Rode NT-USB Review: your microphone is too far from your mouth
About this episode
Today we're taking an in-depth look at the Rode NT USB microphone, specifically for all you podcasters out there.
I run through the features including USB-only input, built-in pop filter, and standalone stand. I get my trusty shoebox out to make sure you can hear why the stand won't suffice for proper audio.
I also go through some potential issues, such as a noticeable background hum and the mic's size potentially obstructing your face on camera. Tips on how to mitigate these issues, such as using a boom arm are mentioned and the links to our gear recommendations are below.
