Here in the US, the Procaster is ~$230 and the Podmic is ~$100.... so you could pick up two of the podmics for less than the cost of 1 procaster. However, the podmic is sold out and backordered pretty much everywhere. You can place an order for it, but no clue when it'll arrive :). As far as audio interfaces are concerned, as long as you have one with a decently low EIN and a good dynamic range (i.e. 100dbA range) you really don't need to worry about a separate preamp like a CL or Fethead. So, pretty much your Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, your Behringer UMC202HD, Audient iD14 etc will all be able to drive the mics. You can certainly add a preamp or channel strip if you wish, but they aren't a necessity. The dbx 286s is a great piece of kit, giving you the real time effects processing in hardware, along with a good amount of gain from the preamp.
I need to learn more about microphones and audio production!!They both sound great to my ears. You’re podcast sounded great with all three mics. Thanks for the comparison Shane! Cheers!!!🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
@@SharrodVisuals Procaster easily. It has a warmer richer sound. Podmic is good but for the same price you can get an SM58 which is better than the Podmic.
@@TheMatrixxandRhodesShow Thank you for the reply! Made up my mind. In Australia we can get the procaster for roughly $200 Aud So its abouts $140 Usd. And if you still prefer the Procaster over the podmic then there must be a huge difference since I know its $250 USD over there. 👍😊
Thank you for this review. It really helped to decide to go for the PodMic, I wished the "big brother", but for the budget and my podcast record use, looks like it will fit perfectly.
PROcaster and podcaster are marketed as “Front Adress” mics. So “straight down the barrel” is the way they are intended, from about 3 to 5 inches. Aiming the breath over the top edge helps a lot with plosives.
Solid video, mate, cheers. Just bought the PodMic to switch up from my Samson Q2U, looking forward to running through the Focusrite Solo Scarlett 3rd Gen. Wondering if I need to use a fethead with this?
@@SharrodVisuals Actually, switched back to the Q2U for now, just gives a warmer all-round sound. When I did use the PodMic, I ran it with a Triton Fethead, and had the gain at about 60%. Without that, yes, the gain had to be at 100%.
There are small front-address pop-filters for Procaster, RE320 etc if popfilter and visuals both are important. Worked very well with procaster, never tester on podmic (don’t own one)
great review mate, I was leaning towards the podmic for the reasons you mentioned (the look and size lol) but knowing the pro caster was definitely the better sounding of the 2, made it difficult to pass on being only a £20 difference. Now im considering on just getting both to use simultaneously with guests.... lol! decisions decisions.
I ended up with 2 Procasters and One PodMic in the end! There's not much in it sound-wise either. I figured it made more sense with my setup as I will be opting to use regular table-top mic stands as my main setup. :-)
Geeky Nerdy Techy could literally be my same deciding factor. Which would suit my set up more. Haha will have to See. But good to know they are quite similar, so even if I get both sound wise wont be noticeable during simultaneous use
@@natzblazin The Procaster is a bit longer which makes it easier for table-top use. If you are using boom arms with a spring system it won't make much difference. Either way, both sound great. Let me know how you go. The majority of my podcasts will be two people so part of me just wanted them to match too haha.
Awesome! They are really good. I went back to get a second today but they were out of stock 😆 I hope you enjoy them. Please let me know what you think once you've used them.
Great review from a fellow Melburnian. Had a question about the gain issue. I have an old Presonus Audiobox USB 96 audio interface. Am I going to encounter the noise issue you mentioned if I get either the Procaster or Podmic?
Great review thanks! Funny I prefer how both mics sound when off axis - all a matter of preference I guess. Anyway that was exactly what I was looking for and really appreciate it. Nice voice too :)
That was a really good review. I too am looking for an alternative to the NT 1 which I love but picks up too much room noise and sometimes the guest vocal in the recording. Pod Mic certainly seems live good value!
Exactly the same here! NT1-A is sounding great, but better suited in a sound cube or silent environment. In this appartment i just have to much environmental noises, it's not convenient for that.
The Pod Mic sounds worse than the SM 58. Extremely tinny. I have a Procaster with a Cloudlifter and love it. You can buy a Procaster for about a 100 bucks used. Pod Mic is a crap salad sandwich.
Great review of the procaster. Love how you are so un-bias with it. Thumbs up. You just convinced me to buy a sE 2200 condenser for broadcasting. I know there are trade off's with both but as far as I am concerned ill go condenser.
It's a dynamic microphone and has an internal shock mount, so no, it really doesn't need it. Can help in some cases, but usually dynamic microphones aren't as sensitive as condenser ones.
