SPC Gear, the gaming sub-brand of European manufacturer SilentiumPC, is launching a brand new line of USB streaming microphones called AXIS. AXIS is a multipurpose high quality microphone with variable directivity technology. It is enclosed in a strong metal frame and mounted on top of a thick and stable base.
AXIS microphone features include a recording volume control knob, a 3.5mm headphone mini-jack, a volume potentiometer, a touch-sensitive mute button, and even adjustable RGB lighting. The most notable feature is the ability to adjust the recording direction, allowing users to choose from four polarity settings: cardioid, bidirectional, stereo, and omnidirectional. This makes it suitable for various applications such as streaming, playing with friends, streaming.
AXIS Streaming is also available in Onyx White, further expanding the SPC Gear ONYX White range of attractive peripherals. This unique style combines white, silver and shades of gray and is based on a rare white variety of onyx, a very attractive and durable mineral. The striking appearance makes it a great addition to any similarly themed computer rig and pairs exceptionally well with other Onyx White SPC Gear products.
The AXIS microphone allows users to easily change the recording direction. The cardioid mode automatically isolates the speaker’s voice and muffles background noise, and works best while streaming or chatting with friends while gaming. Stereo mode allows users to create high-quality recordings of instrument and vocal sounds while retaining their natural depth and dimension. Two-way recording (front and back) conveniently records a conversation between two people sitting opposite each other. There is also an omnidirectional mode that makes it easy to record all surrounding sounds. Users can switch between different polarity settings by pressing the recording volume knob, with the selected mode easily identified by the four LEDs on the top of the microphone.
The AXIS model has a built-in touch mute button on the top of the microphone. The convenient button location allows users to quickly mute the microphone while playing, working or studying without pressing keyboard shortcuts or minimizing any applications or windows. Mute activation is indicated by a red LED at the top of the microphone. It also features a gain knob, allowing users to conveniently adjust the recording volume when needed.
