The NZXT Capsule microphone was launched in 2021 and is a decent mid-tier wired USB microphone. Its selling point has been the "plug-and-play" feature--meaning you don't need to download any software to use the mic, and it's fairly straightforward to get it set up. Now NZXT is launching a smaller version of the NZXT Capsule, aptly called the Capsule Mini.

The Capsule Mini features 24-bit resolution and a single cardioid polar pattern. This means the microphone picks up what's closest to it and reduces background sounds, making it a good mic for streaming or podcasting. The Capsule Mini is $70 (standard Capsule is $130).

The Mini also has a slightly lower resolution than the standard Capsule (24-bit/48kHz versus 24-bit/96kHz) and also needs the software NZXT Cam, which comes free with the mic, to control settings. The microphone release for the Mini is also a screw, instead of the Capsule's push-release.

NZXT will also offer the Boom Arm Mini ($70), a small boom arm--and like the Capsule Mini, it is meant for those who want to save some desk space.

Capsule Mini Specs

  • Polar Pattern: Cardioid
  • Resolution: 24-bit/48kHz
  • Frequency Response: 100hz - 10kHz
  • THD: 0.23% @ 1kHz
  • Dimensions: 3.9" x 7.3" x 3.9"
  • Weight: 1.2lb
