Give your voice a rich, full, radio-ready sound with the Rode Broadcaster, a large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed specifically for broadcast, voice-over, radio, and podcast applications. The 1" gold-plated capsule, low-noise circuitry, and pronounced proximity effect work together to deliver a warm and robust tone worthy of pro-level productions. Plus, the mic's cardioid polar pattern naturally rejects sound behind the mic, picking up less background noise than many other polar responses.
Following broadcast tradition, it is an end-address mic with a clip that works with stands or boom arms (available separately). Unlike most mics, it has a special LED that can be used for "On-Air" indication when properly wired to a compatible console. Whereas many mics require an external screen to inhibit jarring "p" and "b" sounds, the Broadcaster has an internal pop filter designed to control such plosives. Being a true condenser mic, the Broadcaster should be connected via an XLR mic cable (available separately) to a mixer channel, mic preamp, or audio device that can supply phantom power.
