Solid Broadcast Mic for Streaming and Podcasting
The Rode Procaster is a solid, high quality broadcast dynamic microphone, especially if you are on a budget and want something that gets you close to a Shure SM7B without paying SM7B money. With a bit of EQ, this mic sounds clean, professional, and very well balanced. I have been using it as my daily driver since I bought it and I could not be happier with it. It handles vocals really well, rejects background noise nicely with some extra EQ , and has a nice warm broadcast sound that really makes your voice pop in recordings. Once you phone that it in, it easily holds up in general content creation and podcasting. This was a clear step up from the Rode PodMic for me both in sound and overall presence. If you want to look and sound more professional without jumping straight to the SM7B price range, the Procaster is an excellent choice and still feels like a long term mic you will not outgrow quickly.

Rode Procaster vs EV RE20
I just bought this mic and put it to the test over the past weekend. The bottom line is that to my ear, it compares favorably to my EV RE20, for a lot less money than the RE20 cost. Both mics have robust builds, and are clearly meant for heavy duty usage. Both deliver good clear sound that is well suited for vocals. I use both of these mics primarily for voiceover, and I do not detect a lot of difference between the 2. The EV might be just a tiny bit stronger in the upper mid range, but as I said, I can't hear a great deal of difference. If you're in a noisy room as many of us are, you are really better off with a quality dynamic mic such as either of these, because they do a great job of rejecting outside and room noise. Both mics do need a fair amount of boost, and you will need a pre-amp for either one in order to get good sound. I recorded both mics through my Zoom H4N recorder, as well as direct to my computer via my PreSonus Audiobox interface, and in both cases, the sound is excellent. In short, I don't think you would miss with either of these great mics. The EV RE20 is of course, a tried and true standard in radio stations around the world, so you just can't go wrong with one of those. However, if you're on a tight budget, I can recommend that you consider the Rode as an outstanding mic for a lot less money. In short, I love both of these great mics, and if you're looking for a good podcasting, broadcasting, or voiceover mic, I don't think you'll regret the purchase of either of them.

Love this MIC
I was looking for a sturdy well built dynamic studio mic. My studio is in an open family room in my house so all ambient noise was drastically interfering with my podcast/radio shows. So i wanted a dynamic mic. I was torn between this and the RE20. The RE20 is what my station uses in their booths and it is an industry favorite. However, at the time i was not ready to spend and additional $200. I chose this RODE procaster and I am so happy I did. It is as well built as our station mics and the sound is crisp and clear... and best of all the ambient noise is no longer an issue. I like the way it sounds on my home setup more than our studio setup. And much cheaper than the RE20. It does not require phantom power but on my Mackie mixer it did take a lot of gain to get the volume and output i wanted. So i opted for a FetHead inline booster. I run phantom power to my mic to get a good signal boost and the FetHead filters out the 48v Phantom. This allowed me to reduce my gain to almost nothing and still get loud clean sound. And much easier than a cloud booster. I have since added three more Procasters to my home studio so I can have guests on my radio show and podcast directly at my home. Forewarning though, it is heavy and so I would recommend a solid boom arm, not a cheap brand, and use the shock mounts built for RODE mics. 100% satisfied with this product.

By far, the best microphone I have purchased
I was using the Audio Technica AT2020 condenser mic for quite some time. While it is a very good microphone, it was very sensitive in picking up my background noise. I needed a dynamic mic that would only capture just my voice with very little to possibly no background noise. I read up on the Procaster and thought, even though it's a microphone that has been available for quite some time, it looks to be the mic that I needed. And that it was! First impressions, the mic is built like a truck. Solid metal casing, nice grilles along the top end, and even though I have no experience with any high end or expensive studio microphones, I just knew the procaster would meet my expectations based on the construction. Not only is it built solidly, but it has some serious weight to it. It's about 1.5 to 1.7 lbs, so my cheap boom arm was not going to handle it. I have read that you need a cloudlifter or some sort of preamp to use with the mic, which is somewhat true. The input or sound is very low. However, I didn't need one as the mixer I have had more than enough preamp ability to provide sufficient gain to the mic. If you have a mixer with a good preamp, then you don't need to spend the extra money for an additional preamp. The procaster is exactly what I needed. It captures my voice (which is deeper) extremely well. Most notably, it does not pick up much of the background noise that my AT2020 would. Perfect! I just had to adjust to keeping my mouth near the mic to maintain sound. It comes with a built in pop filter, which I can confirm works great. I could use the foam pop filter I had lying around, but the mic just looks sexier without it. It does not need any phantom power to work either since it is a dynamic microphone! The mic came in a nice leather pouch, with an adapter and some docs in the box. I was very please to see that I could register and get the 10 year warranty for the mic. 10 years! That tells me RODE is confident in their products. Overall, the quality, the performance, and price, just outstanding across the board! When I need additional equipment, RODE will be the very first in line for my business!