@@jcstrabo Well yes and no. Some dynamic microphones have good internal shockmounts but the one built in to the procaster isn't great. I have had quiet a lot of vibration noise comming through to the mic. Besides the mount that comes with the mic is garbage anyway. After a few months it couldn't hold my procaster anymore. To be fair though I adjusted the position of the mic quiet a lot during that time which certainly helped break it
I have a Procaster I really like it! Wish it could have the yoke like the Podcaster does, then it would be a really good alternative to the Sure SM7B. Rode put the bloody yoke on it, please haha. Great video mate and a great voice for the AIR!
Great video mate, really grateful you made it. Tossing up between the Procaster and the Podmic...still not sure which one to get, but your video has shed more light on the decision than any other I've seen. Just out of interest, what are your thoughts on the Podcaster (USB)? Cheers. Steve.
Thanks for this great video. btw - I think I'm your soul mate 🤣 "The Plosives, I like how that sounds, that sounds much better; talking right into the front" (x100 🤣 )
I own the Procaster. And I really like it. Clearly, it beats the PodMic. Here I have to give thumbs up to the design of the Pod though. I like the design. And thanks for the review man!
Keep in mind, the Rode Podmic and the Rode Procaster Mic are made to be used with the Rodecaster Pro, the settings there with some tinkering, can make both of these mic sound 10x better. Some settings you can get it to sound like the 400.00 Shure SM7B. Most videos or streamers are using these with GOXLR's or Focusrites mixers, cool, but damn you connect these to Rode's Rodecaster Pro for podcasting, it doesn't take long to figure out the settings to get a really crisp natural sound. Only thing I recommend is a CLoudlifter for these mics when using them anywhere, even with the Rodecaster Pro podcast unit
I’d like to know which mixer you’re using to prefer it over the cloudlifter or fethead. Surely not a Begringer Xenyx or any Yamaha Mixer because the preamps on all of those would give you good reason to actually use an inline preamp. That being said, your voice for some reason really likes the Podmic. That’s not exactly common from the reviews I’ve listened to.
Not picking on either, but I'll stick with my Blue Yeticaster. Superior to actually work with. Give me a large diaphragm mic every day. I eat food - not microphone. Just me.
I have a question, guys: What usb audio iterface i need to use Rode Podmic? I am afraid -57db is something "heavy" to usual audiocards... (low budget variants preferred). Thanks for the answers.
I recently bought both Podmic and Procaster to compare. There is two options : If you don't mind to speak 2cm (1 inch) from the microphone, most of interface can get over the -57db, such as focusrite scarlett gen3 with its +56db gain, or anything similar to this But if you don't like to have the microphone in your mouth or being inaudible when you are 5cm (2 inches) away from your microphone then you should get an Cloudlifter or Fethead which is cheaper (but still expensive), that should allow you to move pretty far away from the microphone and being still hearable. All of this can get as expensive (or much expensive) as the microphone itself so if its too much for you, you should go for microphone that don't need thoses massives boost of gain.
Time codes: 0:00 - About this video 1:00 - Both microphones up close (proximity effect) 2:39 - Testing without a pop filter or wind shield (plosives) 3:55 - Off-Axis Rejection Links to each microphone are in the description box.
I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Will it do the Podmic without any extra gear? If not, can you recommend a similar mic that doesn't need any additional pre-amp apart from my Scarlett?
@@SharrodVisuals I think its fine. You have to be close to the mic. Sometimes, in videos you see that the speaker is like 30-50cm away from a mic while talking. This won't work well I think. But speaking into the mic properly will be good with the scarlett without extra pream.
Eh, I find that raw audio to be of limited use. In reality, no one puts out a podcast or TH-cam video with unprocessed audio. Its kind of like all the SooC photos. They aren't really helpful to evaluate. The PodMic sounds amazing when he adjusts the output level and adds in some compression at 5:52
Where is auz did you purchase this puppy we are in New Zealand will our auzy cousin write back or is he like the yanks that never do !!! curious hear back shortly
Hey! Noticed you did not mention the table stand. I am going to buy 2 Podmics but heard the Rode table stand is too weak for it. Could you clarify? Thank you.
I had the PodMic and if you like a snowstorm sound you can leave the cloud lifter or fathead at the store. I like a clean signal so for me a fathead is a no brainer!
How do you talk THAT CLOSE to the mic and not get any saliva clicks or mouth sounds? I really having a hard time avoiding mouth clicks and its driving me crazy!
I am not sure if the Zoom H6 will work well with either of these two microphones without a cloudlifter? I haven't tried it. You might have better luck with something like a Rode M2 or M3 with a setup like that.

mattia scarpazza you probably need to position the gain knob to about 7 or 8. I had a zoom and tried it with a dynamic microphone

Jay Mac To protect the mic when it’s not in use. Dust and moisture can destroy the internals.
