HyperX Upgrades Recording Quality in New QuadCast USB Gaming Microphones

HyperX Announces Upgraded QuadCast USB Gaming Microphones

In an exciting development for gamers and streamers, HyperX has announced the launch of its upgraded QuadCast 2 and QuadCast 2 S USB gaming microphones. These new models provide significant enhancements over their predecessors, including improved recording quality and user-friendly features, all while maintaining a competitive price point.

Enhanced Recording Quality

The original HyperX QuadCast microphones were already popular for their versatility and functionality, but the recording quality was capped at 16-bit/48kHz. The new QuadCast 2 takes it a step further, offering recording quality of up to 24-bit/96kHz. For those seeking even higher fidelity, the QuadCast 2 S maxes out at an impressive 32-bit/192kHz recording quality.

Price Points of the New Models

  • QuadCast 2: Updated price - $149.99 (previously $139.99)
  • QuadCast 2 S: Updated price - $199.99 (previously $159.99)

Modern Features and Design Improvements

Both the QuadCast 2 and QuadCast 2 S now include USB-C ports, replacing the older microUSB connections found in the original QuadCast. Additionally, the new models feature a redesigned multifunction control dial that simplifies the user experience by combining gain adjustment, volume control, mic monitoring, and polar pattern selection into one convenient dial.

Redesigned Shock Mounts

Another notable improvement is in the design of the shock mounts. The new shock mounts allow users to easily detach the microphones without needing to unscrew or disassemble anything, adding to the convenience of these upgraded models.

LED Lighting Enhancements

While maintaining the LED lighting of previous models, the QuadCast 2 is limited to red LEDs that turn off when muted. In contrast, the QuadCast 2 S comes with 100 multicolor addressable LEDs that users can customize through HyperX’s Ngenuity desktop software, enabling gamers to match their microphone's lighting with their gaming room aesthetic.

Availability

The QuadCast 2 S is set to be available today, while the more advanced QuadCast 2 is anticipated to be released sometime in November. With these new iterations, HyperX is affirming its commitment to providing high-quality audio solutions for gamers and content creators alike.

Conclusion

The upgraded HyperX QuadCast 2 and QuadCast 2 S microphones represent a significant advancement in gaming audio technology, delivering better quality and user experience. They are poised to be essential tools for anyone serious about their streaming or gaming experience.
