Rode PodCaster MKII

Rode PodCaster MKII | Micro for streaming

The RØDE Podcaster is a dynamic, end-direction USB microphone that combines broadcast-quality audio with the simplicity of USB connectivity, allowing direct recording to a computer without the need for an additional digital interface.

Including a 48kHz sampling A/D converter and 18-bit audio quality, the Podcaster internally processes all analog-to-digital conversion, bypassing the computer's low-quality built-in sound driver entirely.

The headphone output on the microphone body provides zero-latency monitoring, so the user can hear exactly what is being recorded, without lag or echo.

The Podcaster features an internal pop filter, designed to minimize plosive sounds that can overload the microphone capsule and distort the audio output.

It is fully compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X computers, as well as various Linux distributions. The microphone is bus-powered and has a status LED to indicate operation.

The Podcaster is ideal for podcasts, vodcasting, YouTube videos, speech recognition software, corporate videos, and any production application that requires a simple yet professional voice microphone. It's also a convenient demo microphone for musicians and composers who prefer the convenience of a USB microphone but don't want to compromise on sound quality.

It can also be used as an iPad microphone for the Apple iPad (along with the iPad Camera Connection Kit and a powered USB hub) to provide high-quality recording to various iPad audio apps, such as Garageband.

The Podcaster includes a robust RM2 microphone ring stand. For professional applications, the optional PSM1 shock mount and PSA1 arm arm are strongly recommended.
