HyperX ProCast Mounting and Mic Positioning

Cardioid polar pattern

The HyperX ProCast has a cardioid pickup pattern, with the area directly in-front of the microphone element being the most sensitive to sound. This is useful for reducing the pickup of background or other unwanted sounds as well as controlling feedback when monitoring with speakers. 

ProCast mounting and positioning

1. Screw the microphone's adjustable mount onto a stand or arm with a 3/8" or 5/8" thread.
2. If recording vocals, use of the included pop filter is recommended. Snap the pop filter to the front of the shock mount to attach it to the microphone. Position the microphone so that its front, indicated by the HyperX logo, faces the sound source to be recorded. 

HyperX Procast Overview

HyperX ProCast Storage

When not in use, it is recommended that the microphone be stored in a dry environment and covered with a plastic bag to prevent dust or other particles from reaching the capsule.

HyperX ProCast Switches

ProCast switches

-110 dB PAD

0dB         -10dB PAD off

-10dB     -10dB PAD on

 

Switching on the -10dB PAD (passive attenuation device) will increase the microphone's headroom by 10dB by reducing the signal level of the microphone before it reaches the microphone's electronics. This allows for recording louder sound sources without overloading the microphone's electronics and causing distortion.

80Hz HIGH-PASS FILTER

High pass filter on

80Hz high-pass filter on

High pass filter off

80Hz high-pass filter off

 

Switching on the 80Hz high-pass filter will filter out rumble or other unwanted low frequencies from the microphone's output. The filter will reduce the output level by 3dB at 80Hz and roll off at a rate of 12dB per octave.

HyperX ProCast Connecting Instructions

Please ensure that phantom power is powered off before connecting or disconnecting the microphone.

ProCast connecting with XLR cable

1. Use an XLR cable to connect the microphone's output to a balanced XLR input with phantom power.

ProCast connecting with XLR cable continued

2. Switch the XLR input's phantom power on. Phantom power is required for the HyperX ProCast to function. This can be provided by the audio input device or a separate in-line power supply.

If you are unsure how to toggle phantom power on your audio input device or in-line power supply, please consult their respective product manuals.

HyperX Procast Quick Start Guide

HyperX ProCast Audio Interface Recommendations

While you can use a wide number of audio interfaces with the ProCast, please confirm your intended audio interface meets the minimum operating specifications for intended mic functionality.

The audio interface will need to be capable of supplying +48V phantom power, and at least 60dB of what’s normally advertised / listed as “gain range." If you also see an advertised value for “dynamic range," normally also in dB units, this is not the specification you need to look at when verifying compatibility. 

 

While you can try using an audio interface with a lower gain range, you may encounter audio performance issues. 

Please also note that some in-line mic pre-amps which require +48V phantom power themselves do not pass phantom power along to the mic, and thus cannot be used with the ProCast.

Check your pre-amp's manual for clarification on if it also passes phantom power through to the microphone. 

What applications are known to conflict with NGENUITY?

NGenuity (discontinued/legacy software)

 

Gigabyte RGB Fusion 2.01

MSI Afterburner 2


1.After implementing code improvements, there's a small chance memory modules won't be detected with some system configurations. Peripherals will work as intended and with no conflict when running it alongside NGENUITY (May release and up).


2. The crashes are caused by RivaTuner Statistics Server, and NGENUITY isn't the only software affected. To stop the crashes, make sure to use the latest (to date) MSI Afterburner, version 4.6.4 Beta 2 Build 16079, which comes with the latest version of RTSS, ver v7.3.2. If you're still experiencing crashes, try opening RTSS and adding an individual Application Profile for NGENUITY, setting the On-Screen Display Support to OFF, Application Detection Level to None, then go into Setup and Reset Cache. This should stop RTSS from doing Direct3D injection with NGENUITY, and stop the crashes.

Does HyperX NGENUITY have minimum system requirements?

Yes. Minimum system requirements for HyperX NGENUITY is Microsoft Windows 10 Operating System version 1803 and above.

Where can I find the part number on my mouse?

First, take a look on the underside of the mouse, meaning the part that normally makes contact with / faces your desk. Normally, there is a sticker somewhere, which contains a part number and usually the product name next to it. 4Pxxxx is the most common structure but it may start with something else. Significantly older models may instead start with "KHX-" or "HX-" alongside a number starting with "3500xx".

If you see an indent in the mouse that looks like it was supposed to hold a sticker, but do not see the sticker, the sticker may have fallen off.

Mouse button doesn't register

1. Plug the mouse into different USB ports.

  1. Test the ports on the front and rear of the case

  2. Switch between USB 2 and USB 3 ports

  3. Remove any USB hubs if you are using them.

2. Perform a factory reset on the mouse. The onboard memory will be cleared and all settings will revert back to default.

