The " CAPCOM Pro Tour Online 2020 " was held on October 24th and 25th, 2020, and the Asia-Tokyo Grand Prix 2 was a real blast.
Gachi-kun was crowned the winner and qualified for the "CAPCOM CUP 2020" finals! Congratulations!
My personal best bout was the 5th and final round of the Winners Final between Gachikun and Tokido. My hands were sweating!
Now the two players from East Asia who have qualified for the CAPCOM CUP 2020 have been decided, and Gachi-kun and the other player is Daigo Umehara, who you all know as Umehara.
Umehara is a frequent streamer, but you may have noticed a microphone in his videos recently.
Umehara's favorite glowing gaming condenser microphone, the HyperX QuadCast S, is now available!
High-performance condenser microphone with RGB lighting
HyperX QuadCast S is a glowing gaming condenser microphone with RGB lighting.
It is a lighting-enhanced version of the popular " HyperX QuadCast " condenser microphone that has been on the market for some time.
The enhanced lighting version retains the same popular microphone performance, but now comes with 16,777,216 RGB lighting colors that are easy to see and visually express your individuality!
When you're streaming live, if you want to get the best sound possible, the microphone will inevitably be in the camera's reflection, and if it's going to be in the camera, it better "look" good!
The HyperX NGENUITY software is compatible with the HyperX NGENUITY software, so you can use the software to set the lighting to your liking and create your own unique lighting effects.
Not only does it glow, but it also functions as an LED status indicator, so when you want to mute the microphone, tap the touch sensor on the top of the device!
When the light goes out, the microphone is muted, and when the light glows, the microphone is on.
You can choose from four polarities: stereo, omni-directional, cardioid, and bi-directional, so you can deliver clear audio not only for live broadcasts, but also for various uses and environments, such as instrument recording and meetings.
The dial on the main unit allows for easy switching, so you can use it in different ways depending on the situation.
The bottom of the main unit is a dial for adjusting gain, so you can intuitively adjust it according to the situation, making this condenser microphone not only attractive but also easy to use.
Release date and price
The HyperX QuadCast S will be released on Monday, October 26, 2020, at a price of 21,300 yen (tax included).
There are many high-performance microphones out there, but none that "look" this good.
The "HyperX QuadCast S" is the perfect product to enhance the quality of your live streaming with its clear audio, ease of use, and " attractive " appearance.
