Today I received a very kind surprise from John Bait G7OAE - a Rode Procaster microphone to try on our radio setup. I currently use an Electro-Voice RE27ND on Station #1 and an RE20 at home, so I’m fascinated to see how the Procaster compares for ham radio particularly on SSB.
Some broadcast-style dynamic microphones can sound fantastic on radio, but they often need quite a lot of gain. The RE20, for example, is famously “quiet” compared to hotter microphones like the RE27ND.
So the question is: Will a Rode Procaster actually work well on amateur radio?
If you use one, let me know your thoughts below.
