How to use

Connect the SoloCast 2 to a compatible device using the included USB-C cable; the microphone will be recognised automatically on systems that support plug-and-play USB audio. Position the mic with its cardioid pickup facing the speaker to prioritise vocal clarity and reduce background noise. Use the tap-to-mute function to mute or unmute quickly; the LED indicator shows mute status. Open HyperX NGENUITY software to select and save high-pass, low-pass or voice enhancement filters according to your environment and voice.

Recommendations

Place the microphone 10–30 cm from your mouth, slightly off-axis, to reduce plosives. Use the built-in pop filter and enable a high-pass filter in noisy environments to minimise low-frequency rumble. For consistent results, configure and save your preferred filter settings in HyperX NGENUITY before streaming or recording.
