I didn't realize how big a difference it would make! This mic needs a pre-amp of some kind. If you just use a mixer, you need to turn the gain up quite far, so you'll need a decent mixer to make sure the signal is clean at those higher levels. (I'm using Behringer gear, and above about 75%, you start to hear unwanted line hiss. Installing a Cloudlifter fixed that problem. Whatever the case, this mic requires that you spend more heavily on the rest of your gear. Definitely the next level up from cheap beginner YouTubing, and you'll pay for it. The Procaster has good sound rejection from the sides and rear. With the right adjustments and a less clacky keyboard, I find I can get rid of typing noises from the desk. The mic, as others have indicated, is much heavier than your standard budget mic, so bear that in mind when working out your mounting solution. I was about to get another two of these, (I have two condenser mics I was quite happy with in terms of sound quality, but they pick up everything from far away, from the other sides of walls, so dynamic mics are the answer.), but instead of dropping $600, I instead spent half that to get the next tier down; two Rode Podmics. Judging by YouTube comparisons, they don't sound as nice out of box as the Procaster, but I'm hoping with some compression tricks and equalization, they'll serve. I also like that they have a slightly greater effective speaking range than the Procaster. When interviewing guests who are not necessarily trained in audio work, I want people to feel comfortable not being right on top of their mic. But we'll see. If they don't work out as I hope, I'll return them and get another two of these Procasters. **********Update: The cheaper Podmics worked; they're nice little mics, and with compression and tweaking they do nearly sound as good.., but not quite. There's just something nagging at the edge. I ended up buying another Procaster and am very happy with that. An expensive experiment! Review: Professional build quality and excellent sound - Where do I start with this microphone? The build quality is superb, it has been my daily driver since purchased, I feel it compliments my voice very well. Being a dynamic microphone it is front facing so back ground noises are very good even out of the box without any fine tuning. Like the SM7B and the RE20 you will need a lot of gain to power it, I have mine running into a subzero microphone booster which can utilise phantom power on my audio internet, the sensitivity of the mic is 56db so this helps to not stress the interface too much, I find that it doesn't need much calibration on OBS to get good audio For the price I think it is very competitive to some of the other higher end broadcast mics, be it podcasts live streaming or voice over work. As far as design I think it is a very well made and fits that professional look. As far as cons I would say it's plosive rejection isn't the best and like I mentioned earlier it requires alot of gain to power so many audio interfaces won't be enough without a mic activator like a cloud lifter or fet head As far as value this is almost impossible to beat, the SM7B is double the price and the RE20 is almost 3 times the price I chose the rode for that reason ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001IPUJJI | | Antenna Location | Podcasting, Radio Production, Voice Recording, Video Production | | Audible Noise | 78 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 56 Decibels | | Brand | RØDE | | Built-In Media | stand mount, 3/8 inch adaptor, zip pouch | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Audio Mixer, Sound Reinforcement System, Podcasting Equipment, Broadcasting Studio Recording Equipment | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,930 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 5 Years | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | Frequency Range | 75Hz 18kHz | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00698813001118 | | Hardware Platform | Television | | Impedance | 150 Ohms | | Item Dimensions | 28.6 x 6.4 x 14 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Dynamic microphone | | Item Weight | 1.06 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Rode Microphones | | Mfr Part Number | PROCASTER | | Microphone Form Factor | Handheld | | Model Name | x | | Model Number | PROCASTER | | Number of Batteries | Nonstandard Battery batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | AC | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 78 dB | | Special Feature | Noise Reduction | | UPC | 698813001118 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | One Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Rode - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Audio Interface, Mixing Console, Digital Recorder - **Connectivity Technology:** Wired - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Included Components:** Procaster - **Model Name:** x - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Streaming - **Special Feature:** Noise Reduction ## Images ![Procaster Professional Broadcast-quality Dynamic Microphone for Podcasting, Streaming, Gaming, and Voice Recording - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VrmWu3qwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be placed on the center of a small table and used by two or three speakers (for a podcast)?** A: As some of the others have mentioned, this mic is not what you are looking for but the Blue Yeti is perfect for your needs. The internet is filled with mixed reviews about the Blue Yeti but as someone who has nearly 30 years of experience as an audio engineer, I can tell you that it's a fabulous mic, especially for your particular application. I currently record multi-person podcasts daily using the Yeti in omni mode while hanging overhead for multiple speakers/conversational situations, a Rode Podcaster as the daily driver for one of the on-air personalities and a Shure SM7B for another on-air personality and I'm extremely happy with the performance of all three mics. I also use an Audio Technica AT2020 sometimes when we have an additional guest in the studio.One thing to keep in mind - you will need to understand your workstation and have a plan on how to set up your gear, as the Yeti is a USB mic (unless you get the pro model which takes both XLR and USB) while the AT2020 is an XLR and so on... you get the idea. With these two different formats I often see people purchasing both kinds without first figuring out how they are going to get all these mics to play nicely with one another. Do your homework on how you're going to hook everything up and you should be just fine. Good luck! **Q: Is it with a USB attachement?** A: Here's short run down I just noticed today. I'm in the market for a Rode Mic so I did some digging. Rode NT-USB USB ($169)Rode PodCaster USB Dynamic Microphone (USB $230)Rode ProCaster Broadcast Dynamic Vocal Microphone XLR ($230)Rode BroadCaster Studio Condenser Microphone XLR ($400)Fist two are USB. Last two are XLR. **Q: Does this work with behringer xenyx x1204usb? or additional equipments are required?** A: It works. You just need a XLR mic cable and you are good to go (it is not included). **Q: anyone use this for recording singing vocals? thanks!** A: Yes. This mic works well for vocals. I would say it is better for aggressive styles of singing. I’ve recorded everything from death metal screaming to angelic female vocals with great success. The sound reminds me a lot of the Shure SM-7b, which is traditionally a broadcasting mic, but made famous for vocals by Metallica. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellence is expensive. *by M***Y on 21 December 2019* The sound is buttery and rich; miles ahead of the $65 generic USB mic.
