Expert Features

• Professional Large-Diaphragm Condenser : The HyperX ProCast uses a gold-sputtered, externally polarized 1-inch condenser capsule engineered to capture detailed vocals, instruments, podcasts, streams, and professional voice recordings.
• Focused Cardioid Pickup : Its cardioid polar pattern prioritizes sound arriving from the front while reducing unwanted pickup from behind the microphone—exactly what you want when the keyboard, PC, or room noise needs to stay out of the spotlight.
• True Balanced XLR Connection : The ProCast connects through a balanced 3-pin XLR male output, making it suitable for proper audio-interface, mixer, and preamp workflows rather than USB plug-and-play setups.
• 48V Phantom Power Required : As a professional condenser microphone, it requires 48V DC phantom power at approximately 3mA, so your audio interface or mixer must be able to supply phantom power.
• 60dB+ Interface Gain Recommended : HyperX recommends pairing the ProCast with an audio interface providing at least 60dB of gain, helping achieve a healthy recording level without forcing a weak preamp to its limit.
• 20Hz–20kHz Frequency Response : The full 20Hz to 20kHz response range captures deep vocal body, detailed mids, and crisp high-frequency information across recording and content-creation workloads.
• Handles Up to 140dB SPL : A maximum input level of 140dB SPL at 1% THD / 1kHz gives the microphone enough headroom for loud vocalists and high-volume sound sources.
• Switchable -10dB PAD : Engage the built-in -10dB attenuation pad when recording louder sources to reduce the signal before it reaches the microphone electronics and help prevent overload.
• 80Hz High-Pass Filter : The switchable 80Hz high-pass filter helps cut low-frequency rumble, desk vibration, and other unwanted bass energy before it reaches your recording chain.
• Integrated Anti-Vibration Shock Mount : The built-in shock mount mechanically isolates the microphone to help reduce vibration and handling noise transmitted through the mounting system.
• HyperX Shield Metal Pop Filter : The included detachable snap-on metal pop filter helps control plosive bursts from sounds like “P” and “B” while keeping the front of the microphone looking properly studio-grade.
• 3/8″ + 5/8″ Mount Compatibility : Support for 3/8-inch and 5/8-inch threads makes the ProCast compatible with a broad range of microphone arms and stands.
• Serious Recording Specifications : The microphone delivers 123dB dynamic range, 75dB signal-to-noise ratio, 13.8dB(A) self-noise, and -38 ±3dBV sensitivity, putting the spec sheet firmly in professional condenser territory.
• Know What You Still Need : An audio interface/preamp, XLR cable, and boom arm or microphone stand are not included, so budget for the complete signal chain rather than discovering that little surprise after checkout.
