HyperX Procast vs HyperX Quadcast S microphone comparison
83Here I'm comparing the HyperX Procast and the HyperX Quadcast S.
The HyperX ProCast is a broadcast quality condenser microphone with highlights that include a pop filter, shock mount and great style. It looks a lot like the original Quadcast and that's no bad thing as it's got a great aesthetic and good features too.
However it is an XLR mic so you will need a mixer or pre amp setup, you also need a boom arm and XLR cable. Naturally the sound you get out of it will vary depending on the environment you're in but also the settings you're using on your pre-amp. You might need to tweak the noise gate, compressor and other settings to get it sounding good. Though I found it mostly seems to block out sound and keep things quiet.
