Perfect for Interviews, ENG, and Presentations
The Reporter handheld microphone maintains RODE's solid reputation for providing creative solutions for recording and sound-reinforcement challenges. For starters, it's an omnidirectional dynamic microphone — something that we rarely see here at Sweetwater. This configuration makes the Reporter ideal for several specific applications. It's the perfect mic for electronic news gathering, interviews, broadcasting/podcasting, and presentations. What's more, the RODE Reporter is tough enough for any mobile rig.

Amazing omnidirectional dynamic performance
The RODE Reporter microphone delivers the best qualities of both a traditional handheld dynamic and the omnidirectional polar pattern, which makes it perfect for most voice recording and presentation uses. In fact, RODE tailored its frequency response specifically for speech. The omni polar pattern means the Reporter captures sound from every angle equally. Position it below your face or between you and the person you're interviewing, and it will capture everything equally. And unlike highly sensitive condenser microphones, the Reporter provides you with the focused range you'd expect from a dynamic mic, so background noise won't ruin your audio.
The best handheld mic for on-screen use
Body-worn lavaliers may be ideal for many on-screen ENG and interview applications, but they are often impractical and take far too long to set up. That's when you need a quality handheld mic like the RODE Reporter. With its slender body and matte-black, anti-glare finish, the visually discreet Reporter is possibly the best handheld mic for the job. Thanks to an integrated multilayer mesh basket, there's no bulky windscreen to catch the eye either. However, if you want to make the most of your visible microphone, then sticking your organization's logo on the included detachable microphone flag is a great way to promote your identity.
Easily withstands the rigors of mobile production
Anyone who's worked in serious electronic news gathering knows your gear is going to take a lot of punishment. It's a result of both regular mobile wear and tear and the need to set up fast enough not to miss the story. This stress is yet another reason to go with a dynamic Reporter microphone, which is far less fragile than a typical condenser mic. Even the outside is coated in an extra-durable finish, which you can keep looking new by storing your Reporter in the included zip case. Top it off with RODE's excellent 10-year warranty, and you never have to worry about your new favorite microphone.