  1. Hold the DPI + mouse wheel button down for 5 seconds until the LEDs flash

Maintaining the Monitor

Maintaining the monitor

Properly maintained, your monitor can run for many years. These instructions provide steps you can
perform to keep your monitor in the best condition.

Maintenance guidelines
Follow these instructions to enhance the performance and extend the life of the monitor.

  • Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact an authorized HP dealer, reseller, or service provider.

  • Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the label or back plate of the monitor.

  • Be sure that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the AC outlet and that the total ampere rating of the products connected to the cord does not exceed the rating of the cord. Look on the power label to determine the ampere rating (AMPS or A) for each device.

  • Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect the monitor by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect the monitor by pulling the cord.

  • Turn the monitor off when it is not in use and use a screen saver program. Doing this can substantially increase the life expectancy of the monitor.
    NOTE: A burned-in image on the monitor is not covered under the HP warranty.

  • Never block the slots and openings of the cabinet or push objects into them. These openings provide ventilation.

  • Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.

  • Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.

  • Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat, or moisture.

Cleaning the monitor
Use these instructions to clean your monitor when necessary.

  1. Turn off the monitor and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

  2. Disconnect any external devices.

  3. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean antistatic cloth.

  4. For more difficult cleaning situations, use a 50/50 mix of water and isopropyl alcohol.

IMPORTANT: Do not use cleaners that contain petroleum-based materials such as benzene, thinner, or any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals might damage the monitor.

IMPORTANT: Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the damp cloth to gently wipe the screen surface. Never spray the cleaner directly on the screen surface. It can run behind the bezel and damage the electronics. The cloth should be moist, but not wet. Water dripping into the ventilation openings or other points of entry can cause damage to the monitor. Allow the monitor to air-dry before use.

After you remove the dirt and debris, you can also clean the surfaces with a disinfectant. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends cleaning surfaces, followed by disinfection, as a best practice for preventing the spread of viral respiratory illnesses and harmful bacteria. A disinfectant that is within HP’s cleaning guidelines is an alcohol solution consisting of 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water. This solution is also known as rubbing alcohol and is sold in most stores.

Shipping the monitor
Keep the original packing box in a storage area. You might need it later if you ship the monitor or move.

What is the refresh rate?

Refresh rate refers to the capability of a monitor to show multiple frames per second. It is typically measured in Hz ("Hertz"), where a monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate refreshes the displayed image 60 times per second.

If the refresh rate of your monitor is less than the frame rate sustained by your GPU, you may experience image problems like tearing. While there are usually options available to limit the frame rate produced by your GPU, in doing so, you lose out on the previously mentioned benefits of a higher frame rate.

As such, many modern monitors now offer higher frame rates above the classic 60Hz. Some commonly supported higher refresh rates are 75Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz, 165Hz, 240Hz, and even as high as 360Hz. Moving from a 60Hz display to a 144Hz normally offers a significant improvement in viewing experience, assuming your GPU can maintain a matching frame rate.

MPRT - Moving Picture Response Time

Sometimes "response time" is evaluated in terms of MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time). This is not a measurement of how fast a pixel changes color, but rather for how long a pixel is continuously visible. Even when a pixel finishes changing color, it can remain in that same state until the next time the screen refreshes. It's commonly used when trying to represent visible motion blur caused by this persistence. It is often limited by refresh rate, but specific blur reduction technology can often lower it further.

One such blur reduction method is to simply strobe the backlight, i.e., turn it off after the image is displayed, then turn it back on when the screen fully refreshes again. This specific method affects overall screen brightness (less time illuminated leads to a dimmer picture) but effectively reduces image ghosting and afterimage issues. It also creates a generally smoother picture from a visual standpoint.

Some monitors offer an "MPRT" mode which signifies how the blur reduction technology is applied. In many instances, the mode it is set to can affect other monitor performance characteristics, such as brightness (as noted above).

Panel Types: IPS vs TN vs VA vs OLED

Panel Types Like TVs, different types of monitors use a variety of specifications to provide either similar or specific purposes.

 

TN (Twisted Nematic) Popular budget-wise, TN panels are generally favored for gaming due to high refresh rates and low pixel response times for gamers that want the least amount of latency during their experience.

 

IPS (In-Plane Switching) Mainly geared towards professional usage related to creatives and color accuracy, IPS provides higher color, brightness, and viewing angles performance. Compared to the TN, it has a higher response time.

