Designed specifically for voice recordings, the Rode Procaster is found in many broadcast and dubbing studios and is also popular with podcasters. It is slim in design and equipped with a large dynamic diaphragm for low-noise signal transmission. Thanks to its integrated pop shield, it not only looks smart but also doesn't take up much space in front of the camera or in smaller rooms.
The Rode Procaster works very simply: Plug it in, talk into it, done. Unlike condenser microphones, phantom power isn't necessary. The integrated pop protection eliminates the need for an additional filter in front of the microphone. And due to its electromagnetic shielding, it's also resistent to interference signals and can also be used near other electronics like screens and monitors. Since the frequency response only starts at 75Hz, there is no need for a rumble filter for very low frequencies, which don't occur in speech anyway – all this makes the Rode Procaster a real voice recording specialist.
Whether you're recording voiceovers for film, dubbing videos, putting togething radio plays, or simply making your own podcasts: The Rode Procaster is designed to do just that. The dynamic large-diaphragm microphone with a cardioid pick-up pattern does not require phantom power, which also makes it ideal for mobile applications: There's nothing standing in the way of professional voice recording in any situation.
Founded in Sydney, Australia in 1990, Rode is a specialist in high-quality studio microphones. With its very first in-house, completely Australian-built model, the NT2 large-diaphragm microphone, the company created a classic which is still produced in its current and enhanced version, the NT2-A. An extensive range of studio and live microphones has also been added, regularly updated, and expanded over the years. These new additions include a variety of professional microphones which are designed for video and mobile applications and can be connected directly to SLR cameras or smartphones.
The Rode Procaster is a speech specialist, whether in the studio or on the road. The dynamic large diaphragm, with its narrow angle of incidence, ensures first-class recording quality even in environments with more background noise. In addition, the frequency response is optimised for speech and only starts at 75Hz (see illustration). The built-in pop filter also eliminates the need to set up an additional external filter, saving time and space. All this means that speech and podcasts can be recorded anywhere in high quality.
