Your workspace is absolutely great. I would like to have my studio look as good as yours soon.

Being a brand new mic I think the jury will be out for a while. It’s hard to tell until you can hear it in a head to head with other mics.

The one thing I observe right off the bat is that having a headphone cable swinging from it while you’re recording seems to be asking for noise problems. I just don’t see how it could be a good thing.

For people who have no other monitoring options it could be a useful thing – but think you will find most people in pro outfits snickering when they see it…

Hi! I’m from Australia. I am in the process of having a studio built in my garage for voice over recording. I have a Rode Podcaster mike which has a USB connection and a headphone jack built in which is very handy. I would like to know how the mike compares with others and whether its any good for my work. Thanks and best regards, Arlen.

Having been involved in the wiring of several TV studios, countless location setups, and the multi decade evolution of my own home system, I can certainly appreciate what you have accomplished here.
Bravo gentlemen…
I’m so jealous.
If you ever need an extra set of hands, or would like to audition any of the microphone and preamplifier alternatives I have here, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I have a ton of stuff that is shamefully under utilized, and would be honored to be of any assistance to you. I have a good daytime gig, so helping you guys would be just for the sheer joy of it.
