使用Trust GXT 256 Exxo USB流媒体麦克风
Trust GXT 256 Exxo是一种即插即用(Exxo)设备，无需安装任何特殊软件或驱动程序(software or drivers)。Windows 10 会立即检测到它，如果您将耳机连接到它以进行麦克风监控(microphone monitoring)和其他用途，它允许您将其用作录音和播放设备。(recording and playback device)正如您在下面看到的，Windows 10 在从软件角度(software perspective)配置的高级设置方面提供的很少。
Trust GXT 256 Exxo的配置是使用其按钮完成的。您可以设置麦克风是否静音、增益级别(gain level)和耳机音量。也可以按下增益(Gain)按钮在可用颜色之间循环：红色、蓝色、绿色、紫色和黄色。还有一种“RGB 循环”("RGB cycle")模式，可在五种可用颜色之间缓慢切换。这不是真正的RGB 设备(RGB device)。为此，我们需要软件来个性化照明，以及可以以任何颜色点亮的LED 。(LEDs)
我们使用Trust GXT 256 Exxo录制了一些类似播客的材料，并在评论我们的游戏体验的同时录制了我们的游戏玩法。我们很高兴背景噪音消除(background noise cancellation)效果很好。但是，在其他麦克风上，结果稍好一些。例如，在玩游戏时，我们确实听到了我们在机械键盘上按下的按键，以及我们有意将空气净化器打开到最大级别的一些背景噪音。(background noise)
我们注意到的另一个方面是发送到监听端口(monitoring port)的声音不是立体声，而是单声道。对于想要流式传输他们的游戏玩法，同时又能很好地听到游戏中声音的游戏玩家来说，这并不令人愉快。如果您想通过画外音制作游戏或视频录制的实时流，最好将耳机直接连接到 PC 的声卡，而不是连接到(gameplay or video recordings)Trust GXT 256 Exxo。除此之外，我们对这款麦克风的工作方式和录音质量感到满意。

Design and hardware specifications
Trust GXT 256 Exxo is a microphone designed mostly for streamers. Because of that, it features only a cardioid pick-up or polar pattern suitable for podcasts, streaming, vlogs, voice-overs, and acoustic instruments. It does not feature omnidirectional or bidirectional pick-up patterns, as multipurpose microphones do. Trust GXT 256 Exxo has a sampling rate of 48 kHz/16-bit, a frequency response rate between 30 Hz and 18 kHz, a sensitivity of 130 dB, an impedance of 32 Ohm, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 86 dB.
Trust GXT 256 Exxo has a shock mount that reduces vibrations, a pop filter that removes plosives and fricatives (unwanted sounds from letters like P and F), and noise reduction technologies. The microphone gets mounted onto a metal desk stand, and its angle can be adjusted easily. You can also attach the microphone to any compatible microphone arm using the universal 5/8'' screw mount.
Trust GXT 256 Exxo also features an RGB cycle light that may be attractive to gamers. As for size, the microphone itself, without the stand and the shock mount, has 7.3 x 2.2 x 2 inches or 187 x 56 x 51 mm in size. It also weighs 0.8 lb or 398 grams. When you mount the microphone using all its accessories and its metal stand, the total weight is 3.87 pounds or 1.7 kg.
The Trust GXT 256 Exxo USB microphone works with Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Mac OS 10.5 or higher, ChromeOS, and with the Playstation 4 console.

Using the Trust GXT 256 Exxo USB streaming microphone
The Trust GXT 256 Exxo is a plug-and-play device that does not require any special software or drivers to install. Windows 10 detects it immediately, and it allows you to use it both as a recording and playback device, if you connect a headset to it for microphone monitoring and other purposes. As you can see below, Windows 10 offers little in terms of advanced settings to configure from a software perspective.
The configuration of the Trust GXT 256 Exxo is done using its buttons. You set whether the microphone is muted or not, the gain level, and the headphones volume. The Gain button can also be pressed to cycle between the available colors: red, blue, green, purple, and yellow. There is also an "RGB cycle" mode that slowly switches through the five available colors. This is not a true RGB device. For that, we would have needed software to personalize the lighting, as well as LEDs that can light up in any color.
We used the Trust GXT 256 Exxo to record some podcast-like material and for recording our gameplay while commenting on our gaming experience. We enjoyed the fact that the background noise cancellation did its job well. However, on other microphones, the results were slightly better. For example, when gaming, we did hear the keys that we pressed on our mechanical keyboard, as well as a bit of background noise from the air purifier that we intentionally turned on to its maximum level.
Another aspect that we noticed is that the sound sent to the monitoring port is not stereo but mono. This isn't pleasant for gamers who want to stream their gameplay, while also hearing in-game sounds well. If you want to make live streams of your gameplay or video recordings with voice-overs, it is better that you connect your headset directly to the sound card of your PC, not to the Trust GXT 256 Exxo. Other than that, we were satisfied by how this microphone worked and the quality of our audio recordings.
