Fully Featured Standalone Mic for Streamers, Content Creators, and Gamers
The
QuadCast USB Condenser Microphone from
HyperX is an all-inclusive digital condenser mic designed to provide flexible functionality to Twitch streamers, podcasters, and content creators. Featuring four versatile pickup modes, an adjustable integrated desktop stand and quality digital audio, the QuadCast is ready to start creating killer content right out of the box.
The QuadCast sports a convenient mini-USB connector, making it easy to stream your audio to a range of devices, including Windows/macOS computers, PS4/PS5 gaming systems, and more. The integrated elastic rope suspension shockmount helps absorb unwanted vibrations, such as desk rumble or accidental bumps, and the mic comes with an extra mount adapter to attach to numerous desktop stands or boom arms. The tasteful red LED light ring adds some nice atmosphere to your streams and lets you know when your mic is active or muted, while a convenient 3.5mm headphone jack helps to ensure your voice sounds exactly how you want it.
Built-In Anti-Vibration Shockmount
Isolate the mic and suppress the sound of unintentional rumbles and bumps with the elastic rope suspension.
Tap-to-Mute Sensor with LED Status Indicator
Use the convenient tap-to-mute functionality to prevent an audio accident along with the help of the LED mic status indicator. If the light is on, the mic is active. If the light is off, the mic is muted.
Four Selectable Polar Patterns
Four selectable polar patterns let you choose between directional cardioid, which aids in avoiding room noise or keyboard tapping, omnidirectional, which is perfect for multi-person podcasts, bidirectional for face-to-face interviews, and an immersive stereo mode for instruments or wide sounding vocals.
Mic Mount Adapter Included
The versatile adapter fits 3/8" and 5/8" threaded setups, so it can be mounted onto most mic stands or boom arms.
Easily adjust your mic sensitivity by turning the dial at the bottom of the QuadCast.
The internal pop filter will help smooth out some of those pesky percussive noises that periodically punctuate your speech.
Monitor Mic Input through the Headphone Jack
Ensure that you're sounding the way you want by monitoring your sound with the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Multi-Platform, Multi-Program Compatible
The QuadCast lets you use one microphone for streaming on Windows or macOS computers, PS5, and PS4. The mic features clean voice quality with excellent sound for clear communication. QuadCast is Discord and TeamSpeak certified, and is compatible with most major broadcast software, like OBS Studio and XSplit.
