Broadcaster

Precision 1" Broadcast Condenser Microphone

Like its name suggests, this RØDE microphone was specifically designed for 'ON-AIR' applications where wide frequency response and low distortion are demanded.

Winner of the Radio World/US National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) 'What's Cool' award in 1998, the Broadcaster has become an industry standard when studio sound quality is required for on air applications.

Utilising an Australian designed and manufactured RØDE 1" externally biased condenser transducers, the Broadcaster features a switch-able high pass filter to remove low frequency rumble.

A unique 'ON-AIR' LED indicator can be switched on or off by shorting contacts on the 5 pin audio connector. This feature allows console operators to warn the 'Talent' that the mic is live.
