PODCASTER RØDE 

The RØDE Podcaster is a dynamic, end-address USB microphone that combines broadcast-quality audio with the simplicity of USB connectivity, allowing recording directly to a computer without the need for an additional digital interface. Incorporating a high quality A/D converter with 18-bit, 48kHz sampling resolution, the Podcaster handles all analogue-to-digital conversion internally, completely bypassing the computer's inferior quality on-board sound card. A headphone output on the microphone housing provides zero-latency monitoring, so the user can hear exactly what is being recorded, free from delay or echo.

The Podcaster features an internal pop filter, designed to minimise pops that can overload the microphone capsule and distort the audio output. The Podcaster is ideal for podcasting, YouTube videos, speech recognition software, corporate videos and any production application that needs a simple but professional voice-over microphone. It is also a handy demo microphone for musicians and songwriters 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 (in combination with the iPad Camera Connection Kit and a powered USB hub) to make high quality recordings for various iPad audio applications such as Garageband/ The Podcaster comes with a rugged RM2 microphone ring mount. For professional applications the optional PSM1 shock mount and PSA1 boom arm are highly recommended.
