The HyperX QuadCast is a full-featured standalone USB condenser microphone. This Quick Start Guide will help you get set up and started.

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.
Most people have a dedicated mute button but with this you dont need it
@@MrChristoffer5700 Yeah and the indicator makes it more obvious aswell in case you thought u muted but actually didnt.
Ok, that’s cool, I think I found my microphone for live streaming! Cheers from Japan!
Cheers oillko

Excellent guide and one of the reasons I will continue to support HyperX. Great work guys and I love my Quadcast!
Just bought one today and out of the box everything was great. Great product!
Getting mine as soon as it comes out on the 9th. CAN'T WAIT!
Im using this mic since christmas everyday & i love it everyday more
So happy to have this as my first microphone! Being a beginner music writer this will help me get a way smoother start 🔥🔥🔥
does it work for singing?
@@dutyofcall7659it does i can confirm
I realized I can plug in my Cloud Alpha's into this and it changed my life. I have sidetone now and the wire doesn't need to be plugged into the back of the PC.... best EVER
i came from logitech which as built in sidetone too so i love this so much
@@aCookieGod lol i use this too :P
aCookieGod! I love your vids
Thank you very much, just got this though I'll need to tweak this a little but it sounds great!
Thank you! i didn't know about the different types of audio setting
So glad I found this. I had no clue how to use it and it was picking up all noise, I probably should have used instructions
Thank you so much hyperx I was wondering why people thought my mic was bad for gaming until I realised it was on the wrong setting!
Looks awesme. I love the red glow. Can't aford it sadly.
Brilliant intro and set up video. First HyperX product and so far impressed.
awesome video! I just got a new Hyperx Mic for christmas and im trying to learn on how to use it and this video helped me out a ton! thanks again!
Just got the RGB mic a few days ago. Great mic!
My first mic and I am so impressed, absolutely recommend
Hey! How does it do with yelling/loud sounds? I'm a bit of a screamer and my current mic crackles super badly when I do that. Does it handle it well?
This looks and sounds amazing!
the quadcast S was out of stock so i got the original red one, coming in 2 days, pretty hyped.
I use HyperX ram , need a mic to compliment it. Just found my mic 💪
hyperx u have made the best mic every i was gonna buy a blue yeti until i saw this mic and i new this would be better thx for making this mic
Okay so how is it going with this mic? I am on the verge of making a decision from the Blue Yeti or this Mic HyperX Quadcast!!
@@MikeKollin I got the hyperx. I am not sure which is better but when I play and talk with my friends on discord I prefer using it Close than far away. So if you have a blue yeti idk if its better longer away but I know the hyperx is better for closer :-)
@@Oscar-fo5eu Okay Thanks...
@@Oscar-fo5eu What about the red light always on? Isn't that annoying sometimes?
@@nitayb Yes it is, but when it is I just move it a little behind my head.
Got the cloud flight and the quadcast amazing duo
Getting it soon, can't wait, love HyperX products
I don’t even own one of these but I am still watching this
same
Me too i wan't one
First lamp in the world to record sound
very simple and useful video, well done.
just bought mine! love it so much
Just got this mic! Easy to set up and works great!
Hi! I ordered mine and it does not output audio but i hear myself but my friends does not hear me on discord i tried EVERYTHING maybe you can help me?
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.
I don't know why I'm watching this, I don't even have the mic
yea me too lol
nines own goal what does your pf mean
@@_also__also_5170 nothing special. It's just a picture of my idol

love ur gaming gear and basically i love HyperX
Thank you I need this
what is the best settings for the mic and windows microphone level
Do you think it makes a difference when using a regular pop-filter, verses one of those that stick right on to the mic?
If there is a difference because it changes the p
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.
Thank you that helped me lot
lol, after months using it I noticed that at 1:22 you can adjust the mic. So much better results now. Thanks!
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?
Hi. Can you please email us, that we can look into this fo you? eu_technical@hyperx.eu
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
My gf got me this and it’s amazing, I used to have the snowball*
how do you get the bidirectional audio to work i switch to it but you cant hear it
She's a keeper
I love this mic so much
I’ve been recommended by a friend of mine to try out this microphone. I’ve wanted to get a nice upgrade microphone and for me personally, I might go with the hyperx quadcast mic. Especially since I love the black and red design, with the built in shock mount and pop filter. Definitely gonna be excited once I order the mic and try it out!
It's amazing
Lookin like a finalmouse on a mic
Heyy hyperx can you please response because what is the name of the microphone arm in the video?
Vurio6 HyperX quadcast
Σχχοτικ ᎡᎬᎪᏞᎥᎢᎽ that the microphone not the micophone arm
Planning to do a unboxing of this amazing mic
this video is amazing
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.
paz I hope they make a blue one.

