RODE Broadcaster — a premium large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed specifically for broadcast, voiceover, and studio applications. With its tailored frequency response and built-in high-pass filter, the Broadcaster delivers the clarity, presence, and warmth that define professional on-air sound.
The Broadcaster features a 1-inch gold-sputtered capsule with a cardioid polar pattern that captures voice detail with exceptional focus while rejecting unwanted background noise. Its extended low-end response provides a rich, natural tone, while the subtle high-frequency boost enhances speech intelligibility. The internal pop filter effectively reduces plosives, making it ideal for close-mic vocal use.
Designed for reliability in demanding environments, the Broadcaster offers ultra-low self-noise, transformerless output for transparent signal transmission, and a front-panel “ON-AIR” indicator that can be powered via standard 48V phantom power. This makes it a trusted choice in professional radio studios, podcasts, and voiceover booths worldwide.
