The microphone is packed with features like four recording patterns, on-mic headphone monitoring, a shock mount, and even programmable RGB lighting. The QuadCast is an 8-inch cylinder with a 2.2-inch diameter and soft-touch rubber caps on the top and bottom. The top half of the cylinder is made of metal grills over clear foam (an internal pop filter) through which the microphone’s RGB lighting shines. The bottom half of the cylinder is opaque, with a white HyperX logo near the bottom. ..
The QuadCast is a great microphone for audio production. It has a mute button and gain wheel, which makes it easy to change the sound quality of your audio. The QuadCast also has a four-position mode selector switch on the back, which lets you choose between cardioid, omnidirectional, stereo, and bidirectional configurations. The USB-C port makes it easy to transfer files to your computer or other devices.
The QuadCast S is a great microphone for podcasting and other audio work. However, the shock mount and short arm that connects to the stand are plastic, which makes it difficult to use. Additionally, the microphone itself is very sturdy and comes with an adapter that fits 3/8- and 5/8-inch threads, but the plastic mount still needs to be used.
The HyperX Ngenuity software lets you customize the microphone’s lights to look and feel like a rainbow of colors. You can set different color effects, such as solid color lights, flashing lights, the entire microphone alternating between colors, the colors flowing between the top and bottom lights, and flashing like lightning. You can also turn the lights off or dim them. Just make sure you save your settings on the microphone itself.
