Product Information

Full details

The HyperX FlipCast is designed for streamers, podcasters, and vocalists who require professional-grade audio fidelity in both digital and analog workflows. Its primary strength lies in its versatile dual-connectivity (USB-C and XLR) and integrated noise-reduction features, making it an excellent all-in-one solution for diverse recording environments. One caveat to keep in mind is that while the USB plug-and-play functionality is highly accessible, users looking to take full advantage of the software-based customization will need to install the HyperX NGENUITY software on a PC.

FAQs

Can I use USB and XLR at the same time?

While the microphone features both ports, it is designed to be used with one output method at a time for optimal signal integrity.

Is the FlipCast compatible with Mac and PC?

Yes, it is plug-and-play compatible with both Mac and PC systems via USB-C.

What is the function of the high-pass filter?

The high-pass filter helps reduce low-frequency sounds like rumble, thumps, and background air conditioning noise.

Do I need a preamp when using XLR?

Yes, you will need a dedicated audio interface or mixer to provide gain and convert the signal for your computer.

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates are managed through the HyperX NGENUITY software when the microphone is connected via USB.

Troubleshooting

Microphone not detected by computer via USB.

Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the mic and the computer; try a different USB port or cable.

Audio sounds too quiet or distorted.

Adjust the gain via the on-board multi-function knob and check your computer's system input settings to ensure the levels are properly calibrated.

Mute indicator light not working.

Ensure the microphone is receiving proper power and the USB connection is stable; if using XLR, check that the interface is powered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the HyperX FlipCast via USB, simply connect the provided cable to your computer; most operating systems will recognize it automatically as an audio input device. For XLR use, connect a standard 3-pin XLR cable to your audio interface, ensuring 48V phantom power is engaged if required by your interface specifications. The unit comes with a 5/8 inch thread and includes a 3/8 inch adapter, making it compatible with almost any industry-standard microphone stand or boom arm. Keep the capsule clean by using a dry, soft cloth, and store the microphone in a dust-free environment when not in use to maintain the integrity of the internal components.
