Connectivity & compatibility: USB-C to USB-A cable included; works with PC, Mac and PS4/PS5 (plug-and-play). Certified for Discord and TeamSpeak; works with OBS, Streamlabs and XSplit.
On-mic controls & monitoring: Gain control knob, tap-to-mute sensor with LED indicator and a headphone jack for zero-latency monitoring.
Vibration isolation & pop filtering: Built-in anti-vibration elastic suspension and internal pop filter to reduce desk rumble and plosives. External pop filter also included.
The QuadCast S provides four selectable polar patterns (cardioid, bidirectional, omnidirectional and stereo). Use cardioid for single-voice streaming or podcasting to isolate the speaker, bidirectional for two-person interviews, omnidirectional for round-table/group capture, and stereo for ASMR or instrument-style recordings where a wider image is desired. The flexibility makes the mic useful for creators who switch formats.
These factors represent the most critical aspects that will impact your satisfaction with this product.
