Side address6Reviewtomshardware.com/peripherals/microphones/hyperx-quadcast-2-s-reviewRead 14 October 2026The multifunction knob is on the front of the cylindrical microphone and tap-to-mute is on the top, so the microphone is spoken into from its side.

Frequency responseiPublished acoustic range of the microphone. A sample rate does not establish it.

Min20 HzMax20 kHz1Maker product pagehyperx.com/products/hyperx-quadcast-2-s-usb-microphoneRead 14 October 2026Frequency response 20Hz - 20kHz, no tolerance given.2Maker spec sheet (PDF)tdbaltic.ee/leaflets/HYPERX/9A273AA.pdfRead 14 October 2026Frequency response (microphone): 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

Min50 HzMax20 kHz2Retailer pageamazon.co.uk/dp/B0D1B9YGYVRead 16 October 2026The comparison chart in the maker's A+ content lists TC320 Frequency Response 50Hz-20kHz. The structured attributes of the same listing print Frequency Range 20Hz 20kHz, which conflicts. The chart is stored because it is the maker's model comparison and the sibling TC310 manual also prints 50Hz-20kHz.

Sensitivity (analog)iAnalog output level for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz, as published in dBV. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A value published only in mV/Pa is converted as 20 x log10(mV/Pa / 1000) and rounded to one decimal, so 1.6 mV/Pa is -55.9 dBV/Pa. The printed value goes in the source note. A sensitivity in plain dB with no reference, as many low-cost USB microphones print it, is left out.

Not available

Not available

Sensitivity (digital)iDigital output level over USB for 94 dB SPL at 1 kHz. The minimum gain value is used when several are given. The gain setting goes in the source note. On a USB-only microphone use this field only when the maker prints dBFS or ties a dBV value to the USB output, as Shure does for the MV7i. A dBV, dB re 1 V/Pa or mV/Pa value that names no USB output is left out. The printed unit and the gain go in the source note. A value printed for another reference level is converted by the level difference, so -40 dBFS at 80 dB SPL is -26 dBFS at 94 dB SPL. The printed value goes in the source note.

-8dBFS1Maker product pagehyperx.com/products/hyperx-quadcast-2-s-usb-microphoneRead 14 October 2026Printed as -8 dBFS +-4 dB at 94 dB SPL, 1 kHz, default volume. No minimum gain value is given.

Not available

Max SPLiHighest sound pressure level at the source's distortion limit. The THD level and output path go in the source note. The value without a clipping protection mode such as Clipguard is used when both are given. The value with the pad off is used. When the maker lists several preamp loads, the highest load is used. The load goes in the source note. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for sensitivity.

Max SPL distortion limitiThe distortion level at which the maker states the max SPL, e.g. 1, 3 or 10 % THD. Left out when the maker names none. Max SPL figures compare only at the same limit.

Self-noiseiEquivalent noise level, A-weighted, in dB SPL. Lower is quieter. The analog value is used when analog and digital values are both given. A value in dBV or dBFS is left out. On a USB microphone that prints values per gain setting, the minimum gain value is used, as for max SPL.

Output impedanceiRated impedance of the XLR output. For a microphone with a switchable preamp, the bypass value is used. A USB-only microphone has no value here, even when the maker prints an impedance for the capsule.

Onboard controlsiFunctions you can change on the microphone itself, by knob, button, switch or touch. Settings that exist only in the app do not count. A switch that sets preamp gain steps, such as +18 or +28 dB, counts as gain. Echo is a knob or button for an echo or reverb effect.

Onboard processingiProcessing inside the microphone, analog or digital, that works without the maker's app running. A maker statement that settings are saved in the microphone counts. Effects that run only in the app on the computer do not count. An expander counts as noise gate. Clip protection such as Clipguard is clip protection. Limiter is only for a limiter the maker lists as its own effect, never both for one feature. Brand names such as APHEX or Clipguard go in the source note. Attenuation pad is a switch that lowers the capsule output, such as -15 dB. Echo is an echo or reverb effect in the microphone. Exciter or bass enhancer covers effects that add harmonics or bass, such as APHEX Aural Exciter and Big Bottom.

Dimensions and weight

2 of 3 differ

Microphone dimensionsiMicrophone body without a stand or a detachable shock mount. A fixed yoke is included. Width is left to right as seen by the speaker, height is bottom to top in normal use and depth is front to back. Orient the microphone as in use on its yoke or stand. Depth is the direction it points at the speaker, height is up and width is across. An upright side-address microphone has its length as height. An end-address microphone has its length as depth, also when it is held in the hand. A round microphone with only a length and a diameter uses the diameter for the other two sides. The source note states the mapping.

Width53.98Height212.73Depth53.98mm(2.1 × 8.4 × 2.1 in)6Reviewtomshardware.com/peripherals/microphones/hyperx-quadcast-2-s-reviewRead 14 October 2026The review prints 8.375 in (212.73 mm) tall by 2.125 in (53.98 mm) in diameter, without the stand. The microphone stands upright and is spoken into from its side, so the length is the height. The diameter is used for width and depth. The same review weighs the microphone at 344.7 g, which matches the maker. Retailer sizes such as Alza 134 x 256 x 102 mm describe the assembled unit with the stand and are not used.
