Rode PODCASTER

Dynamic, end-address USB microphone that combines broadcast-quality audio with the simplicity of USB connectivity, allowing recording direct to a computer without the need for an additional digital interface. It is ideal choice for podcasting, vodcasting, YouTube videos, voice recognition software, corporate videos and any production application that requires a simple yet professional voice-over microphone. It is also a convenient demo microphone for musicians and songwriters that prefer the convenience of a USB microphone but do not want to compromise sound quality. Including an audiophile quality 18-bit resolution, 48kHz sampling A/D converter, it processes all of the analogue-to-digital conversion internally, bypassing the computer's lower quality on-board sound controller altogether. A headphone output on the microphone body provides zero-latency monitoring, so the user can hear exactly what is being recorded, free of delay or echo. The microphone features an internal pop filter, designed to minimise plosives sounds that can overload the 28mm dynamic microphone capsule and distort the audio output. It is fully compatible with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Mac OS X computers, as well as several Linux distributions. It can also be used as an iPad microphone for the Apple iPad (in conjunction with the iPad Camera Connection Kit and a powered USB hub) to provide high quality recording to various iPad audio applications such as Garageband. The microphone is bus powered and features a status LED to indicate operation. It includes a sturdy RM2 microphone ring mount. Frequency range: 40 Hz-14 kHz. Maximum SPL: 115 dB. Sensitivity: -51 dB.
