Looking for a new microphone, but still unsure which one is right for you? It's no surprise there are so many options out there. If you're deciding between the HyperX SoloCast , DuoCast , QuadCast , QuadCast S , QuadCast 2, or ProCast microphones, you're on the right track. To help you make your final choice, here's some information on how to use each microphone and how to set it up for your recordings.

SoloCast

HyperX SoloCast

Ideal for students and new streamers

Powerful and compact, the SoloCast is a simple, plug-and-play USB microphone that lets you start recording right away. With its included small stand, it won't clutter your environment. You can also use it with a separately purchased boom arm if you prefer to place it somewhere other than on your desk. It features a cardioid polar pattern that captures sounds directly in front of the microphone, helping to minimize background noise. This entry-level HyperX model is perfect for student dorm rooms and is also ideal for younger budgets.

Even with a single polar pattern, compared to other models in the HyperX lineup, this cardioid microphone offers convenient features like a push-to-mute feature and an adjustable stand. If the SoloCast is too tall to fit on your shelf or under your monitor, you can still position it horizontally and still get pristine recording quality. You can even connect it to a PS4 or PS5 if you want to delight your teammates with quality audio while gaming with a controller.

DuoCast

Ideal for new streamers, new podcasters and gamers who love RGB effects

For those who want more recording options and a touch of RGB effects to their rig, the DuoCast microphone takes it up a notch. In addition to the cardioid polar pattern offered by the SoloCast model, this one offers an omnidirectional option perfect for recording shows with multiple guests and conducting in-room calls. Even better: add more style to your show with a customizable light ring with multiple colors and patterns via HyperX NGENUITY software.

In addition to the valuable touch-activated mute sensor, the DuoCast microphone features a shock mount and on-mic gain control. These features eliminate unwanted noise and awkwardness during recordings, even with a restless guest! All these advantages are combined in a sleek design that won't clutter your environment. Enjoy a microphone that's both practical and stylish.

QuadCast

HyperX QuadCast

Ideal for podcasters, artists, and casual gamers

If you prefer easy fine-tuning and versatile microphone versatility, the QuadCast is the perfect choice. It offers the same convenient push-to-mute feature found on all HyperX mics, but offers more gain adjustments and polar pattern options. With QuadCast, you can choose from four patterns, compared to just one on SoloCast (hence the name: four for QuadCast, one for SoloCast).

In addition to cardioid, the stereo polar pattern offers a wider sound, perfect for musicians recording their new track. Omnidirectional mode lets you capture sound from all around the mic and is ideal for multi-person spaces, whether on calls or podcasts with different speakers. To adapt your podcast to a more intimate setting, bidirectional mode recreates cardioid conditions in two directions, for podcasts or one-on-one interviews.

This mic offers enhanced setup and recording quality with a built-in stand, pop filter, and shock mount, delivering clean, professional sound straight from the box.

QuadCast S

If you're looking to wow your audience with your rig, the QuadCast S microphone combines all the benefits of QuadCast with integrated RGB lighting. Push-to-mute, gain adjustment, four polar patterns, and a shock-mount boom, all in addition to dual-zone RGB lighting? This is the ultimate recipe for gamers taking streaming to the next level. Download the NGENUITY software to customize the lighting and showcase your personal brand. Make sure you set everything up before you start recording. Boost your profile with more style.

QuadCast 2

HyperX QuadCast 2

Ideal for gamers, streamers and content creators

The QuadCast 2 microphone is the original creator's go-to for studio-quality sound with optimized 24-bit 96kHz recording, perfect for livening up your streams and providing commentary during games.

It takes everything gamers and streamers love about the original and goes even further. With stunning red lighting, a touch-activated mute sensor, a 3.5mm jack, and a detachable shock mount, you'll find all the features users love.

The new aluminum design offers more style and increased durability. Fine-tune your settings directly on the mic during a session with the multi-function dial without having to access the settings menu. Easily adjust mic gain, playback volume, monitoring, and change the polar pattern with just the dial. The LED indicator shows the mic's active status so you can focus on your chat or game without having to worry about software settings.

ProCast

HyperX ProCast

Ideal for actors, professional podcasters and users looking for the best sound

Planning a career with your voice? As the name suggests, the ProCast is a professional-grade condenser microphone designed for actors, podcasters, and anyone who makes a living recording their voice. The ProCast uses a gold-sputtered cardioid large-diaphragm condenser to capture the full depth of your voice. Get more detail in the low and high frequencies. The XLR output lets you plug your mic directly into professional preamps and interfaces.

Designed for professionals, the ProCast microphone also features a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter to reduce rumble, as well as a vibration-reducing shock mount powered by bungee cord suspension. Attach the HyperX Shield metal pop filter to the stand to eliminate plosive air pops from your recordings. This sleek design integrates seamlessly into any setup. The versatile 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch thread adapter is compatible with most mic stands and booms. Professional-quality sound at an affordable price.
