Does the Blue Yeti need an audio interface?

No. It connects over USB and works as a plug-and-play device on Windows and Mac. The XLR output on some versions is for connecting to a mixer or interface instead.

Which pickup pattern should I use?

Use cardioid for one person at the desk, bidirectional for two people facing each other, and omnidirectional for a group or room. Cardioid with the gain boost is for quiet sources.

Can I hear myself while recording?

Yes. Plug headphones into the mic's jack for zero-latency monitoring, and use the volume knob to set the level.

Does it work with a phone or tablet?

It can with a USB adapter that supplies enough power, but it is designed for computers. Check that your adapter supports USB audio before relying on it.

Is it good for streaming and gaming?

Yes for voice quality, but it is large and picks up keyboard noise. A boom arm and a quieter keyboard help more than any setting.

What comes in the box?

The microphone, its desk stand, and a USB cable. A shock mount and boom arm are sold separately.
