since it’s designed to only pick up what is right in front of the mic.
Now, I mentioned that it comes with four different pickup patterns, and while they all may have their place, you’re probably going to be using the cardioid one the most, especially if you’re doing voice-over, singing, Streaming, etc. The other reason is that since the microphone only lights up when it is recording, you’ll have visual feedback when it’s muted or not. This way you only need to unmute it and you’re back recording at the exact same level. This is a really nice feature to have for two reasons Most USB microphones don’t have this option and you need to turn the Gain dial all the way down if you want to mute it, and getting the exact same level afterwards can be tricky. On the top of the microphone you’ll find a touch-sensitive “Mute” button When the mic is muter, the background light inside the microphone will turn off. Once the microphone is connected and working, it will light up in a really nice red color (I used to think that this was the color of the microphone itself, but it’s actually thanks to the internal lighting). On the back of the microphone you’ll have access to the USB connection and to a headphone jack that lets you do zero-latency monitoring. Note: The AT2020 USB doesn’t come with a built-in shock mount.
It comes attached to a desk-stand that also has a built-in shock mount, and this is definitely a really nice bonus to have since it will either completely avoid picking up unwanted vibrations coming from the desk, or at least reduce them significantly. What they do have in common are the pickup patterns, since the HyperX Quadcast also features Cardioid-, Omni-, Bi-directional-, and stereo patterns. Of course, it can be used to do almost anything since it’s a very versatile microphone, but even though I like its appearance, it’s definitely not as professional-looking as some other microphones, including the AT2020 USB So, firstly this microphone is clearly aimed towards gamers who want to stream their gameplay, or just YouTubers in general, because of the way it looks.
