Features
Gradient RGB Symphony Lights:
The microphone features cyclic and gradient RGB lights that align with modern live broadcast aesthetics, providing an immersive gaming experience. A key safety feature is that the RGB lights turn off when the microphone is muted, preventing accidental broadcasts.
Practical and Convenient Functions:
Equipped with a one-button mute touch sensor for instant muting/unmuting, indicated by the RGB light status. A rotary control volume button at the bottom allows for easy gain adjustment. The integrated 3.5mm headphone jack enables real-time voice monitoring for timely adjustments during recording or streaming.
Cardioid Polar Pattern:
This microphone utilizes a cardioid polar pattern, which captures crisp, smooth, and clear sound directly in front of the microphone. This design effectively reduces side pickup, allowing the microphone to focus on your voice. It also features a 25mm ultra-large capacitor diaphragm capsule, capable of capturing a wider range of audio with a sampling rate of up to 192kHz, ensuring delicate and noise-free pickup.

Solid Fit and Noise Reduction:
The microphone comes with a weighted carbon steel base, ensuring stability even during intense gaming sessions. It includes a detachable metal anti-splash screen (pop filter) that more effectively filters plosive sounds compared to traditional sponges. A rubber elastic band firmly clamps the microphone on the shock mount, significantly reducing vibration noise from keyboard typing and mouse clicks.
Plug and Play Compatibility:
Designed for streaming, this PC gaming microphone is compatible with PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5, desktop computers, and laptops. Its plug-and-play functionality allows for quick entry into game chats. The 180CM long detachable USB data cable provides ample length for flexible placement without limitations.
