Compared to standard microphones, the Carnyx's larger 1" condenser capsule improves low-frequency performance and delivers rich, natural, and warm vocal tones.

Lossless audio processing supports a high 192 kHz / 24-bit sampling rate to ensure high-fidelity sound reproduction that reflects every nuance of your voice.

The cardioid polar pattern emphasizes sounds from the front and minimizes sound pickup from the sides and rear, making the Carnyx perfect for solo streams, gamers, and podcasters.

The integrated filter cuts out unwanted low-frequency background noises below 80 Hz like rumbles or hums, this prevents your voice from sounding muddied and helps it stand out.

Built-in pop filter

• The pop filter is made of foam and mesh layers to prevent plosive sounds when the mic is used up close.

Metal shockmount

• The sturdy all-metal shockmount includes elastic suspension cables that isolate the mic from external vibrations like keystrokes or mouse clicks that often travel through the table.

A quick touch of the mute button cuts off the microphone during recording. The touch button works silently, so no sound is picked up by the mic for uninterrupted recording. Plus, an LED indicator lets you know when it's activated. Additionally, touching and holding the button for 2 seconds also turns the RGB lighting on and off.

A 3.5mm headset jack allows you to monitor audio in real-time.

Use the intuitive control knob to adjust microphone volume, and the multimedia audio volume for monitoring headsets, or to turn on/off the high-pass filter function.

Personalize your setup and choose from six preset lighting effects via Armoury Crate. You can even synchronize effects with other Aura Sync-enabled products for a unified look.

Plug the ROG Carnyx into any computer or laptop via its bundled USB cable and begin recording or streaming audio. The built-in mount adaptor fits 3/8" threads to ensure compatibility with most mic stands or boom arms.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does it have a tripod mount?

A: Yes it does. You have to pull off with some courage the plastic clip, and what remains is a 1/4 in standard tripod mount hole. I use an OLED TV as screen and have the camera on a mini tripod in front of it, as the screen is too tall for the clip

Q: 6. Does this camera have an audio input?

A: This webcam, won't come with an audio input port. But it has omni-directional microphones with noise cancellation for great audio conference quality.

Q: 7. How is the white balance of the camera? In other words, does it have a color cast such as red, green, blue or yellow? My computer, which is an iMac and only a year old, has a red cast. A real drop in quality from the same computer I purchased in 2010. I purchased a webcam recently that has a green cast. Thank you.

A: The Logitech BRIO Ultra HD Pro Webcam BH #LOBRIOWC90F does not have that specification outlined but it will automatically adjust it based on the environment lighting you are in. It should not have any type of color cast unless the environment lighting isn't very good or it throws off the sensor. My best advice is to download the logitech software where you will be able to adjust that manually if need be and to also invest in some good lighting for the space you are in.

Q: 8. Can you narrow the field of view of this camera? If so, how?

A: Yes, you can. Download both Logi Tune and Logitech Capture software which enables you to customize settings for your BRIO. Here is the link for both downloads: https://prosupport.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039591834-Downloads-BRIO.

Q: 9. Does this have VESA mount?

A: The ASUS VG289Q1A 28" 16:9 4K IPS TUF Gaming Monitor has a 100mm x 100mm VESA pattern.

Q: 10. What type of tripod head should I purchase to use this like a SLR for filming live stream demonstrations? I'd like to be able to tilt and pan the webcam during live stream. Thanks!

A: The Brio has a threaded insert that allows you to mount it on any tripod camera screw. I have a 30 year old Bogen 3001 with a 3126 fluid motion mount I've used for video recording, a dynex dx-sw404 monopod, and a manfrotto mtpixi-rd. All of them will accept the Brio. The Manfrotto 128RC QR Micro Fluid Head is very much like mine and should fit the bill. B&H does sell it by the way.
