Rode Podcaster USB Broadcast Microphone ecord high-quality vocals for podcasts and voice-over work right to computers with the RODE Podcaster, a USB microphone designed to sound great in home studio and mobiles setup. If all you have is a room and a computer, you can use this microphone to record your voice with professional resolution and clarity.
Podcasters will appreciate the cardioid polar pattern—which naturally reduces room noise by rejecting any audio to the back and rear of the mic’s capsule—as well as the built-in pop filter to minimize p-pops and plosives. The mic comes with a USB cable and a standmount, so you can set it up right out of the box.

The RØDE Podcaster is a dynamic, end-address USB microphone that combines broadcast-quality audio with the simplicity of USB connectivity, allowing recording direct to a computer without the need for an additional digital interface.
Including an audiophile quality 18-bit resolution, 48kHz sampling A/D converter, the Podcaster processes all of the analogue-to-digital conversion internally, bypassing the computer’s lower quality on-board sound controller altogether.
A headphone output on the microphone body provides zero-latency monitoring, so the user can hear exactly what is being recorded, free of delay or echo.
The Podcaster features an internal pop filter, designed to minimise plosives 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 several Linux distributions. The microphone is bus powered and features a status LED to indicate operation.
The Podcaster is ideal for podcasting, vodcasting, YouTube videos, voice recognition software, corporate videos and any production application that requires a simple yet professional voice-over microphone. It is also a convenient demo microphone for musicians and songwriters that prefer the convenience of a USB microphone but don’t want to compromise sound quality.
It can also be used as an iPad microphone for the Apple iPad (in conjunction with the iPad Camera Connection Kit and a powered USB hub) to provide high quality recording to various iPad audio applications such as Garageband.
The Podcaster includes a sturdy RM2 microphone ring mount. For professional applications the optional PSM1 shock mount and PSA1 boom arm are highly recommended.
The RØDE Podcaster USB microphone is designed and made in Australia, and covered by RØDE Microphones’ industry leading 10 year warranty.
Great Sound for Your Pordcasts
Perfect for recording podcasts or voice-overs on your computer, the mic offers a clear and present sound.
Works with Your Setup
The mic will operate with both Mac and Windows computers. No preamp, interface, converters, or mixer are necessary for recording your voice.
Directional Polar Pattern for Home Use
The mic has a cardioid polar pattern to tamp down any extraneous room noise. This directional polar pattern is a great choice if you’re working out of an untreated room. The dynamic capsule can also be said to aid in minimizing room noise as it’s less sensitive to noise compared to a condenser microphone.
Built-In 3.5mm Headphone Jack
The mic offers a headphone jack for monitoring. Just plug a pair of headphones into the headphone jack, and you’ll be able to listen to your pro-quality audio in all its glory. Also, a convenient volume dial helps you raise or lower the headphone volume—you won’t have to change the volume on your computer or your recording software to hear audio at your desired level.
Professional Audio Capture
This USB mic boasts a 96 kHz/24-bit converter, so you’ll be able to record audio with the same specifications of a professional recording studio.
Simple to Set Up
Just plug the mic into your computer’s USB port with the attached cable, select it as a device in your recording software, and you’re ready to get to work. The mic runs off your device’s power, so no need to plug it into a wall.
Thoughtful Appointments
An included USB cable means you can get up and running right away. An integrated pop filter helps mitigate vocal pops and plosives for a cleaner sound. A ring mount for a mic stand is also included.
