The condenser microphone captures every nuance of your voice with exceptional clarity. Whether you're a seasoned podcaster, a passionate gamer, or a budding musician, the QuadCast delivers a rich, full-bodied sound that is simply unparalleled.One of the QuadCast's standout features is its four programmable LED lights, which not only look visually stunning but also serve as a handy mute indicator. The built-in pop filter and shock mount further enhance the audio quality, minimizing unwanted background noise and vibrations.The QuadCast's versatility is equally impressive. It's compatible with multiple devices, including PCs, Macs, and consoles, making it a convenient choice for various applications.

Title: Great Mic
Review: Super big fan of Hyper X. When I found out they had a microphone, I had to give it a try once my old one broke. It has everything a white noise adjuster for clarity tap to mute ease of access to plug into your PC. You can also set it up on Boom stand if you have the right equipment, but if not, it already comes with the stand, which I use just keep it on my desk. Itâs super out-of-the-way very easy. Its quality is much better than the more expensive mic I had before. Iâm very sad, I did not find this mic before. quality connections are out of this world. Highly recommend!

Title: Great Mic ðï¸
Review: I used to own one of these and got this as a gift for someone and they love it too. It's a super crisp and clear mic with a built in pop filter and shock mount. The mic will pick up sounds from all angles so if you have a child or maybe a group of people over being chatty it'll pick up some background noise easily. It's probably the only down side to the mic really. But if you have a private room or gaming room this is the best mic for its price range in my opinion having used it myself for sometime before upgrading. It'll also fit any basic arm stand and comes with a stand of its own to sit on the table or desk but you can remove it. There is a touch screen mute button on top of the mic to quickly mute it and un-mute it. It's works on discord and anything else you'd wanna use it on.

Title: Gold Standard for Everyday Gaming and Content Creation
Review: A huge upgrade from any product from Blue, whether it be the Yeti or Snowball, HyperX has proven that they can hang with the big boys of USB microphones. This microphone has all the features you could need for a midrange or even high end setup. It features 4 different audio capture options, including cardioid, stereo, mono, and bi-directional, the lattermost being great for podcasting/1 on 1 interviews. The stand is made out of metal and very stable, so this microphone isn't going to fall over at any point. Very easy to mute and unmute by simply tapping the top like you would any touchscreen, and the red LEDs giving a clear indication that it is unmuted.The sound quality itself is exceptional, very clear and doesn't produce very much USB noise. The microphone has some noise cancellation through the foam in the main chassis, but an additional pop filter is recommended for more noise reduction. It's also very easy to adjust the gain with the slider on the bottom to control the volume of your voice. The microphone also has a line out audio jack that is great for monitoring, and even works well as an external sound card for a laptop or other device in a pinch. No software is needed to get the most out of this microphone, which is very welcome.This is overall one of the best microphones you can get around the $100 range that is from a reputable brand, and has given me no issues and only worked exactly as needed for well over 2 years now. Recommended to anyone looking to do light to heavy amounts of gaming or content creation.

Title: Very nice microphone
Review: This microphone is far better the one I bought a few months ago for half the price and returned. If you plan to use a microphone extensively, get a good one. Installation is plug n play. It works beautifully in Microsoft Word, but struggles a bit with Gmail, thus the four stars.

Review: A qualidade do som é indiscutÃvel: é muitÃssimo bom. Ponto! Então se você quer qualidade de captação de som, já pode comprar.Mas se quer mais informações, aqui estão elas:PONTOS POSITIVOS:Facilidade de Conexão: Plug'n Play, ou seja, plugou, ligou.Funciona no PC, no Celular (com adaptador OTG).Não necessida de Phantom Power nem nenhuma interface de áudio: Você não precisa comprar nenhum acessório extra para fazê-lo funcionar e isso é muito bom.Retorno de aúdio: Você pode plugar nele um fone de ouvido para monitorar seu áudioVersatilidade: Há uma chave seletora que torna o microfone bastante versátil conforme se segue:- Cardióide (perfeito para sua voz)- Estéreo: Capta sua voz em dois canais (Esquerdo e Direito independentes)- Bidirecional (capta o som na parte frontal + traseira, perfeito para captar 2 pessoas)- Omnidirecional: Capta som em todas as direções (Vai captar todos os sons e vozes da sala)Preço: Agora que o "hype" desse microfone passou, ficou muito mais acessÃvel. Ele já foi encontrado no passado por volta dos R$ 1.500,00PONTOS NEGATIVOS:Durabilidade: Após um ano de uso moderado vejo que as extremidades do microfone (a parte de baixo e do topo) tem uma textura que parece uma camada fina emborrachada que agora começa a envelhecer e está começando a "engordurar" e tenho a sensação que vai começar a descascar, mas não implica em nada na excelente qualidade de audio, nem sua audiência vai perceber que a estrutura do microfone está envelhecendo.Não poder ser usado diretamente em câmeras DSLR ou filmadoras (o microfone não pode ser usado em dispositivos com entrada P2).Outras considerações:Outro ponto que pode ser positivo para uns e negativo para outros é que ele sempre será da mesma cor: Vermelho vivo! Esse vermelhão destacado que com o tempo, você pode acabar enjoando dessa cor de tanto vê-lo em todos os seus vÃdeos. Eu mesmo já enjoei desse vermelho destacado, principalmente que o hype desse microfone já passou. Eu já me pego "paquerando" outros microfones mais discretos, como os de lapela sem fio.Mas se você curte muito vermelho e é uma cor que combina com sua identidade visual, vai em frente que é sucesso!Mas acima de tudo: A QUALIDADE DO AUDIO à EXCELENTE!

