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.

[@Plague_Doc22]

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.

[@MrChristoffer5700]

Most people have a dedicated mute button but with this you dont need it

[@Plague_Doc22]

@@MrChristoffer5700 Yeah and the indicator makes it more obvious aswell in case you thought u muted but actually didnt.

[@rangle5089]

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.

Do you think it makes a difference when using a regular pop-filter, verses one of those that stick right on to the mic?

[@FernanJQN]

If there is a difference because it changes the p

[@naxe8292]

Only a little, I prefer the ones that stick right on to the mic because of convenience, but the regular pop-filter is often a little better since you can move around the filter depending on what sound you want on your P/B etc.

[@Diversion5]

Hi I just bought this recently and it sounds great but when I switch the patterns there’s no difference in where the audio is captured. Do I need some additional software or no?

[@hyperx]

Hi. Can you please email us, that we can look into this fo you? [e-mail]

[@tsohgallik]

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

[@pazatek]

Is there a possibility of different colors in the future? I know most HyperX products have the red themes, but it wouldn't fit with what I have.

[@EraNyan]

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

[@hyperx]

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 :) .

[@EraNyan]

Thank you so much for your response. So it's not possible to connect the mic with my PC and then connect my Bluetooth headphones to the PC to hear the sound input ?

[@EraNyan]

On your website it looks like it is advertised with pictures of people using it with wireless headphones, that's why I was confused.

[@hyperx]

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 :) .

Turn down the mic sensitivity knob on the bottom and check which polar pattern you have selected. Try to pick the pattern that is aimed at the audio you wish to pick up only.

Does this Work with A Wireless Headphones? I got a HUHD wireless headset. 1:37
