Built Like a Tank
Published on 01/19/13 at 15:28The Podcaster is a podcasting mic, it can be used for studio recordings, just depends on what you wanna do and how you want to use it
Let's get into some details
OVERALL OPINION
I've worked with a lot of different microphones over the years. Condensers, dynamics and Usb versions of both. One thing I've always hated was having to adjust my preamp pick up for the environment that I want to record in. True, recording in my studio always worked great because I have it setup for recording, but sometimes I just want to record in the living room/dinning room.

True, recording in my studio always worked great because I have it setup for recording, but sometimes I just want to record in the living room/dinning room.
If you've worked with any kind of condenser mic you know they are great for picking up detail. If your recording environment isn't setup for recording you're bound to pick up a lot of background noise, that's just the way it works. The Podcast has a really right cardiod pattern allowing it to block a lot of that extra noise out focusing on the source that is directly in front of it (that being you, your voice)
The podcaster reproduces sound very accurately and it's built to last. I've dropped it 2 twice ON PURPOSE! I did this because, the supplier told me if it broke he'd give me 2 heh so, I thought I'd try my luck. It still works and sounds great. It does come with a heavier price tag than most dynamic mics, but it's worth it in my opinion.
Here are the Pros
Good solid build
Comes with a good warranty 10 years (if registered at Rodemic.com)
Mic stand clip (comes with it)
Quality sound
Excellent noise reduction
Not a lot of self noise
Here are some cons
Doesn't come with a lot of features (not important)
No shockmount – this was a downer for me. Luckily I had my own shock mount
price tag – might be a little rich for some people on a budget.See less00 - MisterCool12345
Perfect for use broadcast
Published on 01/18/13 at 09:05 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Dynamic microphone, sturdy, with a nice build quality and finish.
OVERALL OPINION
Knowing that it is a destination radio microphone, I will speak as such.
The microphone is perfect for capturing the voice spoke, he tone of RE 20 with a little roundness of the SM7B.
Knowing that the microphone is only part of the final rendering of your voice, it is ideal for budget:
Rode Procaster: 150 €
Suspension arm +: 150 €
+ Preamp treatment DBX286a: 200 €
If you only have € 500, do not buy a microphone like "Electrovoice RE 27" behind without treatment, otherwise you will be very disappointed with the result.

OVERALL OPINION
Warm and natural sound reproduction, in contrast to many existing condenser microphones very aggressive.
Proximity effect barely noticeable, as one stays more than 5cm voice remains natural. Closer we get "the big voice" (type trailer cinema or broadcast U.S.).
It offers good rejection of off-axis sound while leaving a good freedom of movement.
Indisputably a material cut for broadcast, podcast quality, voice-over but it is also suitable for the song, a cover of guitar or bass amp, recording wind instruments, etc. ... wherever the extreme high end is not desirable.
For such a dynamic microphone broadcast (radio, dubbing), the choice is not very large:
Electro-Voice RE20, RE27, Shure SM7, Heil PR40, Neumann BCM705 and Rode Procaster.
This is the cheapest on the list but it is nevertheless comparable to competitors, with each model's personality.See less20
