The Rode Procaster Microphone is Fantastic!

The Rode Procaster Dynamic Microphone has been my go-to microphone for the 500+ videos I've made in the past 10 years. From YouTube videos to online courses, it produces broadcast-quality voiceovers that makes you sound professional. I made this video because many of you had asked me what mic I use because it sounds very professional. This video goes through my entire audio gear list. And this video isn't sponsored.

If you're looking to level up your audio quality, for your podcast, video tutorials, live streams, voiceovers, and more, then look no further.

For best experience hearing the Rode Procaster sound test, use your headphones. You will hear the difference between:

1. The built-in microphone from a Sony A7IV camera
2. Rode VideoMic GO II
3. Rode Procaster

*One thing I forgot to mention in the video is the mic windshield. You place it over the mic to reduce plosives and vocal wind. I can't recall which one I use but you can find one on Amazon or your local music store.

To all: Dont forget pop filter.
Understand using this particular setup from visual perspective, but as I concentrated on a quality of sound and not a content in studio headphones (Audio-technica M50) there was a strong and quite annoying pop sound (is it proper term in english???). I am using Rode mic too, but NT1 model (plus Steinberg interface). But I always use shockmount AND pop filter. Its looks like useless poseur flycather, but its works pretty well.
True is that I made mostly voicovers or only audio products, moreover this negative pop sound depends mostly on distance from mic, than used language and personal pronunciation, but for better and cleaner audio quality of a voice (This is a poin of this video, isn it?) I strongly recommend to use it.
And dont forget studio headphones (pretty amazing cost from 80 to 200 euros), otherwise you will never hear a defects in your production. And dont forget check your sound on smarphone speakers if the message (point) is understandable. Because not every listener/ viewer have 1000 euros headphones to explore the deepest corners of our audio genius :-D :-D :-D

I've owned the Rode PODcaster MkII for about 6 yrs. I'm struggling with low input levels, having to boost it significantly in post, which invariably brings in other ambient sounds, making it a longer process than necessary. Like a fool, I opted for the USB version instead of the XLR version. Now realise (thanks to your video) I need to buy the Focusrite Scarlett Solo (plus leads, plus Cloudlifter or Dynamite DM1) to boost input volume... before I add a new Rode XLR PROcaster to the shopping basket, is there any way to make my existing USB mic work with the Focusrite Scarlett Solo - or a similar quality amp?

I work in the marketing department for a real estate firm, and love to recommend your videos. Thank you for the great content! I switched over from another gmail to this one just to say this appropriately. Lol 🎉

Good video. I have the same set up but cannot seem to get that good a sound out of the mic. Any suggestions?

[TheAlmightySushi]

What pop filter are you currently using? looks super minimal compared to the WS2 while still having a tight fit.

[christiaannienkemper]

Will the Rode procaster microphone work on a Scarlett vocaster?

[yudisupriyadi]

What cable I need for Rode Podcaster + Scarlet Solo? Is it XLR male to male?

[barshhh]

Aurelius please, what’s the name of that pop filter, it looks too minimalism, I need it.

[IdeaUnavailable.]

Hey! I was wondering, Do I really NEED a cloud lifter if I want to use this mic? What do you think?

Blue yeti sucks never buy it better to buy some other mics
