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

Great for the Amateur Who Just Needs to Get Stuff Done
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2016
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.

Overpriced

Problem #1
I ordered this on the morning of the 18th of October for £179. I checked back a little later this SAME DAY, and the price had miraculously dropped down to £143. That's a difference of £36 that just was randomly shaved off seemingly immediately after I ordered.
Problem #2
I tried to cancel with Amazon (the item hadn't even been dispatched yet) but they refused to do so. I realised I'd have to take the hit, but was ok with it if the mic turned out to be great.
Problem #3
This supposedly brand new Mic arrived the morning of October 19th (credit for fast delivery) but the bottom of the microphone had blatant SCUFF marks. It might seem minor, but for a microphone I was already overcharged for, this is literally unacceptable. Pictures attached.
Problem #4
After everything, I hoped this microphone would at least sound good and be an upgrade on my condenser microphone that I've been using for nearly a year now. This Rode mic is triple the price, so I'd expect a good standard and I specifically bought this mic because I wanted a dynamic microphone. Needless to say, after testing with it relentlessly, I can't help but feel scammed.
The audio quality isn't the upgrade I expected and I just feel disappointed all round.
