Røde Microfono Podcaster Mkii

So happy with this mic exceeds expectations!! Highly recommended

Needed low maintenance, easy to use, great quality mic. This is just right.

Solid, durable, great sound and easy to set up. The sound is very, very good. Honestly, a more expensive micmight give you a bit richer sound but I'm very glad I didnot pay for more. This all that I need. USB plug is so convenient. I really recommend it

I was using the AT2020 and it's a great mic but the problem with it is that it would pickup so much of the room causing me to work harder editing my voice overs. I wanted a mic that was a dynamic mic so I would have to talk into the front of it to get my voice and be less likely to pickup anything else. The RODE Podcaster is that mic. Did I mention I wanted it to be a USB mic. I know you can do so much more with XLR mic's but for what we do a really good USB mic does the trick beyond well. The RODE has a builtin pop filter or at least most dynamic mic's do but I would still invest in getting a third party one as I noticed it truly helps out the audio. It's hard to find a good one for the RODE so to make things easy for you all the one I'm using is the BSW RE320POP in black. It's perfect for this mic.

As a seasoned podcaster, it is always great to find a solid usb mic. The sound quality is fantastic and raising the audio quality of my show.
