The mic is not working. I contacted rode, they took forever to reply. and when they did, they seemed not responding seriously. I was expecting an immediate response with sincere action of replacing the bugged mic. they refer me to their agent in my area which apparently has no clue if they still in business or not. and from my effort to locate them, I could not. after a few weeks, they refer me to another distributor ( in Dubai) which up to this point I got no response from too. very disappointed in rode. I will not give them one star, but the stupid rating in amazon does not allow me to do so.

Absolutely a great microphone. The sound of this mic is great and the only place it really has any trouble is with the highs. You should make sure you have a few things before you get this microphone. This is a very wide microphone and I could barely fit it in the shock mount I had. As well as wide it is VERY HEAVY. If you plan on using a boom arm I would make sure it can handle the weight of it. This as well goes for any stand you use. This microphone does not come with a stand. I would also recommend you get a pop filter or windscreen. It has a built-in pop filter but its really not that good. Other than just needing a few things with this microphone ( Which you would need with any microphone ) it is a very good microphone overall and helps me keep out the noise of cars passing by.

Darn, was not happy at all... VERY muddy when close and too quiet when at a proper distance and even yelling. I have several mics and hardware from Rode and have NEVER had a bad item of any kind from them- EVER! This item was opened when I received it and looks like it was a swap-out from a previous customer fail.... then they tried to pawn it off on me. I'm not impressed by this at all!!! Whatever is going on needs to be addressed ASAP! I have requested a replacement and will update my review.

I am using this microphone for spoken recordings. I have been recording a few courses online with another microphone, and spent a lot of time removing artifacts and struggling with background noise. I purchased this one and started using it, and it's saved me a great amount of time. It picks up FAR less background noise than similar microphones in it's range. Plosives are managed fairly well. I was able to relax the restrictions on where I could record and it's been very helpful. There isn't as much bass in this microphone as I would like, but it's very clear and crisp. I would highly recommend this for the amateur sound editors that still want a polished, nice sound in their recordings.

I've been podcasting on and off since late 2005, and I've had a lot of different mics. I've even had an Electro-Voice RE20, and more recently, an Electro-Voice RE320. I like this mic better. It is so easy to get clean sound out of this mic, and to not get the fuzziness and scratchy sibilance I was getting with the more expensive RE320. It's just dead silent when I'm not speaking, and when I am speaking, it's clean and clear and not at all fuzzy or noisy. I think you could probably get the same sound with the RE320 if you had it going through a very clean and powerful interface, but it wasn't happening for me, and I tried two different preamp/mixer combinations and a Shure X2U as well. Granted, I don't have thousands of dollars to spend on really good equipment. It's just clean and clear and sounds great. The true test was when I guested on another podcast and heard how good I sounded even recorded over Skype. It sounded great. With my previous mic, even if I sounded fine in my own recordings, I always sounded terrible on everyone else's, but with this mic, it just sounds good. On the Mac, you will have to crank the input volume for this mic up quite a bit. I have mine set to 83%, and it sounds quiet on recording before putting it into Logic with my EQ and gain settings. On the other hand, the volume was perfectly fine to others when I have used it on other podcasts or just conversing with people on G+ or Skype. If you're a podcaster, you could buy a bunch of equipment, and maybe you think you want to. But you don't. Unless you're running a ton of inputs into your system, you don't need a mixer, and you don't need a Heil PR 40. All you need is this one mic, and preferably the boom arm and the shockmount. You'll not regret it.

This mic is a HUGE improvement over the one I used before! It's a bit pricey, but it is very good! The reason I picked this mic is because I am a growing YouTuber who was in desperate need of a mic upgrade, and some of the YouTubers I watch most frequently use it and have great sound quality, so I looked into this one. It was well worth the buy!

This is a great microphone, easy to plug, and with excellent quality. I was looking for a microphone to recording e-learning courses, and after so much trial and error, I stumbled accross this microphone. It is very well built, sturdy. The recording is very clear and it is great rejecting background noise (a problem that I had with a Yeti Pro). Five stars.

Initial one purchased had residue from the manufacturing process. RODE immediately offered to replace the part but I had to ultimately return the unit as the volume button couldn't be rotated. Replacement unit works perfectly and overall this is a really good mic.
