Designed for handheld interview and presentation applications, the Reporter features an omnidirectional dynamic capsule that is designed to allow the user freedom of use, without the technique related issues typical of directional end-address microphones. An affordable electronic news-gathering microphone that still has broadcast quality. Additionally its frequency response has been specially tailored for voice reproduction, to maximise intelligibility and deliver crisp, clear results in almost any condition. The microphone features a durable die-cast aluminium alloy body coated in a discrete matte black anti-glare finish. An innovative multi-layer mesh basket protects the microphone from environmental noise without the need for a bulky and distracting foam wind shield. It is supplied with a removable microphone ˜flag' that can accommodate high-visibility branding. The Reporter is covered by R˜DE's industry-leading support guarantee, with a twelve month warranty ˜out of the box' that is easily increased to ten years free of charge, following online registration of the microphone.

Great mic for it's intended purpose - out on the road interviewing people. Ergonomically friendly and good wind noise suppression - you can happily use outside on a busy street for "street rapportage" style work.I especially like the way that you dont have to swing the mic between people during interviews - just hold it 18 - 24 inches (45 - 60cm) between both parties and let the mics internal magic work to level out the volumes.This is especially good if you are interviewing excited (or excitable!) people - since you wont get the clipping you often see as the mic isn't moved fast enough by the reporter.Paired it up with a TASCAM DR-10X plugged straight into he end and one AAA battery at the start of the day should see you through a full days interviewing.

Too bad. The microphone makes a good impression, but unfortunately it was DOA.We live in Costa Rica and we send all things via freight forwarders, so we have no return option. Almost $ 200 (including freight and import costs) for a defective microphone is too much.By the way, Made in China, not Australia.

Habe es bei Wind und Kälte erprobt und finde es prima. Ich bin kein Audio-Spezialist, sondern setze es "rough and dirty" für meist ungeschnittene Videos am Handy ein. Ich mag das Teil, weil ich dann besser steuern kann, wer wie lange redet (je nachem, wie lange ich es jemandem unter die Nase halte). Es gibt mittlerweile gute Funk-Lösungen, so dass dieses kabelgebundene Mikrofon etwas für Fans ist. Der Ton ist allerdings wirklich richtig schön, ein bisschen "wie im Studio", nur halt draußen. Der häufig in Rezensionen angesprochene Plastik-Aufsatz ist überhaupt kein Ding, weil er nur aufgesteckt ist — wer ihn nicht braucht, legt ihn einfach zur Seite. Ich raffe das Problem nicht. Wer seinen Kanal als Aufkleber darauf anbringen möchte, kann es aber tun, ist doch super. Das Mikrofon hat Stürze auf Steinboden ohne Schrammen überlebt. Der Ton ist einwandfrei, nochmal, ohne, dass ich Audio-Experte bin. Ich habe es auch mit Masken (Corona) verwendet, funktionierte gut. Es bewährt sich besonders, wenn die kleinen Anklips-Mikrofone vom selben Anbieter (die ich auch habe) entweder (a) rasch leer sind oder (b) gegen Kleidung rascheln, was leider beides oft passiert.

Este RØDE Reporter es perfecto para entrevistas en ambientes ruidosos, ya que no registra el ruido de fondo y su patrón de sensibilidad omnidireccional hace que no sea necesario estarlo moviendo entre entrevistador y entrevistado todo el tiempo. No es barato, pero vale cada centavo que cuesta y la calidad de la marca australiana jamás defrauda.La bandera incluida para poner un logotipo o marca es extraña (sin ir más lejos) pero al final es funcional y cumple bien su trabajo. Un micrófono especializado para hacer entrevistas y de gran calidad.

I've always been a fan of RODE mics and have many of them. I needed to do live video streaming interviews at a trade show and these Reporter mics looked exactly like what I needed. I was not disappointed. In fact, I was quite surprised at the richness and quality of the audio they produce.Very tight pick-up patterns pick up voices beautifully without needing to put a mic in someone's face. Great noise rejection for ambient noise but not too much so that it sounds dead. It's a perfect blend of vocal clarity and pleasant ambience. For the price, we got two of them with no regrets. Love these mics!

Great mic! It looks and feels nice in the hand. The build in wind cut feature is so good, you can be standing outside on a windy day and not hear a thing. To hear wind you have to blow into the mic pretty hard. That being said, the sound quality is top notch and it picks up great. The Reporter is an omnidirectional mic, which is great for interviews, especially when you forget to aim your normal cardioid mic toward your subject. It's long enough to put a mic flag on the shaft, since you really don't want to use the goofy and awkward looking top mounted flag that comes with the mic.I use this mic with a Sennheiser SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter, and the sound is fantastic. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

I've been using this microphone for interviews at trade shows. For the price, it's quite good. It does a nice job at isolating the voices of the interviewer and the subject. It picks up enough environmental noise that the sound isn't sterile, but I wish it picked up a bit less. After 18 months of use in sometimes rugged conditions, it has proven to be quite durable.The included microphone flag is ugly and useless for my purposes. I can't see many people making use of it. I wish Rode included a bunch of windscreens instead. That would have been a much more useful accessory.While there are microphones that sound better, the ones that I know of cost at least twice as much as the Rode Reporter. For the price, it's a good choice for run-and-gun interviews.

This is a great mic for conferences or events. As the name implies this Mic is great for reporters. We used it on the show floor at CES and you can't hear the crowd. It was actually kind of disconcerting how well it picked up the voices of the personalities, and how little of the conference you heard.The XLR fitting requires a different cable if you are going to plug this in to your DSLR, but if you have a P2 camera, most of those are set up for XLR.

This is an excellent and sleek mic. Great frequency range and has a good pickup range as well. Unlike those types that fall off a few inches from the face. The mic flag is totally awkward though, it sits above the mic itself and in the way. I recommend you buy a standard mic flag that goes around the mic itself and is out-of-the-way.
