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. 

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.
