HyperX 872V1AA QuadCast 2 USB Microphone for Streaming

The HyperX QuadCast 2 is a USB condenser microphone engineered for content creators who want studio-grade audio without the complexity of an XLR setup. Recording at 24-bit/96kHz hi-res quality, it captures vocals with greater depth and clarity, making it well-suited for streaming on Twitch, recording podcasts, or producing YouTube content. The tap-to-mute sensor on the top of the microphone provides instant, silent muting — a critical feature during live broadcasts — and the built-in LED indicator plus customizable grille lighting give you a clear visual cue of your live or muted status at all times.

The multifunction knob on the front of the microphone gives you quick physical control over gain, playback volume, mic monitoring level, and polar pattern selection without needing to open any software. With four selectable polar patterns — cardioid, omnidirectional, bi-directional, and stereo — the QuadCast 2 adapts to solo commentary, two-person interviews, roundtable discussions, and ambient or musical recording. The removable shock mount connects via spring-loaded pins and supports both 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch threading for broad stand and boom arm compatibility. For deeper customization, HyperX NGENUITY software lets you fine-tune EQ settings, adjust monitoring, and personalize the microphone's RGB lighting effects to match your streaming setup. It connects via USB-C and is compatible with PC, Mac, PS5, and PS4.
