This is a solid mic with a 10 year guarantee and feels like it will last a lifetime. Sound quality seems very good to me, my voice sounds deep and rich and it's way better than a small lapel mic or a built in mic in a phone or computer. It is a dynamic microphone which means you have to get right close to it for the best sound. The advantage of this is that it filters out most background noise so that your voice is clear. I bought it for voice overs and podcasting which is its intended use and I also bought the Rode shock mount and boom arm which keeps it out of the way when I'm not using it. One thing to note though is that Windows 10 does not boost the input from USB microphones and it will not record very loud unless you install a couple of apps as described in ...

Very good quality mic. It's heavy weight and very sturdy. Sound quality is very good for a usb microphone but lacks the depth of a xlr microphone. This is a dynamic microphone so ambiant noise is reduced but you are forced to speak directly into the head of the mic for best sound quality. The built in pop filter is rubbish, better get a foam windshield like the Rode ws7 to eliminate plosives.I would have liked to see the inclusion of a mute button directly on the microphone.

I have really enjoyed using this mic. It’s been a few weeks in and I am very pleased with the quality and sound style this mic has. One immediate downside I found is that it’s a bit quiet, and you don’t have a gain knob. You can either stay in a fixed, very close position (1 inch) while speaking, or use a virtual mixer (like Voicemeeter), which is what I did. Using virtual mixers can be a hassle for most users to set up properly and take time to troubleshoot. I wouldn’t recommend this mic to any beginner who doesn’t know what they are doing. However, for more experienced software users, you will be pleased with this mic. The cardioid pattern is very apparent, which is great. I would recommend buying another pop filter to slip on top of this to reduce plosives, which ... MoreI have really enjoyed using this mic.

My Rode Podcaster microphone has a spectacular appearance, looking like it is suspended in fresh air, being cradled in my Rode shock mount and suspended by my Rode microphone stand that, using the supplied mount fitted perfectly to the top of my wooden desk.Although I'm new to podcasting, I've now bolted from the starting gates and the Podcaster has boosted my enthusiasm and soon I will be a genuine podcaster.Having done some early testing, the Podcaster surpasses all the claims made on its behalf, it's easy to use, but interestingly wouldn't seem to work with Audacity (I have a Macbook Air) and so now I studying up on Garageband, which recognises the Podcaster.
The audio quality that I can get out of this microphone is phenomenal. And not just for a USB microphone, I think this could go toe-to-toe with some of the big boy XLR microphones + audio interface options out there.I have this set up with the Røde PSA1 Studio Arm and PSM1 shock mount in a carpeted room, but with nothing on the walls (definitely not an ideal space for recording audio) and I don't have any issues with background noise or echoes or anything.With how good this microphone is, I would only upgrade to an XLR mic (like the Røde Procaster) if I were doing interviews with others and so needed multiple mics, and then I would get the Rodecaster interface at that stage.
I was using the AT2020 and it's a great mic but the problem with it is that it would pickup so much of the room causing me to work harder editing my voice overs. I wanted a mic that was a dynamic mic so I would have to talk into the front of it to get my voice and be less likely to pickup anything else. The RODE Podcaster is that mic. Did I mention I wanted it to be a USB mic. I know you can do so much more with XLR mic's but for what we do a really good USB mic does the trick beyond well. The RODE has a builtin pop filter or at least most dynamic mic's do but I would still invest in getting a third party one as I noticed it truly helps out the audio. It's hard to find a good one for the RODE so to make things easy for you all the one I'm using is the BSW RE320POP ...

I've tried a couple other USB mics for use with my PS4. I wanted a dynamic mic in order to lessen unwanted sound pickup, and there are very few usb dynamic options on the market. The Podcaster sounds great and unlike other mics I've tried (Razer Seiren Elite, Blue Snowball) picks up very little unwanted noise.It seems very solidly built and is quite heavy/large. The mic I received originally appeared to have a damaged back plate (around the usb connection) but upon closer inspection proved to just be sloppily painted. As far as I can tell this is just a cosmetic issue.I did originally buy this mic with the intent to use the headphone out while I stream, but unfortunately this feature doesn't agree with PS4 for whatever reason, and attempting to use the headphone ...

As such I simply don't use the headphone out. Also tested on PC with no issues, so I assume this problem is specific to PS4 compatibility.Overall a very solid mic that sounds excellent. Rode may have some minor quality control issues but I can recommend the mic without reserve, at least for use on PC, and for PS4 with a caveat.
This setup elevates your videoconferencing or webcam game to a pro level, without any specialized knowledge required. You don't need any audio mixer or adapters -- just plug the USB into your machine and you get magical sound. No drivers needed on Windows 11, I can verify. Apps automatically recognize the device.Ambient sound is removed and you get a really high quality voice signal.
The Mic is a really great piece of equipment for someone who needs a good product for a low budget. I use it to record voiceovers for youtube videos, and since I don't make money from it, it's the perfect solution. I think it's the best you will get for the money you invest and I highly recommend purchasing it WITH the Røde PSM1 or the other accessory to hold it, since otherwise you will be holding it in your hand all the time.The design is really good, it was in fact awarded for it. The mic is very well built, looks sturdy as hell and the only flaw was a little golden sticker that fell off, but I have no idea on the purpose of that sticker so it doesn't influence my vote.The package includes a USB cable, a 10 year warranty from the manufacturer and a sticker "I ...

I'm new to recording for AM radio, but I know what I want - a clean recording, one that can be cranked up without annoying distortion, and procedures that are easy to understand and do. It's all in the RODE USB podcaster. In the past three months, I've tried SM58s, Shure SM63LB (mic for television interviewing), and several other mics that I plugged into my laptop 1/8 port - and they all made somewhat degradable recordings. The RODE USB connection means that the mic goes directly into my computer USB port - like it was meant to in the first place - and it goes directly into my Audacity software - BOOM - clean and bright. I don't want headaches with complicated hookups for my computer. I have a Windows 7 laptop, and all I did was stick the USB wire into the computer. ...
