RODE PODCASTER MKII

RØDE Podcaster USB Broadcast Microphone – Professional Podcasting Made Simple

The RØDE Podcaster USB Microphone is a broadcast-quality dynamic USB microphone designed for podcasters, streamers, voice-over artists, and content creators who want studio-grade sound without complex audio interfaces. Built by the renowned Australian audio company RØDE, this microphone connects directly to your computer via USB, delivering rich, clear voice reproduction ideal for podcasts, YouTube videos, streaming, voiceovers, and home studio recording.

Featuring a large 28mm dynamic capsule, the Podcaster captures the full depth and warmth of the human voice while minimising unwanted room noise—perfect for untreated home studios or office environments. It’s built-in 18-bit / 48kHz A/D converter ensures high-resolution digital audio conversion inside the microphone, bypassing your computer’s lower-quality internal sound card for superior recording results.

For real-time recording control, the Podcaster includes a 3.5mm headphone output with zero-latency monitoring, allowing you to hear your voice exactly as it is being recorded with no delay or echo. The integrated internal pop filter helps reduce plosive sounds like “P” and “B” that can overload microphones, producing smoother, more professional vocal recordings.

Designed and manufactured in Australia, the Podcaster reflects RØDE’s reputation for exceptional audio engineering. It is backed by the company’s industry-leading 10-year warranty, giving creators long-term confidence in their equipment.

Perfect for podcasting, streaming, voice recognition software, corporate video production, and songwriting demos, the RØDE Podcaster is one of the most reliable USB microphones for professional voice recording.

Why Choose the RØDE Podcaster?

Unlike many USB microphones that rely on a computer’s sound card, the Podcaster handles all audio conversion internally, resulting in cleaner recordings and more consistent vocal tone. Its dynamic capsule also rejects background noise better than many condenser USB microphones, making it perfect for home studios, offices, and remote recording setups.

✅ Pro Tip: Pair the Podcaster with the RØDE PSA1 Studio Boom Arm and RØDE PSM1 Shock Mount for a complete professional podcasting setup with improved positioning and vibration isolation.
