Say it in front
Now there are more and more "stinky games", with the development of the post-epidemic era, everyone can not be as good as before with friends "Internet cafes five consecutive sitting", so the number of domestic Internet cafes in the past two years began to decline significantly, so if you want to play games at home in the process of clear and smooth communication, the premise is to have a good microphone.
Also because of the epidemic, the live broadcast industry is a small wave of small peaks, the anchors' requirements for microphones are naturally self-evident, even if the anchors who do not sing are also hoping that their own speech, even the key rhythm sound in the operation process is best to be included, so it has also spawned many excellent manufacturers to begin to get involved in this area that is not popular but has clear needs, such as ELGATO, HyperX these excellent peripheral manufacturers.
What we got today is the flagship microphone from HyperX, which can also be said to be the best microphone we can buy at the current consumer level - HyperX Sonic S RGB microphone.
The side of the package indicates that this microphone has 4 radio modes and can cover a variety of application scenarios.
There is an introduction to the microphone characteristics on the back of the package:
One-click mute;
Quadrupole mode;
Bracket adaptation / internal anti-spray mesh;
Gain manual adjustment;
HyperX drivers support custom lighting adjustments.
Accessories everything from simple:
Connecting cables;
Adapters;
Instruction manual/warranty card.
The overall appearance of the Sonic S RGB is a bit longer than a regular condenser, and my reaction when I got started was - how can I remove the microphone from the stabilizer?
As a result, it took half a day, and it seemed that there was no way to directly dismantle it.
The stabilizer is fixed to the microphone through a few screws around, the advantage of this design is that it can provide full protection for the microphone powder itself, and the usual use is generally on the stabilizer, one is protection, after all, such a valuable microphone, can not fall on the ground so much.
Second, the suspension design can minimize the desktop vibration caused by the keyboard on the desktop, so that part of the energy is transmitted to the microphone in the form of low frequency, resulting in an annoying roar.
At the bottom of the S RGB is a skin-like input gain knob that can be easily controlled for input level levels.
The condenser one-button mute switch at the top toggles the lighting of the microphone, one key directly, quickly.
From the side, the bracket of the Sonic S is very slender, but the strength is very good, and the quality of the aluminum alloy is still unquestionable.
Four-pole mode, which is actually not a new function, is adapted to different scenes by changing the pickup direction of the microphone.
From left to right:
Stereo mode: capable of recording stereo sound, suitable for VOCAL or acoustic instrumental recording with phased;
Omnidirectional: multi-person meetings, or recording of ambient sounds;
Heart-shaped pointing: single-player voice, live broadcast, single instrumental music;
Bipolarity: A face-to-face interview scenario.
Behind is the Type-C interface and JACK audio output, because the sound wave S built-in a separate DSP sound card, so for many sound card damaged students can play a role in timely rain, while the output port on the table, can also minimize the length of the headphone cable.
It is not easy to remove this suspension bracket, and unconventional shape screws can only be covered by buying a set of screwdrivers.
The workmanship at the hinge is also extremely exquisite, without the meaning of sloppiness.
The base is designed with three large non-slip rubber patches that can stand firmly on the table without being easily pushed.
The honeycomb-shaped mesh provides a good visual effect, and the white thing inside is actually a layer of anti-spray wheat sponge.
After the bracket is screwed down, it can be replaced with a fitted adapter, which can be used to connect to a universal cantilever bracket.
After connecting to the computer, the light came on and the applause rang out.
Thanks to the design of the spray sponge, while playing the spray, it also provides a considerable part of the ability to uniformize the light, and the sound wave S RGB light is soft and charming.
If your desk also has a chassis with RGB lights, you are also a "light pollution" enthusiast, and Sonic S RGB on the table will be a beautiful landscape.
After turning on the NGENUITY driver, smoothly connect to the Sonic S RGB, where you can adjust parameters such as audio volume and monitoring.
At the same time, you can also personalize the RGB lighting, since it is a sound wave S, you must choose a wave, the wave is good.
In actual use, whether it is acoustic guitar singing or in-game communication, I will use the cardioid pickup mode, the pickup with clear directionality can effectively block most of the game background sound from my speaker (Presonus e 3.5), the recorded audio is clear and textured, and the high sample rate can also meet most of the post-production requirements, making the sound work more delicate and full.
summary
Desktop microphone In fact, HyperX has a lot of high-quality items, including sound waves, sound pulses these relatively specialized scene products, sound waves S RGB can be said to be a desktop microphone set of the master:
Excellent appearance ID design;
Leather solid materials;
Natural RGB lighting;
