Setup Instructions

The HyperX FlipCast can be used with microphone stand or arm with either 3/8" or 5/8" threads. To use with 5/8" threads, use a coin to remove the preinstalled 3/8" thread adapter. Rotate the stand mount nut clockwise to attach the microphone. Adjust to the desired position before tightening the nuts, as rotation is locked once secured.

Microphone Position

The HyperX FlipCast features a cardioid pickup pattern, with the front being most sensitive to sound. This is useful for reducing the pickup of background or other unwanted sounds.

150HZ HIGH-PASS FILTER OFF ON
—	- Green

Switching on the high-pass filter reduces out rumble or other unwanted low frequencies. The high-pass filter has a cutoff frequency of 150Hz and a roll-off of 12 dB/octave.

PRESENCE BOOST OFF ON
√	- Green

Switching on the presence boost enhances upper-mid frequencies, resulting in a brighter sound that improves vocal clarity.

Tap-to-Mute Sensor

to mute/unmute the microphone. The microphone mute LED will indicate the current mute status.

NOTE: The mute control requires a USB connection and mutes both USB and XLR outputs. When using only XLR, the mute control will not be active, and only the filter switches will function.
