Has Cardioid Pattern
HyperX QuadCast has the cardioid pattern, mics that use this pattern have a wide on-axis receiving area and maximum rejection at 180 degrees off-axis. This means that this pattern is more directional and sensitive to the front of the microphone in the on-axis position, and reduces in sensitivity in the sides and a zero point in the base of the mic.
Has Omnidirectional Pattern
HyperX QuadCast has the omnidirectional polar pattern, which can receive sound in all directions. Omni mics have an equal sensitivity to sound coming from all sides. You don't need to position them in any particular direction to record the source sound
Has Bidirectional Pattern
Known as a figure-of-eight polar pattern, the HyperX QuadCast uses a bidirectional pattern which has 2 angles of maximum sensitivity and two angles of minimum sensitivity. Just like omni mics, these mics produce an open and natural sound.
Lowest Frequency
HyperX QuadCast has its lowest frequency at 20Hz, a mic with a low frequency below 50Hz is good for snares, and toms, or if you're looking for a bass drum microphone.
Highest Frequency
The HyperX QuadCast's upper limiting frequency is 20,000Hz, meaning that sounds at a frequency above 20,000Hz will not be recorded. In an ideal situation, a mic's frequency response would be a one-to-one reproduction, in reality, some vibrations get lost along the way and some of the information doesn't make it to the final recording.
Microphone Sensitivity
HyperX QuadCast
15.9mV/Pa
HyperX QuadCast's sensitivity is measured at 15.9mV/Pa, this tells you what the electrical output of a microphone will be for a given acoustic input. The higher the number, the more sensitive the microphone is.
