This is not a HyperX Quadcast clone - it's an XLR mic (the HyperX Procast)
Here I am with another excellent microphone from HyperX. This is my thoughts on the HyperX ProCast along with a comparison with the Shure SM7B.
I am using the microphone throughout the video for the voice over and mostly using it with the Rodecaster Pro 2 but also later in the video I show just how easy it is to setup with the Elgato Wave XLR interface and Razer Audio Mixer.
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.
