HyperX SoloCast 2 USB-C Microphone

The HyperX SoloCast 2 is a USB-C condenser microphone built for streamers, podcasters and gamers who want studio-grade capture without extra gear. A 14 mm electret condenser capsule records at 24-bit depth and 96 kHz sampling rate, while the cardioid polar pattern focuses on front-facing sound and reduces side and rear pickup. An internal shock mount and built-in foam pop filter suppress vibrations and plosives in a compact, all-in-one design.

Check USB port and software needs

Your computer needs a USB-A port for the included USB-C to USB-A cable, or a native USB-C port with a suitable cable. The microphone is plug-and-play for basic operation, while HyperX NGENUITY software — available for Windows — unlocks high-pass, low-pass and voice-enhancement filters that can be saved to the device. No external power supply or audio interface is required.

Suits solo creators wanting simplicity

Ideal for users who need a single, self-contained microphone with tap-to-mute, LED status and tilt-adjustable stand plus 3/8" and 5/8" threads for boom arms. Not suited for buyers who want multiple polar patterns, onboard gain knobs, multi-capsule arrays, 192 kHz sampling or XLR connectivity.

Questions about this item

Does the HyperX SoloCast 2 come with a pop filter and stand, or do I need to buy them separately?

The microphone includes a built-in foam pop filter and a compact tiltable stand with a weighted base. Built-in 3/8" and 5/8" threads allow direct mounting to compatible boom arms without extra adapters.

How do I choose between the 96 kHz, 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz sampling rates listed for this model?

The SoloCast 2 supports 96 kHz, 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz sampling rates at 24-bit depth. Select the rate in HyperX NGENUITY software or your recording application; 96 kHz captures the highest resolution, while 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz suit standard streaming and voice chat.

What does the 24-bit / 96 kHz spec mean for my actual recordings?

It means the condenser capsule records audio at 24-bit depth and up to 96 kHz sampling, delivering a 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response with a -79 dB signal-to-noise ratio for detailed, low-noise vocal capture.
