Whether you're a streamer broadcasting your games on Twitch or a podcaster with a growing audience, the JBL Quantum Stream Talk will make sure your voice gets heard. The super-cardioid pickup pattern of this sleek, functional design makes it perfect for a single voice, ensuring that any random noises elsewhere in the room won't get heard. A built-in shock absorber in the sturdy microphone stand also helps make sure your streams and recordings are as noise-free as possible. Monitor the audio stream in your headphones via the 3.5mm connection and the multi-function control knob, which also adjusts the mic's gain and loudness and quickly mutes you if a cough or sneeze creeps up on you. Use the included JBL QuantumENGINE PC software to adjust EQ, apply noise reduction, and perform a quick mic test, all from your computer screen.
