![]() Out of the box it has a much fuller sound, picking up on more of the low end “bassy” tones in your voice as well as delivering great performance in the middle and highs. This microphone for me personally blows the SM7B out of the water, so much so that I sold mine. Gone are the days of checking if a random stand or mount fits your mic, Rode has you covered! Help you improve the performance in different environments. ![]() One of the great things with buying a Rode microphone is the eco system, Rode makes a shock mount that fits this microphone specifically, a boom arm that is designed to carry the weight of this microphone no problem, external wind/pop shields that will ![]() Although it has to be said when speaking up close it does leave a bit to be desired, and as you can see in my photos I have opted to use a much more substantial cover. The top of the microphone screws off which will allow you to access the internal pop/wind shield which slides over the top of the capsule, shielding it from pops and “plosives”. This microphone has excellent build quality and has the heft to back it up, this microphone is much heavier than most people might be used to, reassuringly so! It also comes with an excellent leather padded carry/storage case as well as a 7 year warranty. I choose to use this microphone over the SM7B which should speak volumes about how much I like to Rode Procaster! I couldn’t be happier with this microphone. Hope this helps, sorry for the alarmist review headline but I could find NOTHING at all on the net about Zooms not working with this mic and was about to return them, so hope I have saved someone else from doing so. The audio level of these is lower than from my lapel mic, I have my Tascam set to "hi" gain and then in Final Cut need to run loudness boost and then up to about 3 to 5db, I think it's a feature, looking at other comments. Handling sounds are there if you shuffle around, but less so than when I had a cable attached (that picked up the cable rubbing against itself). If you want to exclude this you'd need to look at other options. To give an example, if I walk and talk and go out of the back door you can then hear the water fountain in my pond, birds, aircraft etc (not loudly, but obviously there) which for me adds to the ambience. The mics themselves, early days, but be aware these are omnidirectional (the reason I bought them, as I do want ambient sound). In a way this has been a blessing in disguise, if the XLR to 3.5mm cable worked I would have had tethered/wired mics, now I have a truly portable solution. I am so pleased to say that a proper XLR recorder works a treat on these. I decided to bite the bullet and ordered two Tascam DR-10X XLR recorders to see if throwing more money at it would fix the issue (as I liked the size and build of these mics) and sure enough. At the same time Rode's customer service responded (and credit to them for answering me) and said the amps on the Zooms are not good enough. They were really faint, I had to put the Zooms to max gain and then max out the audio in the editor just to get reasonable levels with all the horrible noise that ensued as a result of this.Īfter trying various XLR to 3.5mm cables I was told by a sound expert who patted me on the head that you can't really just use an XLR to 3.5mm adapter and expect things to work. First my frustration and disappointment with these not working with my existing Zoom H1 and Zoom H1N recorders, which I use to record currently with a Rode lapel mic very well (which ends in 3.5mm plug - the input to the Zooms).
