Streamplify microphone:
This is an interesting microphone that includes a number of neat features that make it interesting and perhaps a valid alternative to the HyperX Quadcast.
Those features include a built in shock mount and attachable pop filter, RGB lighting and great capture quality, but it's also interesting because it seems to have a hardware level noise cancellation system too.
In this video I'm showing you how to setup the mic and giving you a mic sound test with both the mic on its tripod and on a boom arm.
