Microphone HyperX Solocast 2 BLK AR0A0AA USB Condenser

HyperX SoloCast 2 BLK (AR0A0AA) is a USB condenser microphone designed for gamers, streamers and content creators who need clear, focused vocal capture with minimal setup. The compact microphone uses a cardioid polar pattern to prioritise voices, and integrates an internal shock mount, built-in pop filter and mounting threads so no extra accessories are required. Plug-and-play USB‑C connectivity and a tap‑to‑mute sensor with LED indicator make it ready for use on PC and compatible consoles, while HyperX NGENUITY software lets you save audio filter settings between sessions.

Advantages

The SoloCast 2 combines straightforward setup with components that improve recorded voice quality: an internal anti‑vibration shock mount reduces handling noise, a built‑in pop filter softens plosives, and a cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the speaker while rejecting background noise. Software control via HyperX NGENUITY provides selectable high‑pass, low‑pass and voice enhancement filters that persist between uses, and USB‑C plug‑and‑play connection eliminates the need for additional adapters.

How to use

Connect the SoloCast 2 to a compatible device using the included USB‑C cable and allow the host system to recognise the microphone. Position the microphone with the cardioid side facing the speaker at a recommended distance of 10–30 cm for clear vocal capture. Use the tap‑to‑mute sensor to mute audio quickly; the LED indicates mute status. Optionally install HyperX NGENUITY software to select and save high‑pass, low‑pass or voice enhancement filters and to store those settings between sessions.

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the microphone on a stable surface or stand to reduce vibrations, keep the pop filter area free from direct breath where possible, and use the cardioid pickup orientation to minimise room noise. When streaming or recording, test levels in your recording application and adjust distance or software filters as needed.
