Designed for streamers and content creators, the ATH-M50xSTS StreamSet™ is the world’s first professional streaming headset that combines the legendary studio sound of the ATH-M50x headphones with the clarity of the iconic 20 Series microphones. Equipped with a cardioid condenser microphone, and two distinct earpad styles that you can use according to your preference, this headset delivers the ultimate studio-quality sound for you and your streaming audience. Designed from the critically acclaimed ATH-M50x, the ATH-M50xSTS StreamSet is equipped with the same 45 mm large-aperture drivers with the addition of two sets of distinct interchangeable earpads– M50x earpads that stress audio quality and sound isolation and mesh and leatherette to emphasize breathability and comfort. Experience studio-quality articulation and intelligibility thanks to the StreamSet’s cardioid condenser microphone, adopted from the iconic 20 Series studio mics. The microphone’s design places it at the end of a flexible boom arm, keeping the mic in close proximity to your mouth, helping to reject background noise and deliver crystal-clear audio. The microphone can be easily muted quickly and efficiently simply by flipping the boom arm into the up position. The StreamSet is available in two configurations. The ATH-M50xSTS is outfitted with a 2 m (6.6') permanently attached cable with 3.5 mm (1/8") headphone input and XLR microphone output for connection to an audio interface or mixer. A 6.3 mm (1/4") snap-on adapter is also included for the headphone plug. For those looking for plug-and-play connectivity to PCs and Macs, the ATH-M50xSTS-USB is outfitted with a 2 m (6.6') permanently attached cable with USB-A connection. The StreamSet includes two sets of distinct earpads that you can use according to your preference: M50x earpads that stress audio quality/sound isolation and mesh/leatherette earpads that emphasize breathability and comfort. A Few Points to Consider XLR or USB? XLR microphones are analog devices that require an XLR cable(1) that feeds the analog signal to an audio interface(2). The interface then converts the analog signal to digital and feeds the audio to your PC (3) for recording. Within USB microphones, all of the analog to digital conversion takes place within the microphone – no audio interface required. The digital signal is then fed via USB connection (1) directly into your PC(2).
