It works best in fully shaded areas, and its direct LED backlight ensures that it stays bright enough for you to enjoy your favorite movie or show.

2.c. The color of light striking an object affects how our eyes see it.||CA Science||Grade 3||01. Physical Sciences||2. Light has a source and travels in a direction.|||3.a. Energy can be carried from one place to another by heat flow, or by waves including water waves, light and sound, or by moving objects.||CA Science||Grade 6||03. Heat (Thermal Energy) (Physical Science)||3. Heat moves in a predictable flow from warmer objects to cooler objects until all objects are at the same temperature.|||6.a. Visible light is a small band within a very broad electromagnetic spectrum.||CA Science||Grade 7||06. Physical Science: Physical Principles in Living Systems||6. Physical principles underlie biological structures and functions.|||4.e. Radio waves, light and X-rays are different wavelength bands in the spectrum of electromagnetic waves whose speed in vacuum is approximately 3×108 m/s (186,000 miles/second).||Grade 9-12||01. Physics||4. Waves||4. Waves have characteristic properties that do not depend on the type of wave.

Idea Sheets are cross-referenced to subjects listed in the Common Core, Next Generation Science Standards, and California Content Standards.

You can customize the QuadCast S’s RGB lighting from the Windows Ngenuity software, whereas the Quadcast features a static red backlight emanating from the mic’s grill, as well as red threading through the included shock mount.
