RODE Procaster Broadcast Microphone Studio Kit

The Procaster Broadcast-Quality Dynamic Microphone from Rode is designed for capturing speech in broadcast radio, voice-over recording, podcasts, and similar applications. It features a tight cardioid polar pattern and tailored frequency response that result in optimum speech reproduction without off-axis noise. The all-metal construction, internal pop-filter, and internal shockmount further minimize handling noise and contribute to the microphone's durability. The package includes a microphone stand mount and a zip pouch.

This microphone is part of the Fotohaus Klinger Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.

The Auray SM-RM20 is a suspension-style shockmount designed to be used with broadcast and condenser mics that sport an M20 threaded studs. The shockmount is crafted out of metal to ensure dependability.

A key feature of this shockmount is its ability to prevent structural-borne vibrations from the stand itself, which can result in hours of editing audio if left unattended at the source. Since this shockmount effectively isolates the mic against such vibration, you will not have to worry about this undesirable, yet all-too-common problem in the studio.

The SM-RM20 utilizes heavy-duty elastic bands to suspend and isolate the microphone inside the basket. A threaded socket provides a secure locking connection between the shockmount and microphone. This connection is so secure that you can suspend your mic downwards from a boom arm. To facilitate optimum microphone placement, the angle of the shockmount is both adjustable and lockable.

The SM-RM20 is compatible with many broadcast and condenser microphones that sport an M20 threaded stud. Whether you're mounting your microphone in an upright position, or suspending it down from a boom arm, this shockmount is an effective studio tool for securing a microphone and minimizing noise.

Even the slightest vibrations from the floor can turn into hours of troubleshooting. This suspension shockmount will prevent unwanted and troublesome vibrations, which can transmit through a mic stand, from affecting your microphone's performance.

A metal mic stand adapter ensures a durable and secure connection between the shockmount and mic stand. The standard 5/8"-27 thread fits any mic stand.
