The RODE Podcaster USB Broadcast Microphone is a dynamic end-address USB microphone that combines broadcast-quality audio with the simplicity of USB connectivity. It features a premium dynamic capsule with a tight polar pattern providing excellent room noise rejection, plus an internal shockmount for superior isolation from knocks, bumps and keyboard sounds and an internal pop filter for minimising plosives. A headphone output on the microphone body allows for zero-latency monitoring, so you can hear exactly what is being recorded, free of delay or echo. Delivering high-quality audio quality with incredible ease of use, the Podcaster is ideal for a wide variety of voice applications, including podcasting, voice-over recording, gaming and livestreaming.
Podcasters will appreciate the cardioid polar pattern—which naturally reduces room noise by rejecting any audio to the back and rear of the mic’s capsule—as well as the built-in pop filter to minimize p-pops and plosives. The mic comes with a USB cable and a standmount, so you can set it up right out of the box.
Great Sound for Your Pordcasts
Perfect for recording podcasts or voice-overs on your computer, the mic offers a clear and present sound.
Works with Your Setup
The mic will operate with both Mac and Windows computers. No preamp, interface, converters, or mixer are necessary for recording your voice.
Directional Polar Pattern for Home Use
The mic has a cardioid polar pattern to tamp down any extraneous room noise. This directional polar pattern is a great choice if you’re working out of an untreated room. The dynamic capsule can also be said to aid in minimizing room noise as it’s less sensitive to noise compared to a condenser microphone.
Built-In 3.5mm Headphone Jack
The RODE Podcaster offers a headphone jack for monitoring. Just plug a pair of headphones into the headphone jack, and you’ll be able to listen to your pro-quality audio in all its glory. Also, a convenient volume dial helps you raise or lower the headphone volume—you won’t have to change the volume on your computer or your recording software to hear audio at your desired level.
Professional Audio Capture
This USB mic boasts a 96 kHz/24-bit converter, so you’ll be able to record audio with the same specifications of a professional recording studio.
Simple to Set Up
Just plug the mic into your computer’s USB port with the attached cable, select it as a device in your recording software, and you’re ready to get to work. The mic runs off your device’s power, so no need to plug it into a wall.
Thoughtful Appointments
An included USB cable means you can get up and running right away. An integrated pop filter helps mitigate vocal pops and plosives for a cleaner sound. A ring mount for a mic stand is also included.
