The JBL Quantum Stream Talk is a compact streaming microphone. The box contains a microphone that is attached to a table stand and a USB cable. I connect the microphone to my laptop or PC via the USB cable.
Design
This is a compact streaming microphone with a sturdy base. This ensures that the Stream Talk stands firmly on the desk. I mute myself quickly with the mute button on the foot, so I mute myself with the push of a button. I cannot unscrew the Stream Talk and it cannot be used with a microphone arm. The USB C and 3.5 millimeter headphone output are located at the back of the base. This is especially useful when I place the microphone a little further away from me. If I move the microphone closer to myself, the cables are very present.
Recordings
The Stream Talk records sound from the front and has a supercardioid recording pattern. This ensures that everything is recorded clearly and well during my streams. For example, you hear clicking sounds during the recording if I sit directly in front of the microphone with the controller. You hear this very softly, but it is noticeable. Also because the microphone is always on my desk, I hear unwanted sound in my recording if, for example, I put something on my desk.
JBL Quantum Engine
The JBL Quantum Stream Studio gives me access to the JBL QuantumEngine software. With this software I personalize the recording sound of my streaming microphone. For example, I use the equalizer to perfect the recording sound. There is no noise reduction option with this microphone, which I think is a shame. The software is clear, making it easy to use this software.
