Vocals - Vocals
HypeMiC's unique analog compression pumps up vocal recordings like no other microphone. The three compression settings available on the HypeMiC will offer you a balanced as if already mixed sound without the need for an external expensive outboard. Capturing your voice has never been easier.

Acoustic instruments
HypeMiC brings subtlety and warmth to recording acoustic instruments. A choice of different compression allows you to capture the full tone of your instrument without compromise. Designed for high acoustic pressure, HypeMiC is able to capture pure detail even when recording percussion or brass instruments.

Spoken word/audio for video
HypeMiC is ideal for live streaming, podcasts and broadcast. HypeMiC offers balanced dynamics for higher clarity in recordings for broadcast. HypeMiC is fully compatible with any Mac/PC and iOS app, so you always have a professional solution with you on the go.

Dedicated recording
HypeMiC gives you a new sound for your recording. You can connect it analogue to your mixing console or other device and record an already compressed signal.

Compressor settings
HypeMiC offers you three analog compression settings accessible via a front panel control. Try all settings with different sources and choose to your taste. Adjust the input level before setting the compression, and keep in mind that compression will also emphasize noise and ambient sounds during recording.

- Shape it (lowest) - The smallest compression ratio ideal for subtle editing of vocals or captured instruments
- Squeeze it (medium) - Medium compression ratio ideal for editing spoken word (commentary, interviews, podcasts)
- Smash it (high) - High compression ideal for intensive editing of vocals for broadcast purposes, or percussion instruments.

Singing without delay
HypeMiC also offers a stereo headphone output with Blend function allowing for zero-latency listening. The Blend setting directly on the body of the HypeMiC microphone allows you to adjust the ratio of direct listening to the microphone input and listening to recorded material from your DAW software to create the right listening mix when recording.

Listening with a higher level
Whether you're monitoring while recording to your favorite app or streaming audio, the stereo output on HypeMiC dramatically improves the sound quality at the output. With high-resolution sample rates up to 96kB and ample headroom, HypeMiC delivers incredible clarity and plenty of volume for your headphones or active speakers.

Premium accessories
The manufacturers have even kept in mind the fact that musicians and producers travel frequently, so you'll get an extensive set of accessories with the microphone to help you record your ideas anytime, anywhere. You'll receive the HYPE Mic in a durable case for safe transport, which also includes a tabletop mic stand, Pop filter and a set of three USB cables for the most optimal connectivity.
