SoloCast 2 USB-C Condenser Mic

The HyperX SoloCast 2 is a cardioid condenser microphone that connects via USB-C to USB-A for plug-and-play operation. It captures audio at 24-bit depth and 96 kHz sampling rate using a 14 mm electret condenser capsule. A built-in shock mount, foam pop filter and tiltable weighted stand are integrated, while 3/8" and 5/8" threads allow mounting on compatible arms. Tap-to-mute with a red LED indicator and on-board volume control complete the hardware feature set.

Streamers wanting an all-in-one desktop mic

This microphone suits creators who need a compact, self-contained solution with internal shock absorption and a pop filter so no extra accessories are required. HyperX NGENUITY software adds customizable high-pass, low-pass and voice-enhancement filters that can be saved to the device for consistent sound across locations. Buyers who need multiple polar patterns, a dynamic capsule or hardware DSP controls should look at other models.

Check USB-A port and software needs

Verify your system has an available USB-A port for the supplied USB-C to USB-A cable. The cardioid pattern captures sound from the front while reducing side and rear pickup, so ensure your speaking position matches that direction. NGENUITY runs on Windows; macOS and Linux users will have plug-and-play audio but no access to the advanced filter customisation. No external power supply or driver installation is required.

Questions about this item

What type of USB port does my computer need for the SoloCast 2's USB-C to USB-A cable?

Your computer needs a standard USB-A port to plug in the included USB-C to USB-A cable.

Will the 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch threads on the SoloCast 2 fit the boom arm I already own?

The microphone includes both 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch threads, so it fits most standard boom arms and stands without an adapter.

How can I confirm the SoloCast 2 is recording at its maximum 24-bit 96kHz quality after setup?

Open HyperX NGENUITY software and verify the sample rate is set to 96 kHz; the mic saves this setting internally for consistent quality.
