HyperX SoloCast Microphone – Compact USB Mic with Professional Sound Quality
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
The HyperX SoloCast is designed for users who need high-quality audio with minimal setup. Simply connect the microphone using the USB-C to USB-A cable- and it works instantly with your PC or console. It's ideal for streamers- content creators- podcasters- and remote workers who want clear sound without technical complications.
Cardioid Pickup Pattern for Voice Focus
The microphone uses a cardioid polar pattern- which means it captures sound directly in front of the mic while reducing unwanted background noise from the sides and rear. This makes it perfect for solo recordings- live streaming- or video conferencing- where clarity and focus are key.
Studio-Level Audio Performance
Despite its compact design- the SoloCast delivers studio-grade audio- with a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz and a sampling rate of 48kHz/16-bit. It captures vocals with impressive detail and minimal distortion- providing professional-level clarity for both speech and basic vocal recording.
Touch-to-Mute Sensor with LED Indicator
The microphone features a tap-to-mute sensor on top- offering a quick and silent way to mute your audio. A red LED light clearly shows when the mic is muted- helping avoid any accidental interruptions during calls or recordings.
Compact and Adjustable Design
The SoloCast is small and lightweight- measuring about 13 cm in height and weighing approximately 260 grams. It includes a tiltable stand that can swivel and adjust for optimal placement on your desk. The mic is also compatible with standard 3/8- and 5/8- microphone arms- offering flexibility in any setup.
