Rode Podcaster - dynamic cardioid microphone that combines high-quality sound transmission with the simplicity of USB connectivity, allowing direct recording through a computer without the need for an additional digital interface. The Podcaster processes all internal analog-to-digital conversion, bypassing the on-board sound card of the PC with an 18-bit resolution and a 48 kHz sampling rate A/D converter.
A headphone output located on the microphone body ensures zero-latency monitoring, allowing the user to hear exactly what is being recorded, without delay or echo. The Podcaster features an integrated pop filter designed to minimize explosive sounds that can overload the microphone capsule and distort the audio output.
The microphone is powered via USB and has a status LED to indicate operation. The Podcaster is ideal for podcasting, vodcasting, YouTube videos, voice recognition software, corporate videos, and any production application that requires a simple yet professional microphone. It is also a convenient microphone for musicians and composers who prefer the comfort of a USB microphone but do not want to compromise on sound quality.
