RODE Procaster | Cardioid Dynamic Microphone Designed for Broadcast Vocals

Broadcast-Quality Audio Core, Infusing Your Voice with Authority and Warmth

The RODE Procaster is a professional-grade Dynamic microphone designed by RODE specifically for broadcast and vocal recording. It features a voice-optimized Cardioid pickup head and a Frequency Response of 75Hz to 18kHz. Its high-output Dynamic diaphragm and tight Cardioid polar pattern are designed to deliver ultimate broadcast-quality audio while maximally suppressing off-axis ambient noise, making it an ideal choice for Podcast recording, live streaming, and voice-overs.

Compared to microphones that typically require additional accessories, the Procaster, with its built-in pop filter and internal shockmount, significantly reduces plosives and handling noise. This allows creators to achieve clean, rich vocal recordings without complex setups. Its robust all-metal construction ensures long-term durability in professional environments.

Who it's for

Podcast hosts and content creators seeking rich, clear broadcast-quality vocals without complex post-production.
Live streamers and game streamers who need to effectively suppress keyboard, mouse, and ambient noise in acoustically untreated spaces.
Professional voice actors and narrators looking for a durable primary microphone that accurately captures vocal details.

Who it's not for

Music producers who need a microphone for recording instruments or diverse audio sources (the Procaster is optimized for vocals).
Outdoor interviewers seeking a lightweight, portable solution (the Procaster is heavier and suitable for fixed desktop use).
Users whose audio interface does not have sufficient Gain (Dynamic microphones require more power, a Mic Preamps is recommended).

RODE Procaster Core Technologies and Features

Optimized for Broadcast Vocals: The Frequency Response is specially tuned for vocals, capturing rich, full vocal details to make voices sound more professional and authoritative, without complex EQ adjustments.
Excellent Ambient Noise Rejection: The tight Cardioid polar pattern focuses on sound sources directly in front, effectively isolating ambient noise from the sides and rear, such as keyboard clicks, computer fan noise, or room reverberation, ensuring clean vocal recordings.
Built-in Pop Filter: The microphone integrates an efficient internal pop filter, significantly reducing plosives (such as 'p' and 'b' sounds) produced during vocal recording, eliminating the need for purchasing and installing an external pop filter.
Internal Shockmount: The capsule is mounted on an internal shock absorption system, which effectively isolates low-frequency vibrations and handling noise caused by touching the microphone stand or desk, providing more stable recording quality.
All-Metal Robust Construction: Featuring a durable all-metal body design, it not only provides excellent electromagnetic interference shielding but also ensures durability and reliability in various recording environments, built for long-term professional use.

RODE Procaster FAQ

Q: Does the RODE Procaster Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Microphone require Phantom Power?

▼

A: No. The Procaster is a Dynamic microphone that operates by connecting to your audio interface or mixer via an XLR cable, without the need for +48V Phantom Power.

Q: How do I choose between the RODE Procaster and Shure SM7B?

▼

A: Both are broadcast classics. The Procaster has a more prominent mid-range, making vocals sound more forward; the SM7B has a smoother tone, offering more post-production flexibility. The Procaster is generally more competitively priced.

Q: I'm new to podcasting, is the Procaster suitable for me?

▼

A: It's very suitable. The Procaster can effectively isolate ambient noise in an acoustically untreated room, allowing you to easily record clean vocals. It's an excellent choice for beginners seeking broadcast-quality audio.

Q: Do I necessarily need to buy a Mic Preamps like a Cloudlifter when using the Procaster?

▼

A: Not necessarily. If your audio interface can provide at least 60dB of clean Gain, you can drive it directly. If the Gain is insufficient or if Self-noise becomes noticeable when turned up, then a Mic Preamps is recommended.
