Overview
A - Condenser capsule
B - Shock mount
C - 3-pin XLR output connector
D - Stand mount with tilt adjustment
Polar Pattern
The HyperX ProCast has a cardioid pickup pattern, with the area directly in-front of
the microphone element being the most sensitive to sound. This is useful for
reducing the pickup of background or other unwanted sounds as well as
controlling feedback when monitoring with speakers.
Mounting and Positioning
1. Screw the microphone's adjustable mount onto a stand or arm with a 3/8" or
5/8" thread. 2. If recording vocals, use of the included pop lter is recommended.
Snap the pop lter to the front of the shock mount to attach it to the microphone.
Position the microphone so that its front, indicated by the HyperX logo, faces the
sound source to be recorded.
Connecting to Audio Equipment
Please ensure that phantom power is powered o before connecting or
disconnecting the microphone.
1. Use an XLR cable to connect the microphone's output to a balanced XLR input
with phantom power.
2. Switch the XLR input's phantom power on.
Phantom power is required for the HyperX ProCast to function. This can be
provided by the audio input device or a separate in-line power supply.
Switches
10dB PAD
0dB
-10dB
Switching on the -10dB PAD (passive attenuation device) will increase the
microphone's headroom by 10dB by reducing the signal level of the microphone
before it reaches the microphone's electronics. This allows for recording louder
sound sources without overloading the microphone's electronics and causing
distortion.
80HZ HIGH PASS FILTER
80Hz high-pass lter on
80Hz high-pass lter o
Switching on the 80Hz high-pass lter will lter out rumble or other unwanted
low frequencies from the microphone's output. The lter will reduce the output
level by 3dB at 80Hz and roll-o at a rate of 12dB per octave.
Storage
When not in use, it is recommended that the microphone be stored in a dry
environment and covered with a plastic bag to prevent dust or other particles
