Have you ever wondered why your favorite song sounds so good when it comes through your speakers? The vocals magically emerge from the background music. Compression plays a key role here. HypeMiC is a USB microphone that allows you to easily add studio-quality analog compression. Whatever you're recording, from vocals, narration, and podcasts to percussion and various instruments, with HypeMiC and your iPhone or computer, the place where you feel inspired becomes the studio. You can incorporate vivid, high-quality sound into your recordings.

■HypeMiC makes recording easier and more high-quality

Music - Vocals
HypeMiC's unique analog compression gives vocal sounds a texture that no other microphone can match, enhancing their appeal. Three compression settings are available, allowing you to record a balanced mix quality without the need for professional processing or mixing.

Recording has never been easier, so you'll never miss your best take again.

■Acoustic Instruments
The smoothness and warmth of HypeMiC will take recording acoustic instruments to a new level. The compression level always changes appropriately, so you can capture the rich tone of the instrument without compromising.

Designed to withstand high sound pressure, HypeMiC allows you to record loud acoustic instruments such as brass, choirs, and drums with clarity and detail.

■Narration/Audio for Video
Podcasts, narration, interviews, YouTube recordings, live streaming, meetings

Live streaming, podcasts, broadcasts, HypeMiC balances audio dynamics and excellent clarity for broadcast and streaming quality recordings. HypeMiC is compatible with most applications on Mac/PC and iOS that allow you to select an audio device. You can always record with professional studio-quality sound, no matter where you are.

■Utilize its unique character
HypeMiC analog output
If you're looking for a fresh, vibrant sound to record or mix with, HypeMiC is the answer. Input the signal from HypeMiC's stereo output into a mixer, audio interface, or hardware recorder to incorporate the unique and powerful sound of HypeMiC compression.

■No-latency monitoring
Monitor with zero latency while recording with the Blend function

Like Jam+ and MiC+, HypeMiC's 3.5mm stereo headphone output allows you to monitor with zero latency with the Blend function. Blend allows you to adjust the mix between the direct signal (input from the microphone) and the software playback (output from your computer) to find the perfect balance.

Monitor recording and playback in your favorite production applications, listen to streaming, or listen to a mix. HypeMiC will dramatically improve the quality of any audio playback. With a high-resolution sample rate of 96kHz, HypeMiC has ample headroom to drive headphones and powered speakers with amazing clarity and powerful volume.