Review: Compre este microfono por que me lo recomendaron mucho para los streams.. Obtendras un sonido de tu voz con mayor profundidad, claridad y ademas cuenta con supresion de ruidos integrado. Su "rueda" de ganancia, colocada en la parte de abajo te permite "subir" el volumen de tu sonido de manera rapida, ademas de que cuenta con un boton tactil muy muy muy discreto en la parte superior del mismo el cual tambien al "mutear" el sonido, apaga la luz roja, haciendo mas visible de que estas en "silencio". En la caja trae una base muy solida y con peso para colorar tu microfono en una superficie plana y su sistema antishock hara que tus "tecleadas" y el golpeteo de tu mouse al jugar pase desapercibido por su vibraciones. El color rojo pense que llegaria a molestarme, pero ciertamente es que ni lo he notado aun estado con las luces apagadas. Cuenta tambien con una entrada para microfonos la cual te brinda una salida de audio de 16bits, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality) lo cual podria ser mejorable, te brinda un buen sonido pero es un detalle a considerar. En caso de que cuentes con un brazo retractil, tacilmente puedes quitar el microfono de su base y colocarlo en tu brazo, no tiene mayor complicacion.En pocas palabras tiene muy buen sonido y es muy funcional. En mi caso lo compre en oferta a $1600 y me llego en perfecto estado. Lo enviaron en una bolsa simple de paqueteria y en las fotos se puede ver que llego un poco golpeado pero nada grave, aunque se agradeceria mayor proteccion para el paquete ¿Como que llego solo en una bolsa? De perdido le hubieran puesto papel burbuja.Si estas pensando en si debes comprar este o la version HyperX QuadCast S, si tienes presupuesto recomendaria irte por el siguiente escalon, por que el sonido para audifonos es mejor, solamente por eso. Pero PRACTICAMENTE es lo mismo, esta version y la "S". Si eres fijado o quisquillozo como yo, agradecederas los extras como poder seleccionar el color y mayor calidad de sonido para audifonos. En cuanto a sus diferentes patrones polares que puedes seleccionar, realmente no he encontrado una diferencia notable por la cual deba ser motivo de compra. El cable usb tiene muy buena calidad y da la sensacion de que durara mucho tiempo. Recomiendo su compra, aunque debo decir que si ya cuentas con una interface de audio y un microfono de concensador, ve por la via de buscar un mejor microfono en vez de cambiar a uno de salida USB, si lo que buscas es sonido principalmente y UNICAMENTE, no tanto si se ve bonito y practicidad, si no mas bien enriquecer tu sonido, mejor busca otra opcion. Si lo que quieres es practicidad, buen sonido y conectarlo a tu pc y no preocuparte tanto si tienes una interface y no quieres estar batallando, simplemente llegar a conectar y ya, esta es tu opcion.

Review: Mikrofonun malzeme kalitesi çok iyi. Kesinlikle kalitesiz hissettirmiyor. EÄer mikrofonu aÄzınıza 10 -15 cm mesafede kullanırsanız en iyi ses kalitesini bu Åekilde alırsınız. Masanızda monitörünüzün yanına ya da baÅka bir yere koyarak da kullanabilirsiniz ancak en verimli kullanım Åekli aÄzınıza yakın bir yerde durması. Ses bu Åekilde karÅı tarafa çok daha net ve berrak gidiyor. Ayrıca ürünün kendi yazılım desteÄi yok, steelseries sonar uygulamasında deeo voice ön ayarı ile kullandım ve ses daha kaliteli hale geldi. Obs studio gibi programlarla kullananlar da var ama ben yayıncı olmadıÄım için bir sürü filtre kullanmak ve detay gereksiz geliyor. Mikrofonun en beÄendiÄim yanı, hatta alma sebebim ise mikrofonun üst kısmında bulunan mute tuÅu, inanılmaz hassas ve pratik bir kullanım saÄlıyor. Oyun oynarken veya bir konferans sırasında odanıza biri girdiÄi zaman sesin karÅı tarafa gitmemesi için mikrofonun sesini kapatmak için efor sarf etmenize gerek kalmıyor. Mikrofonu aÄzınıza yakın bir yerde konumlandıracaksanız, mikrofonun üzerindeki gain ayarını 2. seviyede kullanmanız yeterli, biraz daha uzaÄınızda duracaksa 3-4 seviyelerinde kullanabilirsiniz. Dikkat etmeniz gereken bir diÄer konu ise mikrofonun arka kısmındaki seçenekler. Stereo, omnidirectional, cardioid, bidirectional seçenekleri var. Bunları da kısaca açıklamak gerekirse eÄer mikrofonu tek baÅınıza kullanacaksanız, cardioid modunda kullanmanız gerekiyor. Mikrofon bu modda sadece ön kısımdan ses alıyor bu yüzden mikrofonun hyperx yazan kısmının sizin yüzünüze dönük olması gerekiyor buna dikkat edin. Omnidirectional modunda ise mikrofon 360 derece her taraftan ses alıyor, birkaç kiÅi ile birlikte bir konferans yapacaÄınız zaman bu modda kullanmanız gerekiyor. EÄer iki kiÅi karÅılıklı konuÅacaksanız bidirectional modda kullanmanız gerekiyor. Stereo mod pek kullanılan bir mod deÄil, mikrofon saÄından veya solundan ne tarafından yoÄun ses alırsa karÅı tarafın kulaklıÄına o Åekilde sesi veriyor.