Best Decision I Made for a First Mic
I love this mic. I need to figure out how to balance out the sound and get rid of the high end canniness via my Personus software, but the quality is killer and the canniness is expected. When I throw the audio on Garage Band, I can select different voice options which automatically balances out the sound and gets rid of the high end reverb. It's so crisp. Still learning Personus. I record out of my garage. My garage door and walls have insulation, but you can still hear traffic outside to some extent in my garage. Dog barks inside the house on occasion, but the mic doesn't pick up any of that sound whatsoever. I also try to record later in the evening and put the dog in the back of the house. So that has helped. I plan to buy one more Procaster for interviewing and other dual recording options. It's definitely high quality. It's a heavy mic. You don't need the RODE boom stand for it. You can buy a cheaper version. it screws in just fine and comes with it's own adapter screw adapter. I did get the Rode PSM 1 Shockmount though. I also use a Berhringer Uphoria UMC404hd preamp with Monoprice Gold tipped balanced 6ft XLR cables. I also use Personus Studio One for Mac (has PC option). This is the best price set up that maintained quality that I could find. The built-in pop filter works really well, but I have decided to buy an additional pop filter for it since it can still pick up a few plosives. Rode Procaster sounds AWESOME even on Garage Band. You won't regret getting it if you need a high quality Dynamic Mic.

A great mic, just be sure to combine it with the right interface
Much of the choice of a microphone goes through personal taste so what I can say is that the construction is incredible, made to last, definitely. It seems to me that the sound is quite clear and flat, which makes it very versatile for many types of voice, that is what it is made for. The proximity effect is notorious and although with good vocal technique and the wind / antipop screen you can avoid plosives and other noises, the ideal scenario is to use an antipop filter. The noise level it generates is very controlled as well and with an interface with a good amount of gain it can be used with great sound quality. At the beginning I used it with a focusrite scarlet 2i2 3rd gen, the gain should be close to 95% which introduced extra noise, although very usable and clean. I had to return that interface (faulty unit) and acquired a Motu M2 and the microphone now really has more gain room and the noise is even lower, it is definitely a great combination. I noticed two things in internet: One of the pins of the mic is larger than the others. In the Rode FAQ website you can see that this is normal. Is the ground pin and is made in that way to guarantee that this pin connects first and protect the mic. Some people show the pins being pulled of after removing the XLR connector. To avoid that, before connect the cable, just be sure that the bolt in the little hole near of the connector is tight enough.

Great mic with that broadcast sound.
I decided on this mic for my podcast after looking at numerous reviews of this and other mics. I was using the Samson Q2U which is a great mic also. The Procaster is a step up in quality. It is built very well and should last a very long time. It rejects room noise better than the Q2U and cuts down on the sibilance and "pops" that I was experiencing. The 10 year warranty is a plus also. Get a fethead or similar for this mic as it is gain hungry. For the price, it is the closest you'll get to the big boys ie Shure SM7b or EV RE20.

Perfect for Voice Over
I used to record using AT2020USB+ which suffer from capturing a lot of background noise. I have home studio, which is not perfectly noise proof. I have no other option but to buy a dynamic mic to improve sound quality and reduce background noise. I am really happy to pick Rode Procaster to be my next mic to record my voice over. This is a next level sound quality for sure, where I wish I bought it long before. It is crispy clear when you use it correctly. This mic is gain hungry. You need to use pre-amplifier to reach full potential, I am using Triton FetHead. the gain Level is around 60% in my interface, which require 48V phantom power to be able to use the FetHead. The gain level in my MAC Mini is 90%. Please don't use free DAW like Audacity. Yes it is a good software, but for next level please use more functional DAW like REAPER. It is a much better solution for better sound results. Pros: 1. Crispy clear especially once used with pre-amplifier like FetHead. 2. Cheaper than competitors with same results. Cons: 1. Really heavy, my Mic stand need to be very tightened to hold it. I recommend this mic to anyone looking to record voice over especially if your studio is not perfectly sound proof. If you want to reach a next level of sound quality, go ahead and buy it with pre-amplifier. You will never regret it.
