I am planning on getting a blue yeti mic soon, but my PSU is kind of cheap. I was wondering if a blue yeti uses power from the power supply, and if so, how much? Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
1) Only dynamic mics don't need power
2) Yeti does use power, through it's USB connection
3) No mic will be too much for a PSU to handle, unless you're using military grade surveillance equipment!

Don't worry about power consumption, if your keyboard works fine this mic will too.
