Endgame Gear XSTRM best mic settings for great audio
43This is the Endgame Gear XSTRM USB mic. A mic that I assumed was just a knock-off of the HyperX Quadcast S (https://youtu.be/DH-G6nLiS2U), but turns out to be so much more.
In this video I'm showing you how to make it sound great:
1 - get it on a boom arm and get it close to your mouth
2 - reduce the gain as much as possible
3 - set the mic to 192KHz/24-bit sample rate in Windows sound settings
4 - Set it so you can hear mic monitoring
5 - Test out AI noise cancellation
6 - Make sure it's selected as the default communication device
7 - Apply other settings in OBS
8 - Test levels and adjust the gain
