Rode Reporter microphone
The Rode Reporter is an omnidirectional dynamic microphone designed for handheld interviews, electronic news gathering (ENG), and presentations.
Key features and benefits
Omnidirectional polar pattern: This pickup pattern captures sound from all directions equally. It is ideal for interviews because you can hold the microphone between two people without constantly moving it back and forth.
Durable construction: The microphone features a die-cast aluminum alloy body with a matte black, anti-glare finish, making it tough enough for mobile field use.
Tailored frequency response: Its frequency response (70Hz–15kHz) is tuned specifically for voice reproduction, which maximizes intelligibility. The rolled-off low-end helps reduce handling and wind noise.
Integrated wind protection: A multi-layered mesh grille functions as an internal windscreen, protecting against plosives and environmental noise without needing a bulky exterior foam shield.
No phantom power needed: As a dynamic microphone, the Reporter does not require phantom power to operate.
Detachable microphone flag: A removable flag is included for displaying a logo or branding.
Extended 10-year warranty: A 10-year warranty is available upon online registration.
