Pick up Less Background Noise With a Blue Yeti

cityracer · Jul 19, 2016

I have a Blue Yeti on a Boom arm with the shock mount. Even with minimum gain, and having the mic close, it still picks up a lot of Keyboard and mouse noise. Is there anyway to reduce noise further? Such as putting some kind of sound proofing underneath the shock mount?

There's physical limits to sound isolation, but usually these are the steps:
1) Get the mic closer to your mouth. Sound (and light if you do photography) works on the inverse square law, so something twice as close will be four times as loud.
2) Increase baffling, put a physical barrier to sound between the mic and your other equipment
3) Get a more quiet keyboard. If you use a mechanical keyboard, look into dampening rings, they stop the keys at the minimum actuation, before the "click"

The only one I haven't tried is using a physical barrier. What do you recommend?
