RODE PodMic Reviews
Too much self-noise
I know they are inexpensive, but with all the praise these are getting, I was expecting better results. The good - Build quality, look, sound, price. The bad - Self noise/electrical hum Even with a high quality mixer/preamps I was getting a lot of electrical humming sound. You really have to have these close to your mouth to avoid your sound being overwhelmed by the noise floor. To the point where plosives can become a problem, requiring a pop filter, which is not included. I'll admit, they do sound really good in untreated rooms. I would happily use these if doing a podcast in a busy coffee shop. The background noise melts away. Not sure what other mic compares at this price point, especially with the amazing metal build quality, but it's just too noisy for me.
Works great, got great advice from a B&H rep
We bought this two-person mic set for a corporate podcast. I already had a recorder, so I didn't get the recommended RODE recorder for these. I chatted with a B&H rep about my goals, what my set up would be, and my assumptions on the equipment I needed (I would also need a Cloudlifter CL-2). Got the order quickly, and the results are great. These mics are a really great, budget-friendly way to get great audio.
