Description

The HyperX QuadCast microphone is an impressive piece of audio equipment favored by professionals of various backgrounds, including streamers, podcasters, gamers, and YouTubers. HyperX has long been known for its high-quality gaming peripherals, and the QuadCast microphone is no exception.

The QuadCast is a condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern, which means it’s best suited for solo recordings. It’s also versatile enough for casual conversations, voiceovers, and ASMR recordings. It has a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz, which covers a wide range of sounds, but the QuadCast might not be the best choice if you’re looking for a microphone to record deep bass sounds.

One of the standout features of the QuadCast is its built-in shock mount that helps isolate the microphone from external vibrations, ensuring clear audio recording. This is particularly useful if you’re recording in a noisy environment or if you accidentally bump the table.

The QuadCast also has a built-in pop filter that reduces plosive sounds like p and b that can be particularly problematic when recording with a microphone. This is particularly useful for people who are new to recording and might not be used to speaking directly into a microphone.

Another useful feature of the QuadCast is its four selectable polar patterns: stereo, omnidirectional, cardioid, and bidirectional. This offers a range of options for different recording scenarios. The omnidirectional mode is useful for capturing sounds from all directions, while the bidirectional mode is useful for two-person recordings, ideal for interviews or group discussions.

The QuadCast features a 3.5mm headphone jack that allows you to monitor your audio in real-time. It also has a mute button on the top of the microphone that you can quickly access if you need to pause the recording or take a break.

The microphone itself is made of solid metal that feels robust and sturdy. It’s also easy to set up and comes with a stand that can be detached and replaced with a more professional shock mount, microphone boom, or desk arm.

Overall, the HyperX QuadCast microphone is an excellent choice for beginners or professionals looking for a high-quality microphone. It offers a range of features, including four polar patterns, built-in shock mount, and pop filter, at a reasonable price. If you’re looking for a microphone that’s easy to set up and produces clear, high-quality sound, look no further than the HyperX QuadCast.

    I was looking for an interesting microphone for a long time and decided to invest in this one.
    I am not a player, I bought it for the appearance and features to be able to create podcasts and tutorial recordings and I must say that I am VERY happy. Really!
    You can follow quality changes in the programs on my channel.
    AWESOME !! I highly recommend it.

    Very good price / quality ratio. I recommend to all people. Quality and durability for years. Hassle-free connection and operation. Stable microphone. Due to the dimensions and quite large packaging, I recommend it for stationary use. To the briefcase and packaging too large. The older model in this case is more appropriate.

    Very good microphone for the price, solidly made, quite heavy, not too loud, but the quality compensates for it. I recommend it, it also shines green very nicely and the cable also does the job, this gaming version is simply cooler

    A perfect microphone if someone doesn’t have a sound card. All metal. It gives the impression of being very solid. The sound quality is impeccable. Virtually zero noise, although I suspect that for professional use it is worth buying something more expensive. For example, streaming as he found.

    I bought the HyperX QuadCast microphone in January because I needed a good quality microphone for my gaming streams. I was attracted to the fact that it was recommended for gaming use and had a sleek look to it. However, after using it for a few months, I can’t say I’m too impressed with it.

    First of all, the weight of the microphone is pretty heavy at 254.0 g. This makes it a bit difficult for me to handle and adjust during my gaming sessions. Additionally, I don’t like the placement of the controls on the microphone. They’re located in a spot that makes it difficult for me to access them while I’m gaming.

    When it comes to sound quality, I’ve definitely heard better from other microphones. The audio always comes out sounding a bit muffled and not as clear as I would like. I’ve tried messing around with the settings and adjusting it, but even with proper settings, it doesn’t deliver like some of the other microphones I’ve used in the past.

    Overall, I have to rate this microphone at 2 out of 5. While it may be suitable for gaming, I think there are better options out there for the same price point. Not to mention, the delivery process was a bit of a hassle since I live in Virginia. It took longer than expected, and the overall packaging was subpar. I would suggest looking into other microphones before deciding to purchase the HyperX QuadCast.

This will enter the sensitivity adjustment mode. Rotate the gain control knob on top of the microphone clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the sensitivity of your microphone. The blue LED ring will show you how much sensitivity is currently set. Once you have reached your desired level, release both the "Volume Up" and "Mute" buttons.
