How to Use the HyperX QuadCast Microphone

  • The HyperX QuadCast is a full-featured standalone USB condenser microphone. This Quick Start Guide will help you get set up and started.
    www.hyperxgaming.com/us/micro...
    Polar Patterns
    Four selectable polar patterns are available, including Stereo, Omnidirectional, Cardioid, and Bidirectional. Set the switch to the pickup pattern you need.
    Stereo
    If you’re recording something with vocals or instruments that you want output in 2-channel stereo, then select the stereo setting. While in this mode, the QuadCast will record audio as a stereo image, so you can easily record stereo audio without needing a second microphone.
    Omnidirectional
    Select this pattern to select if you want to record all the sound in the entire room for things like a conference call or a multi-person podcast. Omnidirectional captures sound from all directions.
    Cardioid
    For things like single-person streaming and voiceovers, select the cardioid pattern. This is best for a single audio source directly in front of the microphone.
    Bidirectional
    If you’re recording a face-to-face interview, the bidirectional pattern will be the setting you want to use since it captures sound from the front and back.
    Tap to Mute
    A convenient tap-to-mute sensor lets you simply tap the top of the mic to mute it. The LED indicator makes it easy to tell whether you’re muted. If the LED indicator is lit, the mic is active, if it’s off, the mic is muted. Knowing your mic status will help prevent embarrassing on-stream accidents.
    Headphone Monitoring
    The headphone output allows you to monitor your microphone output on a headphone. Just plug a headset into the back of the QuadCast and you can hear what is being captured. Mic monitoring can be disabled on PC and Mac. Consult manual for instructions based on your OS.
    Mount Adaptor
    The QuadCast comes with a 3/8 and 5/8 inch mount adapter that fits most mic arms. Remove the screw connecting the mic to the stand. Attach the mount adapter, and the QuadCast and its built-in shock mount can now be attached to the boom arm.

    The tapping feature is something that is really brilliant for streamers. not that I do stream but the LED's showing if its on can be big to avoid privacy issues.

      I cannot really see what you are seeing, but check to see if there is the HyperX microphone in the output settings, or the audio meter, if that does not work, I am pretty sure that Discord is the problem, not the microphone. I still have my HyperX microphone and it still works great.

    Can you connect a bluetooth headset to the mic to hear the audio input??

    • @hyperx
      @hyperx  4 года назад +57

      The HyperX QuadCast doesn't have Bluetooth, so something like that isn't possible. If your Bluetooth headset has a 3.5mm jack, then you could connect to the 3.5mm on the back of the QuadCast :) .

    • @hyperx
      @hyperx  4 года назад +32

      In your initial message, you were asking if you can connect a Bluetooth headset to the mic to hear the audio input, and we've explained why it's not possible. However, if you're connecting your Bluetooth headset to the PC, and also have a QuadCast connected to your PC via USB, then you can set your headset to be the default output device and the QuadCast as the default input device :) .

      The video clearly tells you what the Polar Patterns provide. Onmidirectional will receive sound from all around the microphone... Stereo will help with sounds to differentiate from Left and Right... Bidirectional will help with sounds coming from 2 Directions....
      Cardioid will help focus sounds coming into the microphone from one side of the Mic... Like for example a Single Person Streamer talking for a Live stream or maybe while playing video games on Multiplayer

    I bought the HyperQX QuadCast on Q3'20 and 3 months later, HyperX released QuadCast S. But it's still the best gaming microphone I ever had. I love RGB but I'm not gonna upgrade it in a long period of time

    I want these but I have Astro a50 headsets that are fully wireless. So basically I won’t be able to use the mic monitoring feature which is a deal breaker for me

    Can I use a hyperx quadcast and bluetooth headphones at the same time? Is that possible?

    I'm very curious but what boom arm did you guys use towards the end of the video? Or does anybody else have any suggestions on a boom arm.

    Also if you want to hear the game audio from the game your playing and if u connect the headset to the quadcast can you hear the audio from the game or only your voice
