Rode Podcaster

USB Broadcast Microphone

The RØDE Podcaster is a dynamic, end-address USB microphone that combines broadcast-quality audio with the simplicity of USB connectivity, allowing recording direct to a computer without the need for an additional digital interface. Including an audiophile quality 18-bit resolution, 48kHz sampling A/D converter, the Podcaster processes all of the analogue-to-digital conversion internally, bypassing the computer's lower quality on-board sound controller altogether.

A headphone output on the microphone body provides zero-latency monitoring, so the user can hear exactly what is being recorded, free of delay or echo.The Podcaster features an internal pop filter, designed to minimise plosives sounds that can overload the microphone capsule and distort the audio output. It is fully compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Mac OS X computers, as well as several Linux distributions. The microphone is bus powered and features a status LED to indicate operation.

The Podcaster is ideal for podcasting, vodcasting, YouTube videos, voice recognition software, corporate videos and any production application that requires a simple yet professional voice-over microphone. It is also a convenient demo microphone for musicians and songwriters that prefer the convenience of a USB microphone but don't want to compromise sound quality.

It can also be used as an iPad microphone for the Apple iPad (in conjunction with the iPad Camera Connection Kit and a powered USB hub) to provide high quality recording to various iPad audio applications such as Garageband. The Podcaster includes a sturdy RM2 microphone ring mount. For professional applications the optional PSM1 shock mount and PSA1 boom arm are highly recommended. The RØDE Podcaster USB microphone is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RØDE Microphones' industry leading 10 year warranty (after registration).

All Rode microphones are warranted for one year from date of purchase. You can extend that to a full ten years if you register online at www.rodemic.com
Broadcast Sound Quality
28mm dynamic capsule
Windows and Mac compatible
Internal capsule shock mounting
3.5mm stereo headphone output with volume control built-in to body

The RØDE Podcaster Package Includes:

- RØDE Podcaster USB Broadcast Microphone.

- RØDE RM2 Ring-Mount Microphone Stand.

- USB Cable (3 meter/10 feet).

Designed Specifically with Podcasting in Mind

The Podcaster has been designed for any application where recorded voice clarity and direct digital connection is demanded. Designed with Podcasting as a main use, this revolutionary microphone is also perfect for adding voice-overs while editing digital video, and for the ‘on location’ reporter who can quickly record on a laptop and then simply e-mail this to the studio for instant broadcast. It is also a convenient demo microphone for musicians and songwriters that prefer the convenience of a USB microphone but don't want to compromise sound quality.

Easy to Use and Windows/Mac Compatible

Just plug in the Podcaster with the supplied USB cable, launch your recording or video editing program and begin. It is that simple! The Podcaster is fully compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Mac OS X computers, as well as several Linux distributions. The microphone is bus powered and features a status LED to indicate operation.

Cardioid Polar Pattern

The Podcaster has a Cardioid polar pattern, meaning the microphone picks up audio from the front and sides and rejects audio from the rear. Therefore, a tight cardioid pattern represents superior off-axis sound rejection.

Product description

The Rode Podcaster is the easiest way to record high quality vocals or audio on your computer and upload them to the world. Seamless integration was the idea, and it was obtained by creating a studio dynamic microphone with unparalleled A/D converters, so that the microphone can be plugged into any computer with no in/out boxes, no expensive computer pre-amps, just a USB cable. The Podcaster offers an end-address configuration, the clarity of RØDE's tailored-for-voice frequency response, an ON L.E.D, a direct headphone amp, and of course very low self noise. The Podcaster opens up possibilities for anyone who records audio - from podcasters, journalists and students to business people adding audio files to websites and multimedia presentations. RODE Podcaster Features Broadcast sound quality 28mm dynamic capsule 18-Bit Resolution, 8 - 48 kHz sampling Windows and Mac compatible Tight Cardioid pattern for superior off axis sound rejection Powered from USB Bus Internal capsule shock mounting 3.5mm stereo headphone output with volume control built into the body Includes a 10 foot USB cable and stand mount

Beautiful clean sound with no fussing around

ByScotton May 23, 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.

We send it to all of our clients

ByShortcut Bloggingon 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.

Make sure you have what you need.

ByAustin M.M. Wilkeson June 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

Absolutely a great microphone. The sound of this mic is great and the only place it really has any trouble is with the highs.

You should make sure you have a few things before you get this microphone. This is a very wide microphone and I could barely fit it in the shock mount I had. As well as wide it is VERY HEAVY. If you plan on using a boom arm I would make sure it can handle the weight of it. This as well goes for any stand you use. This microphone does not come with a stand. I would also recommend you get a pop filter or windscreen. It has a built-in pop filter but its really not that good.

Other than just needing a few things with this microphone ( Which you would need with any microphone ) it is a very good microphone overall and helps me keep out the noise of cars passing by.

Great for the Amateur Who Just Needs to Get Stuff Done

ByJeremy Morganon September 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

I am using this microphone for spoken recordings. I have been recording a few courses online with another microphone, and spent a lot of time removing artifacts and struggling with background noise. I purchased this one and started using it, and it's saved me a great amount of time. It picks up FAR less background noise than similar microphones in it's range. Plosives are managed fairly well.

I was able to relax the restrictions on where I could record and it's been very helpful. There isn't as much bass in this microphone as I would like, but it's very clear and crisp. I would highly recommend this for the amateur sound editors that still want a polished, nice sound in their recordings.

Heavy

ByGR Fireon July 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

Ok - this is one heavy mic! I'm using it to create podcasts and training video's. The sound quality is excellent - studio quality. I had to purchase On Stage DS7200B Adjustable Desk Microphone Stand, Black to keep it from falling over. The problem is the the mic must mount from the rear, so all the weight is hanging over. I also strongly suggest Rode PSM1 Shockmount. It serves a few purposes; 1) it changes the center of gravity when mounting the mic since it attaches to the mic stand in the middle and allows the mic to hang more rearward and it provides a shock absorber. Using it on a MAC with VM - has no issues being recognized by XP and OS X. Overall, very happy with the mic.

Great for recording lectures and e-learning modules. Easy to install and use, very sturdy.

ByJMon January 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a great microphone, easy to plug, and with excellent quality. I was looking for a microphone to recording e-learning courses, and after so much trial and error, I stumbled accross this microphone. It is very well built, sturdy. The recording is very clear and it is great rejecting background noise (a problem that I had with a Yeti Pro).

Five stars.
