FAQs

Do I need any software to use the XSTRM microphone?

No, the Endgame Gear XSTRM USB Microphone is plug-and-play and does not require any specific software for basic operation on Windows and macOS.

How does the AI Noise Cancellation work?

The AI Noise Cancellation uses advanced algorithms to detect and suppress common background noises like keyboard typing, fan noise, or ambient chatter, allowing your voice to be heard more clearly.

What is the purpose of the LED gain indicator?

The LED gain indicator helps you monitor the microphone's input level. It typically turns yellow or red when the audio signal is too high and risks clipping or distortion, allowing you to adjust your speaking volume or mic gain accordingly.

Can I use the XSTRM microphone with a smartphone?

Direct connection to most smartphones is not supported via USB-C without an appropriate adapter (like a USB OTG adapter) and potentially a powered USB hub. Compatibility may vary by device.

How do I mute the microphone?

You can mute and unmute the microphone with a simple tap on the top of the microphone unit.

What is the difference between the shock mount and the pop filter?

The shock mount isolates the microphone from vibrations transmitted through your desk or stand, reducing low-frequency rumbles. The pop filter is placed in front of the microphone to diffuse bursts of air from plosive sounds (like 'P' and 'B'), preventing them from creating loud popping noises.

What is the power consumption of the microphone?

The microphone consumes approximately 250 mA of power from the USB connection.

Can I change the RGB lighting modes?

Yes, the microphone features multiple RGB lighting modes. While specific controls for mode switching might be integrated into the touch controls or require a future software update, the lighting is designed to be customizable.

Troubleshooting

Microphone not detected by computer

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the microphone and the computer. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer. Verify that the correct audio input device is selected in your operating system's sound settings.

No sound or very low audio output

Check that the microphone is not muted (tap the top). Increase the gain using the LED indicator and adjusting your voice level. Ensure the microphone is selected as the default recording device in your system's audio settings. Test the direct monitoring via the headphone jack to confirm the microphone is capturing sound.

Distorted or clipping audio

The microphone's gain is likely set too high. Adjust the gain control so the LED indicator does not consistently show red (indicating clipping). Speak at a more moderate volume. Ensure you are not too close to the microphone.

Background noise is still audible

While AI noise cancellation is effective, extremely loud environments may still have some noise bleed. Try to reduce ambient noise sources if possible. Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly and the pop filter is in place.

RGB lighting not working

Ensure the USB cable is properly connected, as the lighting is powered via USB. Restart the microphone by unplugging and replugging the USB cable. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent audio quality with high sample and bit rates.
  • Effective AI noise cancellation for clear voice capture.
  • Includes essential accessories like a shock mount and pop filter.
  • Stylish and unique design with customizable RGB lighting.
  • Easy plug-and-play USB-C connectivity.

Cons

  • The unique triangular design might not suit all aesthetic preferences.
  • High sensitivity may require careful gain adjustment in very quiet environments.

  • AI noise cancellation, while good, might not eliminate all unwanted sounds in extremely noisy settings.
  • Requires a USB port for power, limiting use with devices without USB-A/C.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The XSTRM microphone is designed for plug-and-play simplicity. Connect the included USB-C cable to the microphone and then to an available USB port on your Windows or macOS computer. The microphone should be automatically recognized. For optimal positioning, use the included shock mount and tripod, or mount it on a microphone arm using the standard 3/8 inch thread.

Compatibility: This microphone is compatible with Windows and macOS operating systems. It draws power via USB, requiring a standard USB-A or USB-C port (adapter may be needed depending on your device). It can be connected to PCs, laptops, and some gaming consoles that support USB microphones.

Care: To maintain performance and appearance:

  • Keep the microphone clean by wiping it gently with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ensure the shock mount's rubber bands are not stretched or damaged.
  • Store the microphone and accessories in a safe place, ideally in its original packaging with sound-absorbing foam, when not in use to prevent dust buildup and damage.
  • Periodically check the USB-C cable for any signs of wear or damage.
