Microphone Yenkee YMC 1031

The Yenkee YMC 1031 is a USB studio microphone designed for streamers and content creators who need a plug-and-play condenser solution. It connects via a 2.0 USB interface and captures audio with an omnidirectional polar pattern. The STREAMER 2.0 studio set includes a pop filter, antivibration holder, windscreen, adjustable studio stand and a USB-B to USB-A cable, allowing immediate setup for recording, live streaming or online communication. The metal-alloy construction and a stand with up to 750 mm vertical reach provide a stable and adjustable mounting option for desktop use.

Advantages

The condenser capsule with a 16 mm core and omnidirectional characteristic provides even sound pickup from all directions, suitable for group conversations and single-voice recording where ambient sound is relevant. The included accessories — pop filter and windscreen — reduce plosives and breath noise while the antivibration holder minimizes structure-borne noise. USB connectivity removes the need for external interfaces or phantom power, enabling straightforward plug-and-play operation on compatible computers.

Suitable for

• Live streaming and game commentary
• Podcasting and voice-over work
• Online meetings and remote collaboration
• Home studio recording and music demos

How to use

Connect the microphone to a computer using the provided USB-B to USB-A cable; the device is designed for plug-and-play operation without additional drivers on most systems. Mount the microphone in the antivibration holder, attach the pop filter and windscreen as needed, and position the adjustable stand at a comfortable height and angle. For best results, place the capsule 10–30 cm from the sound source and adjust orientation to optimise capture with the omnidirectional pattern. Monitor levels in your recording or streaming software and reduce input gain if clipping occurs.

Usage recommendations

Use the pop filter for close-miking to reduce plosives, enable the antivibration holder when typing or using a desk-mounted setup to limit mechanical noise, and keep the microphone away from direct airflow sources. For clearer speech recordings, monitor input levels and use simple noise reduction or equalisation in your software if room noise is present.
