Endorfy are one of my favourite PC peripheral brands, having a range of keyboards, mice, and audio gear that continues to impress, and I’ve even used a few of their products at home over the last few years, which is saying something, given that I’ve usually got a wider choice of products than your typical consumer. While we’ve some other exciting products in the office from Endorfy, today is the launch of their new microphones, with the flagship model being the new Endorfy Solum 2 Pro! Technically known as their EY1B019, which is a feature rich USB microphone for those who want to best sounding Zoom meetings, to make clear and to the point insults to their gaming team mates, or to be heard when streaming to the masses.
Equipped with an integrated volume and gain knob for on the fly controls, a simple tap to mute button for when you need to say something with discretion, what they’re calling their “next-gen gasket shock mount” which should reduce unwanted thumping and tapping noises while it’s sat on your desk, a durable metal construction, a cardioid polar pattern that’s perfect for desktop use, and built-in headphone jack for direct monitoring of your levels. It really is ticking all the right boxes here, and they’ve even slapped some RGB lighting on it for good measure.

What Endorfy Had to Say
“The Solum 2 Pro opens a new chapter in the history of ENDORFY microphones. Designed from the ground up in collaboration with a German design studio, it combines a cardioid polar pattern with the plug-and-play simplicity typical of USB microphones. The high-end condenser capsule records in studio-quality 24-bit / 192kHz, preserving the natural sound of your voice along with every detail. The metal housing, seated on a heavy base with a cable channel, stays firmly in place on your desk no matter how fast-paced your workflow gets. At the same time, the Solum 2 Pro keeps control simple and intuitive — the multifunction knob at the base adjusts sensitivity and volume, while the backlight color shows you which function is currently selected.” – Endorfy