 

VA (Vertical Alignment) A panel that stands in between TN and IPS. VA supports per-pixel dimming, providing a better contrast experience. VA panels come with better viewing angles and color reproduction versus TN, but they trade off a higher response time. Compared to IPS it may have somewhat less color accuracy and can be outperformed latency-wise.

 

OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) OLEDs are fixed-pixel displays where each pixel illuminates itself. Compared to LCDs, a backlight is required and will not display a perfect black visually. OLED can potentially achieve color and brightness to realistic aspects. It can also run well with high refresh rates and low-latency response time. This panel is not budget friendly and can be prone to burn-in by design.

What is a pixel?

Short for picture element, a pixel is a single point in a graphic image. Monitors display pictures by dividing the display screen into thousands (or millions) of pixels, arranged in rows and columns. The pixels are placed close together so that they appear connected.

full pixel is a combination of one red, one green, and one blue sub-pixel.

Frame Rate vs. Refresh Rate

Frame Rate Monitors operate by flashing dozens of still images ("frames") one after the other, creating the illusion of movement. “Frame rate” refers to how many frames per second ("FPS") your graphics card ("GPU") is sending to your monitor.

The more frames per second your graphics card sends, the smoother your gameplay can potentially look (less movement in between frames). Refresh Rate Refresh rate refers to the capability of a monitor to show multiple frames per second. It is typically measured in Hz ("Hertz"), where a monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate refreshes the displayed image 60 times per second.

If the refresh rate of your monitor is less than the frame rate sustained by your GPU, you may experience image problems like tearing. While there are usually options available to limit the frame rate produced by your GPU, in doing so, you lose out on the previously mentioned benefits of a higher frame rate.

As such, many modern monitors now offer higher frame rates above the classic 60Hz. Some commonly supported higher refresh rates are 75Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz, 165Hz, 240Hz, and even as high as 360Hz. Moving from a 60Hz display to a 144Hz normally offers a significant improvement in viewing experience, assuming your GPU can maintain a matching frame rate.

What are pixel and sub-pixel defects?

A full pixel defect is a bright white dot or very noticeable black dot on the display. No full pixel defects are allowed per HyperX monitor specification.

A sub-pixel defect is also referred to as a dot defect.

Bright dot sub-pixel defects are permanently "on", displaying a colored red, green, or blue spot on the display at all times.

Dark dot sub-pixel defects are permanently "off", displaying a black dot on the display at all times.

A different type of defect caused by microscopic contaminants within the manufacturing process can also be found. Contamination results in a dark "stain" covering one or several sub-pixels. They are not pixel or sub-pixel defects per se. No contamination is allowed under HyperX policy.

Dark sub-pixel defect - In this image, a dark spot on a white background results from a green sub-pixel, which is in the "off" or dark state.

Bright sub-pixel defect - In this image, a bright spot on a black background is caused by sub-pixels (in this case, a red sub-pixel) in the "on" state.

Debris trapped within the LCD structure can result in dark spots, but under magnification these are distinguished from an "off" sub-pixel, as the shape of the contaminating particle is visible.

Monitor Response Time

Response time in the context of monitors generally refers to how much time it takes for a pixel to change color. It is often used in the context of shifting color from black to white to black again. However, there are other ways of measuring it. For instance, gray to gray transition (GtG) measurements (often used for gaming monitors specifically) track how long it takes for a pixel to transition between one gray level to another (commonly 10% to 90%). GtG measurements are evaluated as an average across different transitions. This response time is faster than the traditional BWB response time and offers some insight into the most basic layer of pixel response time.

Sometimes "response time" is evaluated in terms of MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time). This is not a measurement of how fast a pixel changes color, but rather for how long a pixel is continuously visible. Even when a pixel finishes changing color, it can remain in that same state until the next time the screen refreshes. It's commonly used when trying to represent visible motion blur caused by this persistence. It is often limited by refresh rate, but specific blur reduction technology can often lower it further. Some monitors offer an "MPRT" mode which signifies how the blur reduction technology is applied. In many instances, the mode it is set to can affect other monitor performance characteristics, such as brightness. Modern LCD displays usually exhibit a response time under 10ms (for B-W-B transitions). Lower is better here, as it cuts down on some common image issues like "ghosting" and blurring. GtG response times usually measure under 5ms, with higher end monitors offering close-to or even sub-1ms GtG.a

Watermark and Image Retention Policy

Some monitors are designed with In-Plane Switching (IPS) display technology, which provides ultrawide viewing angles and advanced image quality. Though suitable for many applications, this panel technology is not suitable for static, stationary, or fixed images for long periods of time, unless you use screen savers.

Applications with static images can include camera surveillance, video games, marketing logos, and templates. Static images can cause image retention damage that could look like stains or watermarks on the monitor's screen.

