HyperX ProCast Cardioid Large-Diaphragm XLR Condenser Microphone Black (699Z0AA)

An XLR Condenser Microphone for a Deliberate Voice-Recording Setup

The HyperX ProCast is a black large-diaphragm condenser microphone for a single voice, spoken recording or a carefully planned streaming desk. Its gold-sputtered condenser capsule and cardioid pattern suit a speaker positioned in front, with an included shock mount and detachable HyperX Shield metal pop filter to support the recording arrangement.

This exact 699Z0AA model uses a balanced XLR connection and requires 48 V phantom power. It is not a direct USB microphone: an appropriate interface or preamp, XLR cable and stand or boom arm must be arranged separately, and room treatment and recording technique still affect the result.

Best For: Voice-over recording, Solo podcasts, Vocal sessions, XLR streaming desks, Home recording spaces, Interface-based recording

DETAIL SPECIFICATION

TECHNICAL FEATURES

A front-focused recording arrangement

Cardioid pickup favours sound in front of the microphone. Position the speaker and microphone carefully rather than expecting equally balanced pickup from a group around the desk.

An analog XLR recording path

The balanced XLR connection feeds suitable recording equipment. Confirm 48 V phantom power, connection requirements and gain capability before purchase; a simple USB cable is not an alternative connection for this model.

Filtering and attenuation on the microphone

An 80 Hz high-pass filter offers a way to reduce low-frequency content, while the -10 dB PAD provides attenuation for an appropriate louder source. Choose settings after checking the actual recording level and sound.

Included pop and vibration support

The shock mount and detachable metal pop filter are included parts of this setup. They assist with practical microphone use but do not eliminate every desk vibration, plosive or room reflection.

A large-diaphragm XLR condenser microphone for a planned single-source recording setup.

Installation / Requirements:

✅ Suitable For

• Voice-over users with an audio interface
  A planned phantom-powered XLR path suits a dedicated spoken-recording workflow. Check equipment compatibility and recording levels before a session.

  The cardioid pattern supports one speaking position, while a multi-person recording arrangement may need additional microphones and inputs.
