The HyperX QuadCast 2 refines everything that made the original such a favorite amongst gamers, streamers, and content creators around the world. All the fan-favorite features are still here: the iconic stunning lighting, the tap-to-mute sensor, 4 selectable polar patterns, 3.5mm headphone jack and included shock mount and desktop stand but now with a range of innovative additions and packaged in a new sleek, full aluminum silhouette. QuadCast 2 features upgraded 24-bit, 96kHz recording for a studio-quality recording experience. It also features a redesigned detachable shock mount with improved performance and innovative spring-loaded pins, making removal easy and allowing the use of universal shock mounts[1]. In response to our fan’s feedback, QuadCast 2 now includes a multi-function knob so you can do everything on board without needing to alt-tab. The knob allows users to choose between microphone gain, playback volume, microphone monitoring volume, and can also switch polar patterns. The LED indicator also makes it easy to determine the current mic status without the hassle of going into the software. Users can choose different lighting effects and tune their mic via HyperX NGENUITY. The HyperX QuadCast 2 – the new standard for streaming microphones.

Hi-Res Studio-Quality Recording

The QuadCast 2 will help take your recordings to the next level by capturing more sound detail and allowing the subtleties or your voice to shine through.

Tap-to-Mute Sensor

Simply tap the top of the QuadCast 2 to prevent audio accidents and quickly mute the microphone.

Intuitive On-Board Controls

The multifunction knob lets you quickly and easily adjust your microphone gain, playback volume, monitoring volume, and switch between 4 polar patterns.

Mic Status LED indicator

The easy-to-see LED indicator and customizable grille lighting lets you spot whether or not the mic is live.

Removable Shock Mount

The pre-attached vibration-dampening shock mount is easily detachable thanks to the spring-loaded pins. The shock mount joint is also compatible with 3/8” and 5/8” threading, for easy setups.

Stunning HyperX Red Lighting

Give your streams and desk setup a touch of signature HyperX red with the QuadCast 2’s stunning lighting. Customize the lighting when live or muted in HyperX NGENUITY.

Four Selectable Polar Patterns

Optimize your recording by selecting whichever of the versatile QuadCast 2’s polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, bi-directional, or stereo) best suits your audio capture needs.

Customizable in HyperX NGENUITY

Tune your microphone, adjust mic monitoring, and customize the QuadCast 2’s lighting all from simple, powerful HyperX NGENUITY Software.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Disappointed Jim from Order nightmare, not worth the hassle Purchase at your own risk. (Customer service complaints removed)

Rated 4 out of 5 by Some Guy on a Computer from Functionally fantastic but glitchy RGB Microphone works great and is fantastic at picking up sound in the specified direction, however its RGB controlling app that Hyperx recommended does not function as intended sometimes. I frequently see glitches of being unable to change the color or pattern to sometimes not having any color displayed at all. the microphone works great though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Paula D from Great microphone for online meetings I am using the microphone for meetings, and my colleagues appreciate very much the quality of my voice. In the virtual meetings world, having a good sound quality makes such a difference, and this solo cast microphone really stands out compared to all other microphone solutions I had used before.
