Review: Amazingly Clear Sound With Hardly Any Background Noise And No Need To Edit The Sound - Before purchasing this mic I spent a good few days reading reviews of different microphones. I needed it to make video tutorials and do podcasts but I also needed a mic that produced great quality sound out of the box without having to edit it and improve the sound quality. I first bought the Audio Technica AT2020 USB + mic and tested it out. Since my home is on a main road and the sound indoors is not very well insulated the mic was picking up a lot of background noise like cars and buses driving by. In fact it was very sensitive to background noise and I had to turn down the gain quite a bit so much that the recording volume was really low when I played it back. Obviously, I decided that the AT2020 USB + mic was not for me. I then read some more reviews and decided to try out the RODE Podcaster USB mic as I have seen some very successful internet marketers using this mic in their videos. Since it was the priciest out of the USB mics I thought that maybe it's due to the high quality that it is so pricey. In my very first test I was impressed by the RODE Podcaster USB mic as my voice sounded so clear when I listened to the recording and it hardly picked up any background noise (even though there is a lot of background noise in my home). I was also able to turn the gain up to almost 70% without it picking up much background noise. I've only had to test this mic out twice before deciding that this is the mic for me. I know that the price of this mic might put some people off but if you are planning to use a mic a lot for whatever reason then it is worth investing in a good quality mic as it will sound more professional and with this mic you don't have to worry about improving the sound quality after recording (unless you want to of course). It also comes with a 10 year warranty which is incredible.
Review: Fantastic Quality - I'm very impressed with this microphone. This was my first purchase of both a professional standard microphone and a microphone for use in non-studio environments. I wasn't sure as to wheter it would be fit for purpose having seen numerous testing videos, I used it in a convention environment and most testing videos showed it outside on a roof top or somewhere similar, where there was substantial background noise, but quite a distance away. It far out-performed my expectations, not only were my vocals clear but it cut out a lot of the background noise too, the only thing I had to do it post was to split the audio and send it down both channels, this was only because I was using a XLR to 3.5mm jack as my camera only takes 3.5mm audio. XLR records in mono whereas 3.5mm is stereo. But beyond that there was little-to-no post-production required on the audio output by this microphone. I may only use this a few times a year at different expos/conventions I got to, however I'm superbly impressed by its quality and thus would say it is well worth the price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decently happy
*by A***R on 18 May 2017*

I bought the Podcaster as an upgrade from the Blue Yeti I had been using up until now and while I am decently happy with the new mic, it is not the unquestionable upgrade I was hoping for and has actually given me a new found respect for the Yeti. Advantages of the Podcaster: Being a dynamic microphone, the Podcaster is much less sensitive to ambient noise and reverb compared to the Yeti. The slimmer design of the Podcaster means that it can fit standard shock mounts which the Yeti cannot. The built-in pop filter that works pretty well most of the time although it can be overwhelmed if you are very close to the mic. Both microphones are ridiculously heavy and I even had to buy a new boom arm since my old one (which could just about manage the Yeti) could not carry the Podcatser. Disadvantages of the Podcaster: There is no physical gain control knob on the microphone and since it is a USB mic, there is no gain boost option in the windows 10 recording settings. This means that I need to get pretty close to be able to record at the volume I am used to. No physical mute button. Headphone jack is vastly inferior to that of the Yeti. a) it's mono only, playing both channels to both ears at all times and b) it causes a constant and very audible white noise in your headphones (even with the physical volume knob turned to 0 and the volume turned off on the PC). The Podcaster only has one polar pattern while the Yeti can be switched between four different ones. The voice recording quality of both microphones is pretty much the same to my ears. I was expecting to sound better over the Podcaster, given that it boasts about its professional recording quality but to me, this is not the case. Taking all of these factors into account, I think the only advantage that the Podcaster has going for it is that a dynamic mic fits my current needs more than a condenser mic does. The significantly higher price is not justified by the generally inferior versatility and equivalent recording quality compared to the Yeti. Nevertheless, both mics are great and therefore, four stars.
