What pickup pattern does the ASUS ROG Carnyx use?

The ROG Carnyx uses a unidirectional cardioid pickup pattern. This focuses capture toward the speaker and helps reduce sound arriving from behind the microphone.

Does the ASUS ROG Carnyx use USB or XLR?

The Carnyx is a USB streaming microphone rather than an XLR microphone. That lets it connect directly to a computer for broadcasts and recordings without a separate audio interface.

What recording resolution does the ASUS ROG Carnyx support?

The microphone supports 24-bit audio at up to 192 kHz and uses a 25 mm condenser capsule. ASUS announced the ROG Carnyx in 2024. [ASUS announcement](https://rog.asus.com/sg/articles/gaming/asus-republic-of-gamers-announces-rog-carnyx/)

How does the ROG Carnyx compare with the Blue Yeti X?

ASUS lists the ROG Carnyx at 192 kHz and 24-bit, while the Blue Yeti X is listed at 48 kHz and 24-bit. The specification difference concerns maximum capture resolution, not a guarantee that every recording will sound better. [ASUS microphone FAQ](https://www.asus.com/global/support/faq/1053656/)
