Customer Review
great sound, great features, built like a tank
For recording my voice (baritone), it does a great job. For extra warmth that means close-miking, which in turn means not popping your p's, etc. If you hold it close to your mouth but don't directly face it end-on, that's easily done (or get a pop filter). [...].The microphone electronics are extremely quiet - the audio is sampled at 18 bits.It comes with a warranty which is easily extended to 10 years for free.The real-time headphone monitoring is a great idea and works well.It's a bit heavy (part of being built like a tank), and you need to think a little about how you're going to mount it, since some cheap desktop stands can barely manage it.Some things to keep in mind are: 1) It likes close-miking (at least for male voices) 2) It is USB-only 3) It is a on the bit large and heavy side.If those don't bother you, and the price is in your range, then you will probably like it a lot.

Surprisingly good -- selling my Heil PR-40 now.
I picked up the R0DE Podcaster a few days ago, and it sounds great -- much better than I expected. I honestly expected it to sound cheesier because it's USB instead of XLR. I made a couple of test recordings and gave them to my wife, who is always saying that I don't sound like myself in my recordings. She said that this is the best-sounding mic I've ever used, and that I sound just like myself. My background in audio is a couple of years in podcasting and some live interviews. Equipment I've used in the past includes the Audio Technica 4033a, Heil Pro PR-40, Symetrix 528e, Zoom H-4, and the M-Audio MobilePre.Pros:Sounds great.Very competitive price when compared to decent XLR mics.Direct to USB (computer sees it as a sound card).Headphone jack built in for direct, live monitoring (huge plus), with volume control (which does not effect recording volume).Allows remote recordings to a laptop (with all the nice...

Heavy
Ok - this is one heavy mic! I'm using it to create podcasts and training video's. The sound quality is excellent - studio quality. I had to purchase to keep it from falling over. The problem is the the mic must mount from the rear, so all the weight is hanging over. I also strongly suggest . It serves a few purposes; 1) it changes the center of gravity when mounting the mic since it attaches to the mic stand in the middle and allows the mic to hang more rearward and it provides a shock absorber. Using it on a MAC with VM - has no issues being recognized by XP and OS X. Overall, very happy with the mic.

The Rode Podcaster is the easiest way to record high quality vocals or audio on your computer and upload them to the world.Seamless integration was the idea, and it was obtained by creating a studio dynamic microphone with unparalleled A/D converters, so that the microphone can be plugged into any computer with no in/out boxes, no expensive computer pre-amps, just a USB cable. The Podcaster offers an end-address configuration, the clarity of RØDE's tailored-for-voice frequency response, an ON L.E.D, a direct headphone amp, and of course very low self noise. The Podcaster opens up possibilities for anyone who records audio from podcasters, journalists and students to business people adding audio files to websites and multimedia presentations.
