8kHz〜の高音がシャリシャリしすぎずスムーズな音です。かといって音像が緩いわけでもなくパキッとした印象。ただし、ダイナミックマイクなのでマイクプリのゲインをかなり上げてやらないと音量を稼げません。Apogee Duet3のマイクプリに接続し、口から10cmくらい離して、普通の会話の声量で話すと60dB程度ゲインをあげて-12dBになるくらいでした。ご参考までに。

Arkadaşlar hem youtube videolarımda hem de canlı yayınlarımda kullanıyorum. Mükemmel ötesi bir mükrefen, aşk yaşıyorum bu mikrofonla. Rode kalitesi kendini belli ediyor. Hem malzeme kalitesi hem ses kalitesi harika. Bundan daha pahalı bir mikrofona gerek yok, iyi bir ses kartı ve xlr kablo ile kombinleyin yeter. Rode’un kendi xlr kablosunu aldım yanına da bir adet Audient Mk2 id4 aldım. Mükemmel kombin tavsiye ederim. Belki ilerde bir tane fethead alırım ondan emin değilim.

I've been streaming with this microphone for 2 and a half years and I always get comments on how good my audio is. Excellent audio quality for a fraction of the price of high end mics.

I was using the Audio Technica AT2020 condenser mic for quite some time. While it is a very good microphone, it was very sensitive in picking up my background noise. I needed a dynamic mic that would only capture just my voice with very little to possibly no background noise. I read up on the Procaster and thought, even though it's a microphone that has been available for quite some time, it looks to be the mic that I needed. And that it was! First impressions, the mic is built like a truck. Solid metal casing, nice grilles along the top end, and even though I have no experience with any high end or expensive studio microphones, I just knew the procaster would meet my expectations based on the construction. Not only is it built solidly, but it has some serious weight to it. It's about 1.5 to 1.7 lbs, so my cheap boom arm was not going to handle it.I have read that you need a cloudlifter or some sort of preamp to use with the mic, which is somewhat true. The input or sound is very low. However, I didn't need one as the mixer I have had more than enough preamp ability to provide sufficient gain to the mic. If you have a mixer with a good preamp, then you don't need to spend the extra money for an additional preamp. The procaster is exactly what I needed. It captures my voice (which is deeper) extremely well. Most notably, it does not pick up much of the background noise that my AT2020 would. Perfect! I just had to adjust to keeping my mouth near the mic to maintain sound. It comes with a built in pop filter, which I can confirm works great. I could use the foam pop filter I had lying around, but the mic just looks sexier without it. It does not need any phantom power to work either since it is a dynamic microphone!The mic came in a nice leather pouch, with an adapter and some docs in the box. I was very please to see that I could register and get the 10 year warranty for the mic. 10 years! That tells me RODE is confident in their products. Overall, the quality, the performance, and price, just outstanding across the board!When I need additional equipment, RODE will be the very first in line for my business!

The sound is buttery and rich; miles ahead of the $65 generic USB mic. 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!

I love this mic. I need to figure out how to balance out the sound and get rid of the high end canniness via my Personus software, but the quality is killer and the canniness is expected. When I throw the audio on Garage Band, I can select different voice options which automatically balances out the sound and gets rid of the high end reverb. It's so crisp. Still learning Personus.I record out of my garage. My garage door and walls have insulation, but you can still hear traffic outside to some extent in my garage. Dog barks inside the house on occasion, but the mic doesn't pick up any of that sound whatsoever. I also try to record later in the evening and put the dog in the back of the house. So that has helped. I plan to buy one more Procaster for interviewing and other dual recording options.It's definitely high quality. It's a heavy mic. You don't need the RODE boom stand for it. You can buy a cheaper version. it screws in just fine and comes with it's own adapter screw adapter. I did get the Rode PSM 1 Shockmount though. I also use a Berhringer Uphoria UMC404hd preamp with Monoprice Gold tipped balanced 6ft XLR cables. I also use Personus Studio One for Mac (has PC option). This is the best price set up that maintained quality that I could find.The built-in pop filter works really well, but I have decided to buy an additional pop filter for it since it can still pick up a few plosives.Rode Procaster sounds AWESOME even on Garage Band. You won't regret getting it if you need a high quality Dynamic Mic.

Like many podcasters out there I've been using the AT2020 Condenser microphone, complete with a shockmount and pop filter for over a year now. I've had great success with it, however the environmental noise has always been a constant battle, even echo from my own voice within the environment.Looking at the Rode Procaster I was concerned that because it wasn't a mic that required phantom power that it wouldn't be able to pick up all the intricateness of vocals during a session. I was wrong. The Rode Procaster sounds amazing, even without a tube preamp or compression being utilized.The first test I performed on the Procaster was simple. I kept it in the same recording environment as my AT2020, but I made sure the dryer was running in the laundry room and my surround sound in the living room was playing as well. My Procaster, thanks to the tight cardoid pickup pattern, couldn't pick up the noise from the other rooms. I would have those turned off and my AT2020 would still pickup noise from the air conditioning or even the fridge running. Don't be alarmed when switching from a condenser to the Rode Procaster, or any dynamic mic for that matter. You will have to crank the gain up a lot more than what you have before.If you are constantly battling poor acoustics or environmental noise and you want a professional broadcast quality sound, this mic is the one you want.Pros:-Solid Construction. It's built like a tank.-Comes with a 1 year warranty, free upgrade to 10 Year warranty through rodemic.com-Mic Stand clip is also solid.-Sound quality is amazing.-Noise reduction is unmatched.-Very Low self-noise (less than any other mic I've used yet, including the MXL 007 USB, AT2020 USB, AT2020 XLR).-Looks professional.-Nice pouch included for transport.Con:-No bundles yet available to include a shockmountOh and one last thing, when was the last time you bought a mic and saw a handwritten quality checklist in the box? Amazing attention to detail and quality from Rode Microphones. Highly recommended.
