NZXT Capsule Elite Microphone Review

The NZXT Capsule Elite Microphone is here at last, and given how much I loved the previous NZXT microphones, I have pretty high expectations of this new one. It’s hitting the market as a premium microphone designed for streamers, gamers, and content creators, but at the same time, keeping a competitive price point for consumers. You don’t need to invest a small fortune in pro gear anymore, especially when the Capsule Elite comes equipped with a 24-bit depth and 192 kHz sample rate. This should allow the Capsule Elite to capture every detail in stunning clarity.
NZXT Capsule Elite Microphone
Equipped with a large 25mm capsule microphone, the Capsule Elite excels at capturing low frequencies, adding warmth and depth to your voice, which should make it sound more natural while you are gaming, streaming, recovering voice over and more. The cardioid polar pattern ensures that your voice is the focus, minimising distracting background noise from keyboards, fans, or other unwanted sounds. This focused recording is perfect for creating professional-sounding content without the need for complex audio setups or further post-production editing. Also, the last generation of NZXT microphones are our microphones of choice in the eTeknix office for our daily work and team calls!
Beyond its impressive core features, the Capsule Elite offers extensive customisation options through the NZXT CAM software. Fine-tune your sound with adjustable EQ settings, noise suppression, and mic monitoring, all powered by DTS. The heavy-duty construction, featuring a metal stand, steel grille, and aluminium knobs, guarantees long-lasting durability and a premium feel. With its combination of pristine audio quality, stylish design, and user-friendly features, the NZXT Capsule Elite is the perfect microphone to elevate your streaming and content creation to the next level.
