I want to podcast from local pubs in town. Would this kit be decent for a couple of guys sitting around a pub style table and talking about beer?

This would work really well for that. The only problem I could think you might have. The mic picks up everything so is there is a lot of background noise you will hear it all

I would suggest this one for recording in a pub but in the event it fails for that purpose then make sure you can return it right back like I was able to. I had high hopes for this kit but it picked up too many background noises too well for my purpose. There is a risk you could pick up too many background noises in a noisy pub as well.

This is more for recordings where you keep your mouth really close to the mic. If you have quiet a few people around and sit it in the middle and just chat, it would work but the voices would sound pretty distant and its going to pick up all the noises in the background of the pub.

Fairly good pick up with this Mic and depending on the software and how well you adjust the input it should do a great job for you. I have been using this mic for a year now for podcasting and have been able to narrow the pick up range to cut out the majority of ambient noise..

Yes, I believe that would work out well. The speaker gives a LOT of coverage. We had someone in one room and people two rooms over (in a large restaurant/bar-type venue) and you could hear perfect with one speaker. Based on feedback I received, I would recommend putting them on the tripod for even better coverage.

This kit can be used for pretty much any fermentation you want to try. I've done my own ale recipes, wine coolers, and many kits. Think of this product as a box of kitchens supplies and you can use them create anything you can think up.

The camera would be fine although someone needs to man the remote to move it as appropriate. The microphone would not work well at that distance, I ended up using a MXL AC-404 (from Amazon) and it works flawlessly. I also route the sound out of this to portable speaker system if the crowd is more than 10-15 people, otherwise the built in speaker is fine. Our tech club has used this to webcast large meetings (40-60 people) in a large multi-purpose room (2000sf) and using the other microphone and the speaker output, it makes for a very professional presentation. In a much smaller venue, the device itself would be sufficient. The camera would be fine although someone needs to man the remote to move it as appropriate.

No it is not a dud. It really depends on the application you are using. If you are using garage band you may have to go into the audio midi setup under utilities and create an aggregate device. When you do this it will give you the option to select the rode Podcaster. This is the best mic I have, I have tried cheaper ones like the Blue Snowball and other mini mics. But this one is by far the best.

Need a little more info.. for example, the way the mics are set up, it's great for conversations. For talks, if the mic is far away it won't do you much good, but the plug-ins it has will be compatible with most if not all sound boards out there. So, I'd say it's worth it only if 1) you will be close, and/or 2) you need the XLR or phono inputs.

If you attach a 2nd mic to filter background noise you will get excellent quality sound. By itself it's pretty good but, it will pick up any background noise so just don't podcast where there is a lot of that.

I own thus set. It's great for home/office use. For an event, depends what you are looking for. Not as good as a real dj equip. Regardless to your question. Stand.

yes. very very high quality audio. You could use in podcast. Yup, that good

I wouldn't recommend it. It is more for just sitting in a cup holder and listening too.

JasonI like your approach and believe it will work very well as you describe. I agree the last thing one wants is to mess up the other music or instruments signals. Remember to first do what you can avoid microphone feedback. This unit can mess up you voice signal as well. We like our FBQ1000 and use it on every gig.

I think there are better alternatives for your hobby, I am using this one for sports and sometimes for inside meetings that I record. Hope to be helpful. Good luck ;)

Not sure. I use mine to be able to have phoners on my podcast. I can feed the caller our audio without hearing themselves.

probably pretty good. its mostly about the media and other combinations to put in the media. I have ran this tumbler for hours and has finally wore me out. get on u-tube before buying. keep in mine, this unit is a little noise and creates dust. Put a small towel over the top and set it in the garage.