Sameeee
paz same I have a purple and white and black setup and this won’t fit in at all

Hello HyperX♨️,We have a problem with the software for mice.IT FRICKIN DOESENT SAVE CONFIGS
Select the preferred profile you want to save onto your mouse. Click and drag the avatar/profile into the empty slot under the profile list you've created. Here is an image for reference: spr.ly/6058Egseq
Best mic out right now.
Answered every question lol thanks!
This is kinda late, but I bought this a while ago, and it's great, but it picks up too much sound. My keyboard isn't that loud, but it's amplified with the mic. Even when it's on a low gain setting. I can't seem to remove the keyboard and background sound from my audio.

ik this is kind of late, but some softwares and games have noise suppression that should solve that issue
@@LilMafiaCheezit very late indeed. not to worry, i’ve been using Nvidia Broadcast to solve that

Can you connect a bluetooth headset to the mic to hear the audio input??
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 :) .
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 ?
On your website it looks like it is advertised with pictures of people using it with wireless headphones, that's why I was confused.
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 :) .
@@EraNyan connect the mic then connect your headphones t0 the pc
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
Hey just here to say that I been enjoying my HyperX Quadcast (S) - been getting tons of feedback on the quality and how it looks in my stream overall with all my other gizmos!
I found this mic picked up a lot of background noise, how can I fix it
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
Sure, it will work with wireless headphones too. If you are connecting it to your PC, select the Quadcast as your input device microphone.
@@hyperx thanks for the help 👍
Anytime!
OMG thank you~
I am super dylexic and I often would mute my yeti and not know people could hear me while deep into a game. The quadcast's light is very useful so I haven't had this issue since.
I'm waiting..... When this mic coming to thailand?
ME TOO , WHEN COMING IN MALAYSIA!!!!
*why am I watching this I never touched a hyper X product in my life*

@@u4O4 I use steelseries products so I'm happy as is
Hope this to getting into stores like The Source, Best Buy or Staples!
thanks hyper x
Can i have the name of the mirophone arm?
What is it??
there is no name. it comes when u buy it
@@bruhyeet9201 there is no arm included with the quadcast mic
its just a regualar mic boom arm that you can get for around £10 or $10
In case anyone is still searching for the arm, it's a Foxnovo (cheap arm, i have it for my quadcast works perfectly), cost a bit less than 20€ in EU.

This is epic I wish I had this mic rather than mine

I just bought the S I can’t wait
Best mic I have ever owned!
#Hyperxfamily 😍 😍
Great video addition I would have a question on a part of the hyperx Quadcast microphone what is the name of the part which suspends the microphone on a boom in black mine is broken I also wanted to buy this boom
yeah I just got it, for anyone who is thinking about buying this, please do
did not tell anyone i bought this microphone, bought it in store with cash, did not sign up for the mail stuff, never looked up this microphone or mentioned it to anyone or anything (it was an impulse buy.) and this is in my recommendation. thank you, youtube. lol.
This one is king
I have the mic and didn’t realize how multi-purposeful it truly was
Litteraly the best microphone in 2024! HyperX did a awesome job with this microphone!
the best mic
LOVE IT
I loved the part when they demonstrated the sound pick up in the spots it wasn’t supposed to as an example
I have thought about getting a hyperx quadcast after my confimation, and i have been looking at a mic arm, that supports 3,8 and its really nice that the quadcast mic comes with a 3,8 and 5,8 supporter and btw i also have the keyboard from you, and once i saw on instagram that hyperx now got the keyboard with rgb lighting, and i got so happy and then i came home and found out that you had to buy a whole new keyboard to get the rgb lighting, but it is a really great keyboard :)
Already got it, I’ve been using it on stereo the whole time
Is3tfire Gaming lmao, same bruh, cardioid hours time
Works grate! blocks out my mom yelling at her baking showes!
I finally got it
Honestly. USB wise its an awesome mic but you could really do with an XLR version too
helpful asf
@hyperx Its an amazing product, I had two QuadCast microphone but i didnt know How both used in PC?

Amazing
Is there a better mic with as many features at this price point? I think not... and I just got mine 30% off. Great work HyperX

Hello, is this a great starter mic to use for voice acting/voice over work ?
