HyperX Ships Over One Million USB Microphones

November 3 2021, 00:15
HyperX, the gaming peripherals team at HP, announced it has surpassed the one million shipping milestone with its line of USB microphones, exceeding the companies own expectations for the category. Initially introduced into the microphone market in 2019, the HyperX QuadCast USB microphone became a popular choice for gamers, streamers and influencers. As demand for microphones increased, HyperX expanded its portfolio with the customizable QuadCast S and affordable SoloCast to fulfill the need for gamers, content creators, students, and business professionals working from home.
 

“HyperX is pleased to support a thriving community of content creators, influencers and gamers with the highest quality gaming products to meet their individual setup needs,” says Kevin Hague, general manager, HyperX. “Our continued efforts have created a lineup of microphones that deliver clear and consistent sound not only for gamers, streamers, and casters, but also students and business professionals alike.”

HyperX microphones feature a unique, easy-to-use tap-to-mute sensor with LED status indicator, offering users a visual LED lighting cue when the microphone is active. These versatile and affordable microphones also fit 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch threaded setups for compatibility with most mic stands and boom arms. All HyperX microphones are compatible with Windows PCs, Macs and PS4, and work on major streaming platforms like Streamlabs OBS, OBS Studio, and XSplit and are certified by Discord and TeamSpeak.
 

HyperX QuadCast and Quadcast S microphones offer four polar patterns – stereo, omnidirectional, cardioid, and bidirectional – to support a variety of broadcast setups and applications. The microphones come equipped with a built-in anti-vibration shock mount and pop filter, conveniently located gain control dial and a 3.5mm headphone output for live mic monitoring. For an added layer of personalization, QuadCast S features dynamic RGB lighting effects customizable with HyperX Ngenuity software.3

The HyperX SoloCast USB microphone leverages a single condenser design with a rotatable stand and adjustable tilt to fit in small, tight spaces such as under a monitor. This microphone uses a cardioid polar pattern that prioritizes sound sources directly in front of the microphone to deliver quality audio for video editors, streamers, gamers, and more.
 

The company recently announced the release of the HyperX Streamer Starter Pack, a product bundle retailing for $129.99, combining the brand's HyperX SoloCast USB microphone and Cloud Core gaming headset with DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio. The Cloud Alpha headphones leverage premium memory foam earpads, an expanded headband with softer, pliable leatherette and a durable, lightweight aluminum frame design. The headset features a detachable cable with in-line audio control allowing console gamers to adjust volume and mute microphone right on the cable.

Since the QuadCast microphone launched in 2019, HyperX has expanded its microphone offerings originally designed for gamers and streamers to also appeal to the work-from-home market and content creators. For 18 years, HyperX has been offering gaming headsets, keyboards, mice, USB microphones, and console accessories.  Originally the gaming division of Kingston Technology, HP acquired HyperX in 2021 to drive growth in its Personal Systems business, where gaming and peripherals are attractive segments.
