## Description

Broadcast-quality dynamic microphone with integrated pop filter, tight cardioid polar pattern, and internal shock mounting for clear, controlled professional voice audio.

Review: Pairs very well with dbx286s for extra gain and useful sound processing + good for untreated rooms - This is a superb dynamic mic that is a serious alternative to the Shure SM7b. Whilst the SM7b has some advantages like better internal shock mounting, I prefer my voice on the Procaster. As many people have pointed out, this mic needs a lot of gain and +50dB without hiss is a lot of ask of many interfaces, hence the advice to use a Fethead or CloudLifter. An interesting, albeit slightly more expensive alternative is to get a dbx286s. This is a slim 1U rackmountable unit that gives you a lot of clean gain, it also includes a de-esser, a gate you can use to hide background noise, along with a low frequency control that gives you that "radio voice" and a high frequency alternative that adds a pleasant crispness. Now you could do some of those things in post-production if you are recording, but it is a great option if you are live (or like me have a huge problem with external noise from the street). I realise I'm in danger of reviewing the dbx rather than the Rode, but they make such a perfect combination for live streaming I think it is worth mentioning. This setup really brings out the best in the Rode mic. The Procaster itself is incredibly solid. I think it benefits from the Rode shockmount and boom arm, but that's a personal choice depending on how you intend to use it. I think it needs some sort of pop filter, you can get 3rd party alternatives to the Rode foam pop filter, which is a bit expensive. A more visually attractive option is the metal grill available from Roxdon. It is expensive but custom made for the Procaster. If your mic is in shot then it looks really nice. It is great for use in untreated rooms or noisy environments, so a very forgiving choice if you are recording or streaming from a room you cannot treat for sound. To some extent this would be true of any dynamic mic, but this has a large diaphragm to capture a full rendition of your voice and rejects lots of sound from the sides and behind. Naturally the Procaster will work better with some voices than others e.g. I'm not a singer, but if I were I'd be a light tenor. I use some breathing exercises so I am speaking from my diaphragm and not my throat, which would have a more constricted sound. So while this mic is good out of the box, you can also learn to sound better on it e.g. finding the sweet spot in terms of distance. BTW if you literally just want to record straight onto your computer and avoid all XLR type stuff then there is the Rode Podcaster, which is basically the same mic but with USB and a socket for your headphones. XLR mics give you more options for the future, but I appreciate some people might want to just plug it in and record.
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

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi what kind of setup/equipment do I need for the microphone to work. Bit of a noob when it comes to this??**
A: Hi, you dont need a mixer. Use the mic with a XLR connection, focusrite scarlet 212 then plug that into the back of the computer and your good to go. Exactly the setup I use

**Q: Does this microphone come with a XLR cable?**
A: No, you have to buy the XLR cable separately. Great mic, though.

**Q: Will i need to Purchase anything else or can i literally plug it into my computer and use it?**
A: You will need an audio interface with an XLR in with a lot of gain (it's a dynamic mic, so it will need a lot of clean gain), something like a GoXLR Mini.    
If you want a hassle free microphone that just plugs into your computer, go for the Rode Podcaster or Rode NT-USB.

**Q: Would you really need a Pop filter for this microphone even though it's got a built in one?**
A: Hi Matthew,Thanks for your e-mail.The microphone is a dynamic and designed for podcast use. If you are planning to use it for a clear speaking recording then the built in one will be OK. If you want to use it for singing then a pop filter will always benefit you from the unwanted frequencies.I hope this helps. If you need anything else then just let us know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The microphone that punches above its weight class! Sturdy, great quality and stylish.
*by B***N on 1 March 2021*

I couldn’t be happier with this microphone. I choose to use this microphone over the SM7B which should speak volumes about how much I like to Rode Procaster! This microphone has excellent build quality and has the heft to back it up, this microphone is much heavier than most people might be used to, reassuringly so! It also comes with an excellent leather padded carry/storage case as well as a 7 year warranty. The top of the microphone screws off which will allow you to access the internal pop/wind shield which slides over the top of the capsule, shielding it from pops and “plosives”. Although it has to be said when speaking up close it does leave a bit to be desired, and as you can see in my photos I have opted to use a much more substantial cover. One of the great things with buying a Rode microphone is the eco system, Rode makes a shock mount that fits this microphone specifically, a boom arm that is designed to carry the weight of this microphone no problem, external wind/pop shields that will help you improve the performance in different environments... The list goes on. Gone are the days of checking if a random stand or mount fits your mic, Rode has you covered! This microphone for me personally blows the SM7B out of the water, so much so that I sold mine. Out of the box it has a much fuller sound, picking up on more of the low end “bassy” tones in your voice as well as delivering great performance in the middle and highs. This microphone sounds full and bright and is great if you don’t want to have to do “too much” post processing. Of course, the sound can be improved with post processing but this mic needs less than most on the market. The bottom line is that this microphone punches far above its weight and you will often see it compared with microphones 2x-3x it’s price, and it even beats some of them! It has an eco system of compatible accessories behind it AND comes with a 7 year warranty and all microphones are made in Australia!
