Thank you for investing in the 

 Podcaster, the world’s first 

broadcast sound quality USB microphone.

Those of you who are first time 

 customers, may be interested 

to know that we are one of the largest and most respected professional 

microphone companies in the world. Our studio microphones are the ‘tone’ 

behind some of the biggest hits of the last decade, and our award winning 

live performance microphones are on tour daily in 52 countries.

When looking at and listening to our microphones, many people ask “How 

can 

 achieve this level of quality and performance and at such 

reasonable prices when others can’t?” The answer is simple and logical. 

 spends millions of dollars on Research and Development. We have 

the best automated machinery and implement high volume production 

technologies. When you invest as we do, the costs drop dramatically. We 

pass on these savings to our customers, and have been doing this with our 

studio microphones since 1992. This philosophy has seen us win multiple 

national and international awards for performance and quality, and is why 

 stands alone in the industry for an unbeatable combination of 

quality, performance and price.

The 

 Podcaster has been designed for any application where 

recorded voice clarity and direct digital connection is demanded. 

Designed with Podcasting as a main use, this revolutionary microphone is 

also perfect for adding voice-overs while editing digital video, and for the 

‘on location’ reporter who can quickly record on a laptop and then simply 

e-mail this to the studio for instant broadcast.

Just plug in the 

 Podcaster with the supplied USB cable, launch 

your recording or video editing program and begin. It is that simple. For 

expanded control, download the Podcaster software (available from 

www.rodepodcaster.com).

In the following pages, you’ll find a detailed description of the features of 

the 

 Podcaster, as well as a step-by-step instruction for its setup.

As a Podcaster owner you now have full access to the site  

www.rodepodcaster.com. This site offers hosting as well as other 

interesting podcasting information.
