SINCE LAUNCHING its first microphone in 2019, HyperX has produced a model to suit almost every type of content creator. This time around, the company is aiming for pro-level users with its first XLR microphone, the HyperX ProCast. What sets the HyperX ProCast apart is what’s inside. It’s got a gold-plated large diaphragm condenser capsule, which you’ll find in many XLR mics used by professional musicians and podcasters. The result is deeper, richer vocals than you’d get out of your standard USB microphone.
Of course, nearly $250 is a lot of money to spend on a microphone, but when compared with other large diaphragm condenser microphones that aren’t marketed to streamers, it starts to look like a more competitive price point. Bear in mind that the Elgato Wave DX currently retails for $100, although we haven’t used it here on Maximum PC yet.
