RØDE Procaster Professional Broadcast-quality Dynamic Microphone for Podcasting, Streaming, Gaming, and Voice Recording

The sound is buttery and rich; miles ahead of the $65 generic USB mic. I didn't realize how big a difference it would make! This mic needs a pre-amp of some kind. If you just use a mixer, you need to turn the gain up quite far, so you'll need a decent mixer to make sure the signal is clean at those higher levels. (I'm using Behringer gear, and above about 75%, you start to hear unwanted line hiss. Installing a Cloudlifter fixed that problem. Whatever the case, this mic requires that you spend more heavily on the rest of your gear. Definitely the next level up from cheap beginner YouTubing, and you'll pay for it. The Procaster has good sound rejection from the sides and rear. With the right adjustments and a less clacky keyboard, I find I can get rid of typing noises from the desk. The mic, as others have indicated, is much heavier than your standard budget mic, so bear that in mind when working out your mounting solution. I was about to get another two of these, (I have two condenser mics I was quite happy with in terms of sound quality, but they pick up everything from far away, from the other sides of walls, so dynamic mics are the answer.), but instead of dropping $600, I instead spent half that to get the next tier down; two Rode Podmics. Judging by YouTube comparisons, they don't sound as nice out of box as the Procaster, but I'm hoping with some compression tricks and equalization, they'll serve. I also like that they have a slightly greater effective speaking range than the Procaster. When interviewing guests who are not necessarily trained in audio work, I want people to feel comfortable not being right on top of their mic. But we'll see. If they don't work out as I hope, I'll return them and get another two of these Procasters. **********Update: The cheaper Podmics worked; they're nice little mics, and with compression and tweaking they do nearly sound as good.., but not quite. There's just something nagging at the edge. I ended up buying another Procaster and am very happy with that. An expensive experiment!

Where do I start with this microphone? The build quality is superb, it has been my daily driver since purchased, I feel it compliments my voice very well. Being a dynamic microphone it is front facing so back ground noises are very good even out of the box without any fine tuning. Like the SM7B and the RE20 you will need a lot of gain to power it, I have mine running into a subzero microphone booster which can utilise phantom power on my audio internet, the sensitivity of the mic is 56db so this helps to not stress the interface too much, I find that it doesn't need much calibration on OBS to get good audio For the price I think it is very competitive to some of the other higher end broadcast mics, be it podcasts live streaming or voice over work. As far as design I think it is a very well made and fits that professional look. As far as cons I would say it's plosive rejection isn't the best and like I mentioned earlier it requires alot of gain to power so many audio interfaces won't be enough without a mic activator like a cloud lifter or fet head As far as value this is almost impossible to beat, the SM7B is double the price and the RE20 is almost 3 times the price I chose the rode for that reason

Excellent quality microphone for voiceovers, podcasts, and broadcasts

Arkadaşlar hem youtube videolarımda hem de canlı yayınlarımda kullanıyorum. Mükemmel ötesi bir mükrefen, aşk yaşıyorum bu mikrofonla. Rode kalitesi kendini belli ediyor. Hem malzeme kalitesi hem ses kalitesi harika. Bundan daha pahalı bir mikrofona gerek yok, iyi bir ses kartı ve xlr kablo ile kombinleyin yeter. Rode’un kendi xlr kablosunu aldım yanına da bir adet Audient Mk2 id4 aldım. Mükemmel kombin tavsiye ederim. Belki ilerde bir tane fethead alırım ondan emin değilim.

Knew what i what i bought and it realy met my expectations.
