Rode Broadcaster Condenser Mic w/ On-Air Indicator Details

Like its name suggests this RODE microphone was specifically designed ‘ON-AIR’ applications where wide frequency response and low distortion are demanded. Winner of the Radio World/US National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) 'What’s Cool' award in 1998, the Broadcaster has become an industry standard when studio sound quality is required for on air applications. Utilizing an Australian designed and manufactured RODE 1" externally biased condenser transducers, the Broadcaster features a switch-able high pass filter to remove low frequency rumble. A unique 'ON-AIR' LED indicator can be switched "on" or "off" by shorting contacts on the 5 pin audio connector. This feature allows console operators to warn the 'Talent' that the mic is live.
