Premium USB condenser microphone

The Logitech G Yeti Orb is a condenser microphone built for streamers and gamers who want clear voice capture without an audio interface. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the capsule while reducing keyboard clicks and room noise. A single USB-C to USB-A cable carries both power and 24-bit 48 kHz digital audio to a PC or Mac. No drivers are required for basic operation.

RGB lighting and flexible mounting

LIGHTSYNC RGB illuminates the logo and status indicator, with effects customisable through G HUB alongside other Logitech G peripherals. The microphone ships with a desktop stand and also accepts any standard 1/4"-20 threaded mount for boom arms or tripods. The USB-C connector on the microphone body keeps the cable run tidy and allows easy replacement if the lead is damaged. Sensitivity of 117 dB and a 72 dB signal-to-noise ratio support clean recordings.

Upgrade from basic headset mics

This microphone replaces the integrated boom on a gaming headset when voice clarity and background rejection matter for streams, calls or voice-over work. The jump is worth it when you need independent gain control, real-time monitoring via software and consistent pickup without repositioning a headset arm. It is not suited for buyers who need multiple polar patterns, XLR connectivity or onboard hardware controls for gain and mute.

Questions about this item

What does the USB-C to USB-A connection limit the 24-bit/48 kHz sample rate to in practice?

The USB-C to USB-A cable carries the full 24-bit/48 kHz digital audio stream without down-sampling, so the condenser capsule’s 70 Hz–20 kHz response is preserved end-to-end.

What mounting hardware is required to attach the mic to a standard boom arm?

The base includes a 1/4"-20 threaded insert, so any boom arm or stand with a matching 1/4"-20 stud screws directly in — no adapter needed.

How do you enable the LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting after plugging the mic in?

Install Logitech G HUB, add the Yeti Orb in the device list, then open the Lighting tab to choose effects or sync with other Logitech G gear.
