Recommended Podcast/Streaming Microphone
For the price, you get a very flexible microphone that is equally suitable for podcasting and streaming (in my experience). Especially in the lower frequency range, the microphone adds some bass.
I have been using it daily for almost 2 years and have not noticed any deterioration. RODE quality :)Pro

Very good, but wrong use
This is a very good microphone, I can't complain at all.
My only problem is that I didn't do enough good research on what kind of microphone I need. I really only need it to talk to friends and not for anything minimally professional. I find for what I use it for, a condenser mic would have been better.
But if you need it for podcasts for example it is a very cheap microphone.
Conclusion: Very good and inexpensive microphone, which was bought for the wrong activities.Pro
- Manufacturer quality
- Audio quality
- Weight
Awesome
Very good quality, great build, very good recording quality. I would not expect anything less from a Rode microphone.
Hammer quality

TOP!
even a tick better than the podmic, highly recommended, awesome mic for this price
The best all-rounder in the price range
High-quality but heavy microphone. I got three of them for a podcast and possibly a live event setup. The black bag is nice and simple and can be used as protection during transport. It is also very pleasing that Rode includes a few small auxiliary tools, such as a blue ring for attaching non-standard mic cable sizes (I didn't need it) and a sachet that absorbs the humidity in the bag.
The microphone is set at a low level and can filter background noise very well (such as key noise, fan) depending on the positioning. I use it in combination with a Zoom H6 and, to my delight, I didn't have to set the control very high - so I don't currently need a pre-amp for the microphone.
A pop filter is recommended, even though the microphone can handle plosives relatively well.Pro
- Background noise filter
- Clear, high quality recordings
Contra
- Heavy microphone
- Anti-pop filter recommended

I use it with goxlr and it's great for streaming and podcasting!
One of the best microphones I ever had
One of the best microphones I ever had. I' m currently using it for amateur podcasting and streaming and it's amazing. This microphone is very quiet by design, you'll need a really good pre-amp for it. I'm using a TritonAudio FetHead as pre-amp and a Komplete Audio 6 as Audio Interface.
I previously had a Audio Technica AT2020+ and it was really trivial to silence the mechanical keyboard while streaming. With Røde Procaster that is not an issue anymore, the keyboard is completely silent and the voice is recorded well.
Also really easy to setup.Pro
- Very solid and heavy manifacture
- Amazing audio quality
- Easy to setup
Contra
- Really quiet by design. Requires a pre amp or a really good mixer/audio interface high on gain
Very good microphone for a good price
Good and stable microphone for a reasonable price.
It has a robust construction, but it is also heavy, so not every microphone arm can be used with it.
However, I was never able to get a satisfactory sound for my voice, but that's probably more down to me, as I have no idea how to set up mixers properly and well.
It's certainly more than good enough to start with for YouTube videos or as a podcast microphone!Pro

Price performance is right
A Cloudlifter is advantageous. gives +25 dB and lets the background noise drasstisch reduce. The plosive problem is really negligible with a pop filter. Hard to beat in terms of price-performance. I can definitely recommend.

Top price performance
In Corona times, where everyone is in the home office and have poor webcam or headset microphones, this microphone is a real listener. Super sound, you can hardly hear the kids in the other room (cardioid characteristic, dynamic microphone). However, you need a good amplifier. Is for the simple home office perhaps overkill, but I can also record my university courses with high sound quality so as a video or sometimes a commentary, even if the room is not treated with acoustic foam. Top for the price.
Pro
- Good sound
- Good price
Contra
- Needs like all dynamic Miks very much gain
Good Mic
Pro

Use 2 Procaster with a Zoom H5. Top combination!

There is a reason why every second streamer uses the thing
We have two of these microphones for livestreams, online workshops, videos, podcasts etc. on the same mixer and use them sitting next to each other. The sound is simply great and setting them up was extremely easy - although the praise should perhaps go more to the mixing console.
The only drawback is that they weigh too much. Most of the microphone arms come under a lot of stress.Pro
- Good sound
- Very easy to mix
- Looks extremely valuable
Contra
- Probably weighs more than a toddler
Purchase recommendation
I would have needed another but that was on me and not the microphone. This one does what it should in good quality for the price. Very heavy but good. Unfortunately a preamp is almost mandatory if you don't want to turn the gain to the limit.
Pro
- Price/Performance
- Design
Contra
- Preamp recommended
- Heavy
Very good microphone for streaming/podcasting. Excellent noise cancellation (e.g. keyboard) when placed correctly.
The microphone massively suppresses background noise (which originates, for example, UNDER the microphone head). So if there is a mouth in front and a mechanical keyboard behind the microphone, the keyboard should not be heard, while the voice is transmitted 100%.
Good and inexpensive
Unpacked, plugged in and worked wonderfully with the mixer.
The integrated pop shield is not bad, but you can attach an additional one so that the pop sounds are filtered even better.Pro
- Price/Performance
- Processing
Contra
- Pop protection should be improved a little
Dynamic microphone for podcasting
The sound is great, gives the voice a bit more volume, especially at the bottom.
The workmanship is great and the microphone is very solidly built.
In general, I can't say anything negative about it, as the price is anything but too high.Pro

- Price
- Solidly built
Are you off the phone? Barely audible
This is the first question my friends in the conference discord asked me.
Used with Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd gen interface. Everything creaks, hisses.
