power source | AC | Corded Electric | The SM7B does NOT require phantom power and is not affected if phantom power is present on its mixer input. Note that some third-party external pre-amps commonly used with the SM7B DO require phantom power to operate, however. At least 60dB of gain is recommended to get that iconic warm and balanced tone most commonly associated with the SM7B. | Corded Electric | Usb Condenser | Corded Electric |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have read that you need a cloudlifter or some sort of preamp to use with the mic, which is somewhat true. The input or sound is very low. However, I didn't need one as the mixer I have had more than enough preamp ability to provide sufficient gain to the mic. If you have a mixer with a good preamp, then you don't need to spend the extra money for an additional preamp. The procaster is exactly what I needed. It captures my voice (which is deeper) extremely well. Most notably, it does not pick up much of the background noise that my AT2020 would. Perfect! I just had to adjust to keeping my mouth near the mic to maintain sound. It comes with a built in pop filter, which I can confirm works great. I could use the foam pop filter I had lying around, but the mic just looks sexier without it. It does not need any phantom power to work either since it is a dynamic microphone!
The mic came in a nice leather pouch, with an adapter and some docs in the box. I was very please to see that I could register and get the 10 year warranty for the mic. 10 years! That tells me RODE is confident in their products. Overall, the quality, the performance, and price, just outstanding across the board!
When I need additional equipment, RODE will be the very first in line for my business!
I noticed two things in internet: One of the pins of the mic is larger than the others. In the Rode FAQ website you can see that this is normal. Is the ground pin and is made in that way to guarantee that this pin connects first and protect the mic.
Some people show the pins being pulled of after removing the XLR connector. To avoid that, before connect the cable, just be sure that the bolt in the little hole near of the connector is tight enough.

Pues una vez aclarado esto y si ya tienes claro que lo que buscas es un micrófono del tipo dinámico te habrás fijado que muchos creadores de contenido utilizan el shure sm7b y bien desde mi punto de vista y lo puedes comprobar viendo comparaciones y demás...esto es básicamente por una cuestión de moda y estética, al igual que que por ejemplo se usan sillas de la marca secret lab en lugar de una Steelcase... no se busca la mejor ergonomía o durabilidad, se busca estética o seguir una tendencia, pues en el caso de los micrófonos desde mi punto de vista esta pasando lo mismo este rode procaster le hace frente perfectamente al shure y todo ello por la mitad de precio, por lo que si la estética para ti no es lo mas importante para el uso que le pretendas dar es una opción igual de válida y por la mitad de coste.
La calidad de construcción me ha parecido muy buena, ten en cuenta que es un micro bastante pesado sobre unos 700g por lo que tendrás que tener un brazo o soporte que pueda con él (trae un soporte adaptador para la tuerca de sistema "rode") y que el filtro anti pop que trae incluido internamente puede quedarse algo corto en algunos casos ya que este tipo de micrófonos se suele utilizar a una distancia muy corta, el fabricante indica en este modelo que se debe utilizar a 5cm, por lo que si no te importa modificar su estética, valora adquirir uno ya sea el que vende rode (WS2) de espuma o similar o de los circulares que se ponen mediante un brazo flexible.
Otra cosa muy importante de este tipo de micrófonos es que necesitan mucha ganancia, algo que en postproducción se puede conseguir, pero que si por ejemplo lo vas a usar para directos o prefieres tener directamente una ganancia adecuada seguramente te hará falta un amplificador o mic booster, como puede ser el famoso Cloudlifter que tiene un coste aproximado de unos 150€ u optar por opciones más económicas como el Klark Teknik o TritonAudio que cuestan 3 veces menos y que gracias a ellos dándoles alimentación Phantom conseguirás esos dB extra que necesitas.
Otra cosa que me gusto del rode es que si nos registramos en su web y validamos nuestra compra tendremos una garantía ampliada de 10 años, algo que considero que esta muy bien, en un producto de un valor elevado como este tener más años de tranquilidad en ese sentido siempre se agradece.
✅ lo que mas me gusto :
▪ Calidad general
❌ Lo que menos me gusto :
▪ Peso elevado
Sin duda este procaster es una gran opción de micrófono dinámicos, en mi caso estoy muy contento con los resultado obtenidos y lo recomiendo sin duda.

Sin duda este procaster es una gran opción de micrófono dinámicos, en mi caso estoy muy contento con los resultado obtenidos y lo recomiendo sin duda.
Je n'étais jamais satisfait de la qualité de captation audio via les micros des webcams, casques et micros attachés à la prise jack de la carte son. Je suis donc passé à des micros connectés en USB : Razer Serein en premier lieu, dont j'étais satisfait jusqu'à ce que la prise mini USB du micro me lâche, puis Blue Yeti, qui m'a extrêmement déçu en termes de qualité, malgré de multiples tentatives de réglage.
Je me suis donc décidé à passer sur du XLR pour voir si la qualité "pro" est vraiment au rendez-vous. Ce Rode Procaster est couplé à un ampli/interface Rode Ai-1 et est posé sur pied Rode DS1.
C'est le jour et la nuit avec les solutions précédentes : La voix est profonde, les bruits extérieurs sont très bien filtrés car le micro est dynamique (le faisceau de captage est réduit dans l'axe du micro) et ce Rode Procaster est de plus un très bel objet.
J'ai juste été un peu déçu par sa sensibilité (je parle à 15-20 cm du micro pour éviter qu'il bouffe la moitié du visage en vidéo ;-) ). Le problème est résolu soit par un filtre de gain applicatif ou un feathead.
C'est un produit bien fabriqué, beau, solide et au rendu très qualitatif pour la voix.
Je ne peux que recommander.
