●HypeMiC makes recording easier and higher quality. ・Music - Vocals
HypeMiC's unique analog compression enhances your vocal sound with a texture that no other microphone can match. With three compression settings, you can achieve a balanced, mixed-quality recording without the need for professional processing or mixing.
Recording has never been easier, so you'll never miss your best take again.
・Acoustic instruments
HypeMiC's smoothness and warmth will take your acoustic instrument recording to a new level, as the compression level is always just right, capturing the rich tone of your instrument without compromising it.
Designed to withstand high sound pressure levels, HypeMiC lets you record loud acoustic instruments like brass, choirs and drums with clarity and detail.
・Narration/Audio for video podcasts, narration, interviews, YouTube recording, live streaming, meetings
Whether you're recording livestreams, podcasts, or broadcasts, HypeMiC balances audio dynamics with exceptional clarity, ensuring you can record in quality that's ready for broadcast. HypeMiC is compatible with most Mac, PC, and iOS apps that allow you to select an audio device. So you can always record professional studio-quality sound, wherever you are.
If you're looking for a fresh, vibrant sound to add to your recordings and mixes, HypeMiC is the perfect choice. Use the signal from HypeMiC's stereo output to feed your mixer, audio interface or hardware recorder, and you'll get the unique, powerful sound of HypeMiC compression.
●Compression settings
HypeMiC offers three selectable compression settings, all controllable via the front panel knob.
・Adjust (less complicated)
A minimal compression setting, perfect for shaping vocals and instruments to fit your recording.
・Complete (Complete)
This setting is ideal for podcasts, interviews, live streams, and other situations where you want to ensure precise vocal dynamics.
・Hit (high compression)
This is suitable for recording voices with maximum compression, such as those used in live broadcasts.
For actual recording, try either setting to find your preference. However, please note that the microphone input level also affects compression. Compression also tends to emphasize environmental noise.
Latency-free monitoring: The Blend function allows you to monitor with zero latency even while recording.
Like Jam+ and MiC+, HypeMiC's 3.5mm stereo headphone output offers zero-latency monitoring with the Blend function, which allows you to adjust the mix between the direct signal (input from your microphone) and software playback (output from your computer) to find the perfect balance.
Louder and clearer. Whether you're recording, monitoring playback in your favorite production applications, or listening to streaming, HypeMiC will dramatically improve the quality of any audio playback. With a high-resolution sample rate of 96kHz, HypeMiC provides ample headroom to drive headphones or powered speakers with stunning clarity and powerful volume.
