A Quality Recording and Broadcast Mic

As its name suggests, the RODE Procaster microphone was specifically designed for recording and brodcast applications where wide frequency response and low distortion are demanded. It's an analog, pro version of the RODE Podcaster with an XLR conector.

RODE Procaster Microphone at a Glance:

Quality mic based on Broadcaster design
The RODE Procaster is based on their popular Broadcaster microphone - winner of the Radio World/US National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) "What's Cool" award. The Broadcaster has become an industry standard when studio sound quality is required for on-air applications.

Tailored-for-voice frequency response plus high-pass filter
The Procaster offers an end-address configuration, the clarity of RODE's tailored-for-voice frequency response and, of course, very low self noise. The microphone offers a switchable high-pass filter.

RODE Procaster Microphone Features:
  • Dynamic mic with XLR connection
  • Ultra-low noise
  • Cardioid polar pattern with high 180-degree rejection

Great Broadcast vocal mic

by Patrick from Florida
January 23, 2010
Music Background: Hobbyist, Podcaster, MI Sales
This is a great mic for the price. Well worth the money and can fit most podcasters budgets. I disagree with the last review, this mic doesn't need "A LOT of gain" if you have a good interface. Cheap ... read more [+]interfaces like the M-Audio Fast Track series don't have great preamp circuits and as a result need more gain on the signal. So if you are planing on getting this mic with a $70 interface you can expect lower quality, over gained results. However if you put this through a decent interface of a similar level of quality then you will be very happy with the results. I have used this on a Presonus FireStudio as well as a Mbox2 Pro with no need to crank the gain up. I was also lucky enough to have the opportunity to use this on a Presonus ADL600 at a friends studio and was amazed at how clear and accurate the mic was on a higher end Tube Preamp. Moral of the story, don't sell yourself short by getting this and a cheap interface. You would be better served by the Rode Podcaster if your budget is $300 for mic and interface. Get a good interface and the Rode Procaster and be happy! close [-]

Great mic for Podcasting, broadcasting and training videos, but needs lots of gain!

by David from Ashland, Oregon
November 20, 2009
Music Background: Training video creator, podcaster, avid recording engineer
this is a a great mic for voice recording. It does an amazing job of rejecting side and back ground noise. The only problem is that it requires A LOT of gain to get a usable signal into the computer... read more [+]. I've paired it with an ART TupeMP with USB. I have to set the gain to max, add the additional 20db of boost and then set the output to 90%! But, when I do the sound is amazing. I have a dull voice normally, but this combination brings my voice way out in front, adds definition, presence and clarity. Though, at that point there is a bit of noise and ambient bleed that a little broadband noise reduction clears away easily. I've tried a dozen condensers and lavalieres and the Procaster is by far the best for voicecasting into a computer in a not-so-perfect sound environment (noisy fans, traffic outside, etc.) It delivers what Rode claims. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
The Rode Procaster is my new favorite microphone for heavy metal and rock vocals. I was very happy with the way the Procaster handled all of the frequencies in my voice and it really cut through a mix that contained synths, heavy guitar, bass, and drums. Designed for broadcast, great for metal!

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
