Built for those who make a living with their voice, the ProCast Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone from HyperX is a stylish, cardioid condenser mic with an all-analog XLR output and enough versatility to tackle most voice-oriented recording scenarios. The mic captures all the nuances and details of your voice with a quality, gold-sputtered diaphragm and a convenient built-in anti-vibration elastic shockmount for clean, quiet recordings free of rumble or handling noises.
The ProCast is equipped with an 80 Hz high-pass filter for further reducing unwanted low-frequency rumbles and a -10 dB pad for handling extra loud sound sources. Further enhancing its flexibility, the mic also includes a detachable metal pop filter for reducing undesirable plosives and sibilance, and a mic stand adapter to ensure the ProCast can reliably mount to most stands and boom arms, whether they be 3/8 or 5/8" threads.
Large Diaphragm for a Big Sound
ProCast's design enables better high-frequency details compared to electret and dynamic mics and improved low-frequency performance over smaller diaphragm condensers. The cardioid polar pattern emphasizes sounds in front of the mic, making it perfect for voiceovers, streaming, vocals, podcasts, or other single-source audio recording. The ProCast requires 48V of phantom power, so connect it via XLR cable to interfaces or preamps to start your recording.
Fine-Tune Your Recordings
The ProCast's switchable 80 Hz filter helps reduce unwanted low-end frequencies like rumbles and vibrations. The passive attenuation of the -10 dB pad switch allows the mic to handle high sound pressure level sources of audio.
Accessories for Any Situation
Isolate the mic and suppress the sound of unintentional rumbles and bumps with the elastic rope suspension. The included metal pop filter screen protects your mic from moisture and unwanted vocal sounds. Simply snap the HyperX Shield to the ProCast's included anti-shock mount to filter out those plosive puffs of air that result from "p" sounds. The versatile mic and adapter fit 3/8 and 5/8" threaded setups, so it's compatible with most mic stands or boom arms.
