USB Condenser Microphone for Streaming

The HyperX QuadCast HX-MICQC-BK is a USB condenser microphone built for PC, PS4 and Mac. It uses three 14mm electret condenser elements and draws 5V 125mA from the host. A 3m cable provides placement flexibility without an external power supply.

Suited to Streamers and Voice Chat

This microphone fits streamers, podcasters and gamers who need quick mute control and pattern switching. The tap-to-mute sensor with LED indicator and built-in headphone jack simplify live monitoring. Buyers who require XLR connectivity or higher sample rates should look elsewhere.

Four Patterns at 48 KHz 16-bit

The microphone records at 48 KHz/16-bit with a 20Hz-20KHz frequency response and -36dB sensitivity. Cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional and stereo patterns cover solo commentary, interviews, room ambience and music. The internal pop filter and shock mount reduce handling noise, while the 32-ohm headphone output delivers 7mW for real-time monitoring.

Questions about this item

What USB port and operating system does the HyperX QuadCast HX-MICQC-BK need to work?

The microphone draws 5V 125mA from any standard USB port and is compatible with PC, PS4 and Mac without extra drivers.

Can I keep using my 32-ohm wired headphones for monitoring with this microphone?

Yes, the built-in headphone jack supports 32-ohm impedance, 20 Hz – 20 kHz frequency response, 7 mW maximum output and THD ≤ 0.05 %.

How do I confirm the microphone is recording at 48 kHz 16-bit with the selected polar pattern?

The tap-to-mute LED shows mute status; the gain dial adjusts input level; your recording software will display the 48 kHz / 16-bit sample rate and the active pattern (Stereo, Omnidirectional, Cardioid or Bidirectional).
