Brown-box HyperX QuadCast 2 S: USB-C condenser mic with 32-bit/192 kHz recording, four polar patterns, 100+ aRGB LEDs, tap-to-mute and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
HyperX QuadCast 2 S is a USB condenser microphone that records at up to 32-bit/192 kHz through three 14 mm capsules, with over 100 individually customisable aRGB LEDs and a built-in LED VU meter.
It keeps the QuadCast tap-to-mute sensor and four polar patterns, and adds a multifunction knob for gain, headphone volume, monitor mix and pattern, plus a redesigned detachable shock mount with spring-loaded pins and a joint that fits 3/8 in and 5/8 in mic arm threads.
This is a brown-box unit: it comes in plain packaging instead of the HyperX retail box.
Works with PC and Mac.
