HyperX QuadCast 2 USB Microphone

The HyperX QuadCast 2 is a USB condenser microphone aimed at streamers, podcasters and content creators. It keeps the QuadCast family’s on‑device controls and anti‑vibration shock mount while upgrading the internal audio to support 24‑bit / 96 kHz recording. The mic ships with a desktop stand and can be removed for mounting on boom arms or stands using 3/8" or 5/8" threads.

QuadCast 2 features four pickup patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional and stereo), a hardware gain/monitoring knob and zero‑latency monitoring via the 3.5 mm headphone jack. It’s suited for single‑voice streaming, interviews, podcasting and multi‑person recording where fast on‑mic adjustments are useful.
