The HyperX QuadCast 2 S — Black is a wired USB table microphone engineered for streaming, podcasting and desktop voice recording. This condenser-style microphone connects via USB and is powered over the same interface, providing a frequency response of 20–20000 Hz, sensitivity of −8 dB and a signal-to-noise ratio of 90 dB. The microphone ships with a 3 m cable and integrates a redesigned shock mount/stand, tap-to-mute sensor and four selectable polar patterns to accommodate different recording scenarios. Customizable lighting with addressable RGB and software control allow adjustment of lighting and audio processing settings.

Advantages

The HyperX QuadCast 2 S combines versatile polar patterns, USB connectivity and an updated shock mount to reduce handling noise on a desktop setup. Built-in controls let users mute quickly and adjust levels without opening software, while improved recording resolution and a 90 dB signal-to-noise ratio help capture clear voice signals. The included 3 m cable and powered USB connection simplify setup on typical workstation layouts, and the microphone supports software customization for lighting and noise reduction.

How to use

Place the HyperX QuadCast 2 S on a stable desk surface using the included shock mount/stand, position the microphone at an appropriate distance from the mouth (typically 15–30 cm) and connect the 3 m USB cable to a free USB port on your computer. Select the microphone as the input device in your operating system or recording application. Use the tap-to-mute sensor to mute and unmute quickly and switch polar patterns when needed to match solo, interview or group recording setups. Fine-tune input levels in the application or via HyperX NGENUITY software if installed.

Usage recommendations

For best vocal clarity, use a cardioid or dynamic-facing polar pattern for single-voice recordings, enable software noise reduction where available, and keep the microphone mounted on the shock stand to minimize desk vibration. Position the microphone slightly off-axis to reduce plosives and consider a pop filter if heavy close-up speech is used. When using the addressable RGB lighting and audio processing features, adjust settings in HyperX NGENUITY to balance performance and system resources.
