Video Transcription

  • 00:00:01 Greetings, everyone. My name is Dr. Furkan  Gözükara. This video is a follow-up to my  

  • 00:00:06 review and unboxing of the HyperX QuadCast  HX-MICQC-BK microphone. In this video,  

  • 00:00:12 I will demonstrate how to achieve the best  sound quality with this microphone by using  

  • 00:00:17 the optimal settings and configuration.  Currently, my microphone is set to Cardioid  

  • 00:00:22 mode with the sensitivity set to medium as shown  in this image. Okay, as you can see right now,  

  • 00:00:29 I do not have any audio input filters enabled in  OBS Studio. However, NVIDIA Broadcast AI Assisted  

  • 00:00:36 Room Echo Removal and Noise Removal filters  are turned on. As shown, as can be seen here.  

  • 00:00:43 Let me quickly show you the settings of  OBS Studio. Currently, I am recording.  

  • 00:00:49 Okay, this is the settings of audio input. As  you can see, sample rate is 48 kHz, channels are  

  • 00:00:58 stereo, and other settings are as default. Decay  rate is fast, peak meter type is true, peak higher  

  • 00:01:04 CPU usage. The output mode is video bit rate.  It is not important for the voice. Audio bit  

  • 00:01:11 rate is 192, as you can see, and I am using the  other settings. For the properties audio input,  

  • 00:01:19 you see the device is selected as microphone  NVIDIA Broadcast. This is important. When you want  

  • 00:01:24 to use NVIDIA Broadcast, which I will explain, you  need to set output for OBS Studio as like this,  

  • 00:01:31 otherwise it won't work. And finally, I have  no filters for audio input capture. Okay.  

  • 00:01:41 So now I will test each one of the polar  patterns and let's see how they are behaving.  

  • 00:01:49 Okay, right now my microphone is set to  stereo polar pattern, which is the first one,  

  • 00:01:54 as can be seen here. Its sound direction  is like this, and this is how it sounds.  

  • 00:02:02 Okay, let's do some tests. 1, 2,  3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Okay.  

  • 00:02:11 Okay, now I have turned off room echo  removal and noise removal. So let's do  

  • 00:02:16 another test and we are currently still in the  stereo mode. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.  

  • 00:02:26 Okay, now our polar pattern is omnidirectional and  the room echo removal and the noise removal are  

  • 00:02:35 activated. So let's do a test. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,  7, 8, 9, 10. Okay, I have the same with the room  

  • 00:02:45 echo removal and noise removal. We are still in  the omnidirectional. Let's do another test. 1, 2,  

  • 00:02:51 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Okay, now we are in the  cardioid mode. In the cardioid mode. There is one  

  • 00:03:01 very important thing that you have to consider.  The position of the microphone has to be like  

  • 00:03:08 this. Okay. This is the side that cardioid mode  will work best. You see the cardioid mode gets  

  • 00:03:19 voice from the front and this is the front side of  the microphone. Okay, if you turn it upside down,  

  • 00:03:27 then your sound will be much worse. Let  me do that. Okay, before doing that,  

  • 00:03:32 let's make a test first. Okay, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,  6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Now I will reverse the microphone.  

  • 00:03:43 Okay, the microphone is now positioned like  this to me. Let's do another test. 1, 2, 3,  

  • 00:03:50 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Okay, now the microphone  is positioned like this and I have turned off  

  • 00:04:00 the room echo removal and the noise removal. So  let's do a test. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.  

  • 00:04:10 Okay, now we are at the bi-directional mode and we  have enabled the room echo removal and the noise  

  • 00:04:15 removal. Let's do a test. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,  9, 10. Okay, now I have turned off the room echo  

  • 00:04:24 removal and the noise removal. Let's do another  test. We are still in the bi-directional mode. 1,  

  • 00:04:30 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Okay, we are back  to our best settings. So our best settings are  

  • 00:04:38 cardioid mode and room echo removal and  noise removal are enabled. So how do you  

  • 00:04:44 install NVIDIA Broadcast? Just type to Google  NVIDIA Broadcast like this and there is download  

  • 00:04:54 link as you can see here. You can download it  and after you have opened it, just like this,  

  • 00:05:02 set your microphone here and enable them. And  don't forget to set your output to microphone  

  • 00:05:11 NVIDIA Broadcast from properties of OBS Studio.  And for one final test, I will turn off the  

  • 00:05:21 NVIDIA Broadcast and enable the noise filter  of the OBS Studio. And so you can compare it.  

  • 00:05:28 Okay, now the room echo removal and noise removal  of the NVIDIA Broadcast is disabled. However,  

  • 00:05:35 as can be seen in this image, noise suppression of  the OBS Studio is enabled. And let's do a test. 1,  

  • 00:05:44 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Alright, I hope  you have enjoyed our video. Please subscribe
