great microphone for zoom meetings...

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

I wanted a microphone that actually worked consistently and projected my voice well. This is an amazing microphone. I wanted USB, rather than running a USB interface and an XLR input, something that could just stay in place turned on and ready as meetings come up through the day. This microphone plus Rode's boom work perfectly for this purpose. I figure I'm going to be presenting myself remotely for the foreseeable futre, at least I certainly hope I'm able to stay remote, and this makes the quality of the interactions go to a whole new level.

Beautiful clean sound with no fussing around

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2013

Verified Purchase

I've been podcasting on and off since late 2005, and I've had a lot of different mics. I've even had an Electro-Voice RE20, and more recently, an Electro-Voice RE320. I like this mic better.

It is so easy to get clean sound out of this mic, and to not get the fuzziness and scratchy sibilance I was getting with the more expensive RE320. It's just dead silent when I'm not speaking, and when I am speaking, it's clean and clear and not at all fuzzy or noisy. I think you could probably get the same sound with the RE320 if you had it going through a very clean and powerful interface, but it wasn't happening for me, and I tried two different preamp/mixer combinations and a Shure X2U as well. Granted, I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on really good equipment.

It's just clean and clear and sounds great. The true test was when I guested on another podcast and heard how good I sounded even recorded over Skype. It sounded great. With my previous mic, even if I sounded fine in my own recordings, I always sounded terrible on everyone else's, but with this mic, it just sounds good.

On the Mac, you will have to crank the input volume for this mic up quite a bit. I have mine set to 83%, and it sounds quiet on recording before putting it into Logic with my EQ and gain settings. On the other hand, the volume was perfectly fine to others when I have used it on other podcasts or just conversing with people on G+ or Skype.

If you're a podcaster, you could buy a bunch of equipment, and maybe you think you want to. But you don't. Unless you're running a ton of inputs into your system, you don't need a mixer, and you don't need a Heil PR 40. All you need is this one mic, and preferably the boom arm and the shockmount. You'll not regret it.

Great mike but can't control gain

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

I don't know the technical reason why (perhaps it's because it's USB only connection and there's no pre-amp) but you can't control gain on this microphone. Translation: if you want that rich radio voice sound you need to be very close to it, with your mouth 1-2" from the pop filter.

LOVE THE SOUND

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

The sound is crisp and beautiful. The only issue I've had is it records lower than my previous mic so I had to really work with my settings to get it to a good level without it distorting in my editing software. It's an amazing mic though. Worth every penny.

We send it to all of our clients

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

We send the RØDE Podcaster to all of our new blogging and podcasting clients. We like it because it is heavy-duty, and dead simple to operate. You plug it in and get great sound. Nothing to adjust. Røde's warranty is superb. We've only ever had one mic fail and they repaired it with no questions. (We think the client may have dropped it, but no matter...it was fixed and returned to us).
If you're thinking about recording solo audio or Skype audio calls, this is a great choice. If you're doing webcam video, it looks darned nice too. It's a big, heavy mic. Do yourself a favor and grab the shock mount if the mic will be sitting on a desktop stand. If you're using a boom arm, it's less important, but you should still consider it. Besides, it looks cool too.

Our clients love it because of the simplicity and the cool factor of having a good-looking microphone on their desk. It gets conversations started about their podcasting!

We've tried other mics (AT2020, Apogee Mic, Blue Nessie, etc) We keep coming back to the Podcaster because of sound, simplicity and reputation.

Excellent quality audio

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

I. Love. This. Mic. Very pleased with the quality. Mind you, the only mic I used before this was a cheapo Logitech headset with attached mic. Believe it or not that mic produced nice sharp audios, but it also picked up every tiny sound in the room, and probably in the whole darn city, which led to tons of editing time in order to clean up the audio later.

With this Podcaster, I spend FAR LESS time editing and I love it. It produces nice, clean audios - barely picking up sounds in the background; they have to be pretty loud to be heard. You have to be right in front of it and pretty close to it when you record; everything else is barely audible. Very happy with it so far.

Solid microphone for convenient high-quality audio

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2009

Verified Purchase

I had a few audio projects coming up and I didn't want to rely just on my built-in laptop microphone. But I am not an audio engineer and didn't want to have to buy racks of equipment just so I could record high-quality audio. I also wanted my setup to be portable and durable.

So after shopping around I decided on the Rode Podcaster USB Microphone.

This is a hefty microphone -- very solid design. Also, using it couldn't be easier. Just plug it into my laptop's USB port (Mac) and start recording -- no need for external power supplies or other interface gadgets.

On a Mac, just plug in the mic, fire up Garage Band, and start recording.

I've already mentioned the heft of the microphone -- this means that you will likely need a solid mic stand to support the mic, especially since it connects to the stand at the base of the mic, and so the result makes the stand and mic a little top-heavy.

But I am very happy with this mic -- easy to use, durable, and makes high-quality recordings.

Great quality, but too heavy

Reviewed in Australia on December 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

The microphone itself is outstanding quality - yet I bought it with the same brand tripod and it did not hold the microphone, as it was too heavy and kept tilting. Had to send both back, as it didn't fulfill my needs for my podcasts. However, the microphone itself was really good quality!!

Microphone does it job out of the box.

Reviewed in Canada on October 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

Sounds great coming out of the box little to no post production needed. Works amazing with plenty background noise with the input set to about 75 percent. Would recommend if it is in your budget and if it is not in your budget I would suggest waiting until you can afford this because of how great it sounds. The quality of the microphone build is just as impressive as the sound that comes from it. It's solid and sturdy and is not overly heavy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a first or new microphone don't buy cheap microphones.
