingly flexible. The features, colors, fine touches, and overall design of the Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition give it the look and feel of a collectible, without the fragility and requisite pedestal that often accompanies a video game collectible. It’s a great way for World of Warcraft fans and enthusiasts to express their appreciation for the game and its universe without being ostentatious, all while sounding amazing on stream.
