Rode Microphone Price Check

This microphone is great at it's price of $. if it was $100 it would be just a okay microphone.However... you need to make it a habit of remembering to check if your microphone is off.. with no light to indicate if its on or off.

used on a Rode microphone-very little signal loss.

This is my first external microphone for any of my camera gear and WOW. I was a little nervous with the price being so low, but knowing how reliable Rode is with their products and customers I went with my gut and made the purchase. ?Extremely lightweight! (Can't even notice the weight) ?NO batteries! Always running which is great for forgettable people aka me. ?Great quality of sound! So much more rich than the onboard camera mics! THANK YOU RODE!

Do you need a studio-quality Large Diaphragm Condenser microphone, and don't have a huge budget? If the answer is yes, the Rode NT1 Signature Series microphone should be on your short list of options. At $159, this mic punches way beyond its' price. You get the SM-6 Shock Mount, with integrated pop filter, a 6 meter XLR cable, and the microphone itself, along with a storage bag to store the microphone when not in use. This is a fantastic deal, provided you have an audio interface interface to connect the microphone to. The accessories alone retail for over $100 bought separately, but you get them with the package at a price point better than many microphones at the same level. The microphone sounds clear, with almost no self noise (specs say 4 dB for it), and through my RodeCaster Duo, crystal clear, with what I consider fairly minimal coloration for spoken word vocals. I have also used this microphone with a Mackie DLZ Creator, and I get the same clear vocals that I get from the RodeCaster. The only disadvantage is that you're going to need some sort of XLR-capable audio interface that can supply 48v Phantom Power to the microphone, and if you don't have one, that's going to be an additional cost. I have a RodeCaster Duo, but there are less expensive options available. The fact that this is a condenser mic, rather than a dynamic, means that the mic does not need the sort of gain that you would need with a dynamic microphone. If you already have the equipment to attach this to, at the price point, with the sound quality, accessories, and Rode's 10-year warranty, it's almost a must buy if you need a quality mic at an truly exceptional price.

This was my first microphone away from rode and it was a good move. The build quality is good, it functions properly and price isn't too bad. Only thing is the microphone does hit your eye if you're using EVF but no other complaints

This microphone is fantastic for the price, I was considering other Rode microphone options that were several times more expensive but extremely happy with the sound from this guy. No need to charge extra batteries, just plug it in and go!

I've been recording in the music industry for decades. This microphone has the quality of something twice its price. I bought these for podcasting purposes and wanted a quality microphone but for a reasonable budget. It was between the RODE and Sure SM7B which most podcasters use. The Sure was close to double to price and the sound is similar. Also, since the RODE is a condenser, you can boost the output using phantom power. You can't with the Sure, you need a separate booster. Also, it's sounds amazing for recording amps, vocals (really good!), and acoustic guitar. If you do not have the budget for a $1,000.00 microphone, this is a versatile workhorse.

I have purchased two of these now. The price is more than reasonable for what you are getting. A high-quality, Rode shotgun microphone that can be camera mounted, boomed, or made into a USB desk mic. I appreciate that it is USB-C. Rode has been excellent in pushing firmware updates. I love the options on the camera for volume/pad etc. I often pair it with a Rode Wireless GO II for booming and have not had any issues with RF interference.

I bought it to improve my sound in my microphone rode

I like this microphone. I use it with the Rode Wireless system and I'm happy with the result.
