Studio-Grade USB Microphone

The HyperX QuadCast 2 is a USB condenser microphone built for gaming, streaming and podcasting. It captures audio at a 20Hz-20KHz frequency response with 32 ohms impedance for detailed voice reproduction. The metal body weighs 335 grams and measures 18.2 x 13.5 x 24.1 cm. It connects via USB-C to PC, Mac, PS5 and PS4 without extra drivers.

Thermals Noise and Power

Passive operation means no fan noise or active cooling to interfere with recordings. The microphone draws power directly from the USB bus, keeping cable runs simple and power draw minimal. A removable shock mount isolates the capsule from desk vibrations and keyboard rumble. The spring-loaded pins allow quick detachment, and the mount joint accepts both 3/8 and 5/8 threading for boom arms.

Upgrade Path and Value

This microphone replaces basic headset mics or entry-level USB models when clearer capture and on-the-fly control matter. The tap-to-mute sensor, multifunction knob and four selectable polar patterns — cardioid, omnidirectional, bi-directional and stereo — reduce the need for software adjustments mid-session. Customisable LED lighting and HyperX NGENUITY integration suit creators who want a unified setup aesthetic. Buyers needing XLR connectivity or multi-channel interfaces should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the HyperX QuadCast 2 and what threading does the shock mount use?

The removable shock mount attaches via spring-loaded pins and its joint accepts both 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch threading for standard boom arms or stands.

What parts of the QuadCast 2 might wear out and need replacing later?

The spring-loaded pins on the detachable shock mount and the multifunction control knob are the moving components most likely to need attention after extended use.

What limits recording time during long streaming sessions with this microphone?

The wired USB power supply and passive metal construction mean there is no battery to drain, so sessions are limited only by your computer's uptime and storage capacity.
