$1 Microphone and Ken Sparkes talks Microphone Techniques
Rode make great microphones, which suit broadcasters, studios, and live performers. They are built really solidly, and have a generous warranty to back it. As a bonus, they’re an 100% Aussie company!
They are currently running a promotion where you buy a qualifying product of theirs, and they will give you a M1, M2 or M3 for only $1 – upon redemption. Here’s the blurb:
What can you buy for a dollar? Not much these days. A cup of coffee? Unlikely. Your choice of the rock-solid RØDE M1 live dynamic microphone, the RØDE M2, a live vocal condenser microphone or the RØDE M3, a versatile 1/2″ condenser microphone? You wouldn’t have thought so, but this August RØDE is giving you the opportunity to pick up any one of these critically acclaimed mics for just one Australian dollar when you purchase another qualifying RØDE mic from a participating dealer!
I’m thinking of grabbing a Procaster for about $200, and using that to redeem an M2. That would be awesome :)
On the page of the Procaster, there is a great little video of Ken Sparkes talking about the mic, but also mic techniques. This is the sort of stuff that we should be teaching to all presenters we train in community radio. It’s such a fundamental, but quite often we take it for granted.
There we have it. The Rode Procaster and some great microphone techniques for radio in the one video.
