Frequently Asked Questions
What recording quality does the QuadCast 2 support?
The QuadCast 2 records at 24-bit/96kHz resolution, which is classified as hi-res audio and captures more detail and nuance in your voice compared to standard 16-bit/48kHz USB microphones.
What are the four polar patterns and when would I use each one?
Cardioid picks up sound from the front and is ideal for solo streaming or podcasting. Omnidirectional captures sound from all directions for group conversations. Bi-directional records from the front and back for face-to-face interviews. Stereo uses left and right channels to capture a wider soundstage for music or ambient recording.
How does the tap-to-mute feature work?
You simply tap the top of the microphone to toggle mute on or off. The LED indicator changes to confirm the mute status, so you always know at a glance whether you are live or muted.
What can I customize with the HyperX NGENUITY software?
NGENUITY lets you adjust microphone gain, set up mic monitoring levels, choose from different lighting effects, change lighting colors on the grille, and fine-tune audio settings — all from a single interface on your PC.
Is the shock mount removable and does it fit standard mic stands?
Yes, the shock mount detaches via spring-loaded pins and features both 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch threading, making it compatible with most standard microphone stands and boom arms.
