Apogee-HypeMiC
Hear the Difference
We recorded the same vocal performance with two HypeMiCs, one with compression, one without, so you can hear the amazing difference HypeMiC’s built in analog compressor makes in a mix. All instruments and vocals in this example were recorded with HypeMiC.

Raise Your Voice with HypeMiC?
Singing
HypeMiC’s unique analog compression enhances vocals like no other microphone. The three compression settings available in HypeMiC give you a truly balanced and “mixed” recording, reducing the need for extensive processing and mixing. Capturing your perfect take has never been easier.
Instruments
HypeMiC brings a new level of smoothness and warmth to acoustic instrument recording. Varying compression levels allow you to capture the fullest tone of your instrument without compromise. Built for high SPL levels, HypeMiC provides greater clarity and detail when recording loud acoustic instruments from drums to horns to choirs.
Voice & Streaming
Podcasts, Voiceovers, Interviews, YouTube performances, Live streaming & Conference calls
Ideal for live streaming, podcasts and broadcasts, HypeMiC balances audio dynamics for greater clarity resulting in better ‘broadcast ready’ recordings. HypeMiC is compatible with any Mac/PC and iOS app that allows you to select an audio device so you’re never without a pro studio when you are on the go.
Speciality Recording
HypeMiC analog output
HypeMiC is an awesome way to introduce new sounds into your recordings and mixes. You can send audio out of the HypeMiC stereo output into a mixer, audio interface and stand-alone recorder to capture the unique and bold sound of HypeMiC’s compression settings.
