FAQs

Does the microphone require any software to run?

No, the Endgame Gear XSTRM is a plug-and-play device and does not require dedicated software for basic operation on Windows and macOS. Some advanced features might be controllable through specific streaming or recording software.

How does the LED gain indicator work?

The integrated LED on the microphone illuminates to indicate your audio input level. It turns red when the signal is too high (over-modulated or clipping), prompting you to reduce the gain or your speaking volume.

Can I use the microphone with a smartphone?

While the microphone uses USB-C, direct compatibility with smartphones can vary. It's primarily designed for PCs and Macs. An adapter might be needed, and functionality is not guaranteed.

What is the purpose of the shock mount?

The shock mount isolates the microphone from vibrations transmitted through your desk or stand. This prevents low-frequency noises like thuds or bumps from being picked up and disrupting your audio.

Is the pop filter magnetic?

Yes, the included pop filter attaches magnetically to the microphone, making it easy to install and remove for cleaning or adjustments.

What are the included accessories?

The microphone comes with a metal stand, a shock mount, and a magnetic pop filter.

What is the microphone's polar pattern?

The XSTRM features a cardioid polar pattern, which is ideal for isolating a sound source in front of the microphone while rejecting sounds from the sides and rear.

Troubleshooting

Microphone not detected by the computer

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the microphone and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. Restart your computer.

No sound or very low volume

Check that the microphone is selected as the default input device in your operating system's sound settings. Ensure the mute function is not active. Adjust the gain settings in your software or via the microphone's controls if applicable.

Audio is distorted or clipping

Lower the microphone's gain level. Ensure you are not speaking too close or too loudly directly into the microphone, as indicated by the LED gain indicator.

Background noise is still present

Verify that AI noise cancellation is enabled in your software if applicable, or ensure the microphone is positioned correctly to capture your voice directly. Reduce ambient noise sources in your room.

RGB lighting not working

Check the USB connection. If the issue persists, consult the manual for any specific software controls for the lighting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers professional, studio-grade audio quality.
  • AI noise cancellation significantly improves clarity.
  • All necessary accessories (shock mount, pop filter, stand) are included.
  • Intuitive plug-and-play setup via USB-C.
  • Stylish design with customizable RGB lighting and gain indicator.
  • Zero-latency monitoring is convenient for real-time feedback.

Cons

  • The LED gain indicator requires user attention to prevent over-modulation.
  • Requires a stable desk surface or tripod for optimal positioning.
  • Can be sensitive to nearby loud noises if gain is set too high.
  • The 2m cable length may be limiting for some desk setups.
  • The signal-to-noise ratio (57 dB) is good but not class-leading for extreme quiet environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the microphone to your computer using the provided USB-C cable.
  2. Place the microphone on its included stand or mount it to a tripod using the 3/8 inch thread.
  3. Plug your headphones into the 3.5mm jack on the microphone for monitoring.
  4. Your operating system (Windows or macOS) should automatically recognize the microphone as an audio input device.

Compatibility:

The XSTRM USB Microphone is compatible with Windows and macOS operating systems via its USB interface. It functions as a standard USB audio device.

Care:

  • Keep the microphone clean by wiping it gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Ensure the shock mount's rubber bands are intact and properly positioned.
  • Store the microphone and accessories in a safe place when not in use to prevent damage.
