I am going to be creating some Podcast videos. What is the sound quality like in terms of noice reduction etc. Thank you

The sound quality is excellent. There is no noise reduction so the high frequencies will not be filtered out. That is a desirable feature: your voice will sound bright and clear rather than dull and muddy.

The microphones can provide good quality to your purpose but I will recommend to make some test before in your microphone settings (levels) and the right distance from the mouth , not breathing to the microphone your results will be good with this or any other microphone

Hi, The noise reduction is not bad. It is better than the foam muff types. You can still hear sounds in the area so if someone is calling me, I will hear it. This is one of the most practical headphones I have ever used. It is reliable and has a long cord so it is great for use on a computer or a TV. I like these so much, I bought a total of 7 sets.

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.

Sorry I can't comment on its recording quality since I only have knowledge of the quality of sound when playing pre-recorded cassettes. You can always give it a try and return it via Amazon's return policy if you're not happy with the quality of recorded sound. Amazon is most gracious with its return policy. Good luck!

I have not done podcasting but I use it extensively for video capture and voice - works great for this and I would think it would work well for podcasting as well

Well, what I can tell you for sure concerning this device it that you won't sound like a phone recording. But what also is a factor invole when it comes to any type of recording is the equipment itself. The mic system can be top of the line but your actual recording device or system is not, then you yet are not going to get the best qoulity sound. Not saying you have to go broke to get a perfect sound. Just know that the mic along can't give you perfect sound results alone, with that system there you will notice a different in your sound recording. I hope that help some without getting too technical. ""Let's Make It A Hit Studio"

It's small. Good for a podcast . I wouldn't put anything super heavy on it. I put a sure58 mic on it.

Guys I just bought the zi6 and realized that the sound qualify wasn't very good so thinking about returning it and buying the zi8. What would you be the best microphone to buy if I'm doing some recordings for youtube and sound qualify is pretty important? Something that allows you to be 8 feet from the camera and still have good sound quality. Maybe a lapel mic?What do you recommend?

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

Its not as good as a studio mic but magnitudes better than the phone mic. I would not trust it to get a live gig without input gain controls. Use good software to record with that has eq and gain controls. I use the paid version of Hi-Q MP3 rec for Android and its decent. Then run it through Audacity.

The quality of the mic is very good the volume rocker on the side helps for the cobition of the background noise from outside , ive used it for videos, voice over the quality is very good if you are starting with the podcasting industry , upgrading will be needed as the quality of sound may be desirable with a little more expensive mic , I would suggest a Blue microphone or the Mammoth brand more expensive but the quality if the best

I'm sorry to say it's a tinny, thin sound nowhere as good as a cube. Back is cardboard. Great size to carry which is why I got it, but tiny speaker worked far better and without distortion than this machine. Good Luck!

I've not used it professionally. I try to record voice for videos and find that it picks up ambient noise, but would likely sound washed out if several were attempting to use it at the same time. As mentioned before, it is pretty necessary to be directly in front of the mic and pretty close to get good audio. I picked up a pop filter because I was so close. I hope that this helps.

crystal clear sound is a matter of opinion. I have used the device with line-in and recorded using audacity on Ubuntu linux. It sounds fine. Like all things, setup your sound mixers volumes appropriately. This is also my 'day drive' device using the MIC inputs for my VOIP headset. I have no compliants.

Amazing quality! The stand works great with it too, I use it for YouTube so it should work perfect for podcasting ;)

Its good. There is no real audio loss. Since they don't make blank tapes anymore, I got myself one to burn all my songs on a cd.

I'm happy with the acoustics, I use in a medium to small room, the high sounds are nice! My high is at level 10, too high going up. Maybe what you are looking for. Best wishes & enjoy!
