The slimmer design of the Podcaster means that it can fit standard shock mounts which the Yeti cannot. I bought the Podcaster as an upgrade from the Blue Yeti I had been using up until now and while I am decently happy with the new mic, it is not the unquestionable upgrade I was hoping for and has actually given me a new found respect for the Yeti.īeing a dynamic microphone, the Podcaster is much less sensitive to ambient noise and reverb compared to the Yeti. Needless to say, after testing with it relentlessly, I can't help but feel scammed.The audio quality isn't the upgrade I expected and I just feel disappointed all round. This Rode mic is triple the price, so I'd expect a good standard and I specifically bought this mic because I wanted a dynamic microphone. Pictures attached.Problem #4After everything, I hoped this microphone would at least sound good and be an upgrade on my condenser microphone that I've been using for nearly a year now. It might seem minor, but for a microphone I was already overcharged for, this is literally unacceptable. I realised I'd have to take the hit, but was ok with it if the mic turned out to be great.Problem #3This supposedly brand new Mic arrived the morning of October 19th (credit for fast delivery) but the bottom of the microphone had blatant SCUFF marks. That's a difference of £36 that just was randomly shaved off seemingly immediately after I ordered.Problem #2I tried to cancel with Amazon (the item hadn't even been dispatched yet) but they refused to do so. I checked back a little later this SAME DAY, and the price had miraculously dropped down to £143. I ordered this for my podcast and it's been a disaster since the start.Problem #1I ordered this on the morning of the 18th of October for £179. 3.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 October 2020.For professional applications the optional PSM1 shock mount and PSA1 boom arm are highly recommended.
