The Quantum Stream supports impressive recording resolutions up to 24-bit / 96 kHz for high-quality digital audio. Plug-and-play operation via the USB connector and a convenient mute button make the mic simple to use, while the 3.5mm headphone jack allows you to monitor your audio in real time. An indenting front-panel knob controls the headphone volume; pressing it allows you to adjust the mic input gain and switch between pickup patterns. The included RGB desktop stand is especially well suited to gaming, but can be removed to reveal a standard 5/8″ threading that lets you mount the mic to boom arms and floor stands.
