Source: guitarcenter.com (verified 2026-07-07) · corroborated by amazon.com. guitarcenter.com 'Blue Yeti X USB Microphone Black' (Item #1500000333142) accessed 2026-07-07 confirmed verbatim: USB microphone, an 'all new four-capsule condenser array' (type condenser), 'Sample/Bit Rate: 48 kHz, 24-bit', 'Polar Patterns: Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Bidirectional, Stereo', a dedicated Headphone Amplifier spec section plus smart-knob 'headphone volume' control (headphone jack = true), smart-knob 'mute' control (mute button = true), and an included stand (dimensions given 'extended in stand', weight given 'microphone and stand'); price shown $169.99 (Sold Out). NOTE ON CORRECTION: the prior value 'included desk stand' was trimmed to 'included stand' because the qualifier 'desk' does not appear in the fetched text — only 'in stand' and 'microphone and stand' are stated, which support an included stand but not its type. amazon.com Blue Yeti X listing (B07QKQJL17) accessed 2026-07-07 corroborated the exact model 'Blue Yeti X Professional USB Microphone', brand 'Logitech for Creators', Connectivity Technology USB, Special Feature 'Mute Function', 'Four-Capsule Array' and '4 Polar Patterns', but showed 'Currently unavailable' with no price (its 'Included Components' list — 2 Meter USB Cable, Quick Start Guide, Yeti X Microphone — omits the stand, but this does not negate GC's 'microphone and stand' weight spec). The official Logitech G product page (logitechg.com/en-us/shop/p/yeti-x-professional-microphone) consistently failed to fetch (connection blocked) and Best Buy/B&H/Adorama/Provantage were blocked or timed out, so the two fetched retailer pages above are the sourced pages, following the catalog's precedent (e.g., AT2020USB-X) of sourcing from the retailer page actually retrieved. No fetched page stated a release year, so releaseDate is null (null beats a guess; the Yeti X is widely reported as a 2019 release but that was not verbatim-sourced here).