Image retention damage on monitors that are in use 24 hours per day is not covered under the HP warranty.

To avoid image retention damage, always turn off the monitor when it is not in use, or use the power management setting, if supported on your computer, to turn off the monitor when the computer is idle.

Monitor Frame Rate

Monitors operate by flashing dozens of still images ("frames") one after the other, creating the illusion of movement of the images across the screen. However, "frame rate" is not a direct property of a monitor. Rather, “frame rate” directly refers to how many frames per second ("FPS") your graphics card ("GPU") is sending to your monitor. The more frames per second your graphics card sends, the smoother your gameplay can *potentially* look (less change in between frames).

Where can I find the part number on my microphone?

First, take a look on the underside of the microphone stand, meaning the part that normally makes contact with the desk. Normally, there is a sticker somewhere, which contains a part number and usually the product name next to it. 4Pxxxx is the most common structure but it may start with something else. Significantly older models may instead start with "KHX-" or "HX-" alongside a number starting with "3500xx".

If you see an indent in the stand that looks like it was supposed to hold a sticker, but do not see the sticker, the sticker may have fallen off.

Another place to look is the bottom or back of the microphone itself, near any of the ports the mic may have. You're looking for the same kind of info as what would have been on the underside of the stand above. As before, if you see a small indent that looks like it might have held the sticker but you don't see one, the sticker may have fallen off.

Where can I find the part number on my earbuds?

First, for wired earbuds, take a look on volume control segment of the cable. Normally, there is a sticker or etching somewhere there, which contains a part number and usually the product name next to it. 4Pxxxx is the most common structure but it may start with something else. Significantly older models may instead start with "KHX-" or "HX-" alongside a number starting with "3500xx".

If you see an indent that looks like it was supposed to hold a sticker, but do not see the sticker, the sticker may have fallen off.

For wireless earbuds, the first place to look is actually the charging case. Open the lid, and you may see a sticker / etching of the product info either next to where the earbuds slot in, or on the underside of the lid. If you don't see it there, check all around the outside of the case as well. You're looking for the same kind of info as what would have been on the cable sticker above. As before, if you see a small indent that looks like it might have held the sticker but you don't see one, the sticker may have fallen off.

Wireless buds may also have the info sticker on them, or etched into the buds, directly. If you still haven't found the info for your wireless buds, take a close look at each earbud in a well-lit area.

Why does my wireless headset have intermittent crackling noises or intermittent connection?

There can be many causes for static and intermittent audio issues occurring with wireless headsets. Some wireless devices may use the same wireless channel. In those instances, wireless headset can be susceptible to interference from those other wireless products due to signal overlap. Some USB port designs (namely, USB 3.0) can produce 2.4GHz wireless interference when in use, primarily directed above and below the port (long sides). Ideally, keep the headset's wireless USB adapter away from any active USB 3.0 ports, especially not directly adjacent to any of them. If you are out of ports to utilize, a basic USB extension cable (one-to-one, not a hub) can be used to shift the wireless adapter away from the active ports. If you are using a USB hub of some kind, or have a significant number of high-power-draw devices connected via USB, try moving around how you have those devices plugged in. Depending on the system, power supply to the USB ports can also cause issues. If your system (namely, wherever the headset wireless adapter is located on the system) is near your wireless router / access point, it can also be a source of interference. Most wireless routers / access points by default broadcast a 2.4GHz wireless signal. The broadcast power of your router likely exceeds the strength of any other wireless device in proximity to the headset. If the wireless adapter is in close proximity (<10ft away), manually change the 2.4GHz channel on the router Wi-Fi from Auto to channels 1, 6, or 11. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are best since they do not overlap with other channels. You may need to try all three to see which yields the best results.

Where can I find the part number on my headset?

First, take a look on the underside of the headband, meaning the part that normally makes contact with the top of your head. Normally, there is a sticker somewhere, which contains a part number and usually the product name next to it. 4Pxxxx is the most common structure but it may start with something else. Significantly older models may instead start with "KHX-" or "HX-" alongside a number starting with "3500xx".

If you see an indent in the headband that looks like it was supposed to hold a sticker, but do not see the sticker, the sticker may have fallen off.

Another place to look is beneath each ear pad, on the underlying ear cup next to each driver (headset speaker). Pull off both earpads from the headset. All of our headset models have detachable earpads, with most just slipping out of a small groove in each earcup. Once the earpads are removed, take a look for any stickers that were previously covered by the earpads. You're looking for the same kind of info as what would have been on the headband sticker above. As before, if you see a small indent that looks like it might have held the sticker but you don't see one, the sticker may have fallen off.
