Blue Yeti USB Microphone

Great microphone for remote conferencing and podcasting. Costs about $120.

Four modes:

• Stereo
• Omnidirectional
• Cardioid
• Bi-directional

For conference calls, it seems like Stereo will work best. Want to minimize pickup from behind the mic (so the speaker can be behind it), but also want to pick up sound from the sides. I’m nervous that you’ll get an echo from Omnidirectional.

Using multiple microphones:
