I recently bought the hyperx quadcast, and out of the box in OBS, with no added filters, it doesn't sound too great. I didn't fret at first, but then even adding filters could only do so much for the quality. What settings/filters are recommended for this mic?

fantastic review and have since purchased this product and what a difference thanks

[@ultimomos5918]

Solid mic for the price and usability for the average consumer. I've studied audio engineering and for what you're getting here at this price is really solid. Sounds good, plenty of polar pattern options for versatility, included shock mount with no bullshit proprietary mounting options (meaning you can easily mount it to a boom arm or any mic stand)...seems like a no brainer. Looks damn good (RGB version is out noq too) for anyone looking to get into streaming or even voice acting or production without dropping a shit load on a full on mic/interface setup

i went from a blue yeti to this and i like it so much better. it's a lot lighter and less clunky/bulky, and i don't have to deal with third party accessories for shock mount and pop filter. the fact those are built in was a big draw for me. especially since the yeti had that really stupid manufacturing issue with the threading size for screwing mounts. plus, this mic looks sleek with the red!
