Designed specifically for single sound-source speech in gaming and streaming applications, the white Capsule USB Condenser Microphone from NZXT is a user-friendly mic that delivers clear, high-resolution sound, and flexible onboard controls for your content creation. With a simple plug-and-play USB Type-C connection and a cardioid pickup pattern for rejecting unwanted background noise (such as computer fans and keyboard tapping), the Capsule is an ideal tool for improving the quality of your streams.

The mic features a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack for listening to your raw vocals with zero latency, and on-mic controls enable manipulation of microphone gain, headphone volume, and the mute function. The mic comes with a sturdy desktop stand, featuring a convenient quick release mechanism, but also includes a handy 3/8" thread adapter for easily attaching the Capsule to most boom arms. The internal shock absorber helps to avoid vibrations such as desk rumble or accidental bumps during broadcasting, and with a high sample rate of 24-bit / 96 kHz, the Capsule ensures optimal vocal clarity.
