In this review, the Rode Broadcaster sounds nothing like Podcastage’s and others’ reviews. It’s actually regarded as one of the better broadcast condenser mics, so hearing it sound like this was, well, weird.

@annekedebruyn7797 2 жыл бұрын

I mean, based on this I would even get the Procaster. Not sure what went wrong but I am not used to how this sound. It's usually much more present than something like an RE20. Even further away.

It sounds that way because he's not as close to the mic as everyone else is. This is one of those mics where it really benefits from that proximity effect. I have one, and it sounds amazing.

I think your Broadcaster might be set up wrong, I have one and it's very good. Booth Junkie reviewed it and he was very impressed by it, he liked it more than the Shure SM7b

@xavallpelmenbi4798 11 ай бұрын

i use broadcaster 2 years with tube preamp uad 610(1200$). Sound very good))) in this video, something is really wrong with the sound, the bottoms and middles are not audible at all. I have a bass-baritone, it is the lower middle that sounds cool in this microphone.

We use these and the EV RE20 on the radio show and I think the mic sounds great.

This was one of my choices over a shure sm7b, I ended up getting a shure. I'm getting another microphone. They all do and sound different. My partner will never believe that though.

@julesc8054 Жыл бұрын

Awesome video. Great to know there is a mic that isn't as dull and dark as the sm7b and has great articulation, as far as mid ranged mics are concerned the sm7b is fine. Both the Earthworks Icon Pro and the RE 20 are good options in this category. The Lauten Audio LS-208 condenser with a sponge pop filter is also another fantastic option in a relatively isolated room. One thing said for the SM7B is that once you plug it in and do a basic EQ it sounds fine, no fuss, more of a plug and play. Its lack of articulation is I think what makes it popular. It loses the articulation so much that it makes everyone sound fine. People's clicks and funny tones are completely lost on the sm7b great for the average person maybe. The Rode Broadcaster is probably a better option on a better voice than most of the dynamics except maybe the RE 20.

@h4ppydr4gon 2 жыл бұрын

It sounds strange. Normally I think it sounds more well rounded when I've heard it before, also remember condensers often give more leeway for EQ. Not always, but generally.

@Organplayer1947 2 жыл бұрын

mic audio was not equally adjusted. Also you spoke closer in to the RE20. Great Vid. Thank you sir.

@EposVox 2 жыл бұрын

The broadcaster is a condenser, designed to be used from further away. Dynamics are designed to be used closer to the mouth. Secondarily, the RE20 is a "variable-D" microphone, meaning it doesn't suffer from proximity effect and the tonality/sound does not change with distance.

@Rocashu 2 жыл бұрын

Question: when it comes to noise suppression does an xlr connection has an advantage? Your feeding more power to the mic making it sound better but does that mean it will be more sensitive to other background noise? I have the Q2U using it via usb. No xlr interface, wondering if it's worth buying one

@EposVox 2 жыл бұрын

There’s not inherently a difference, though the audio preamp built in will be worse than a good interface so you could get electrical noise added in
