Product Description
Reporter Omnidirectional Interview Microphone. Designed for handheld interview and presentation applications, the Reporter features an omnidirectional dynamic capsule that is designed to allow the user freedom of use, without the technique related issues typical of directional end-address microphones. An affordable electronic news-gathering microphone that still has broadcast quality. Additionally its frequency response has been specially tailored for voice reproduction, to maximise intelligibility and deliver crisp, clear results in almost any condition. The microphone features a durable die-cast aluminium alloy body coated in a discrete matte black anti-glare finish. An innovative multi-layer mesh basket protects the microphone from environmental noise without the need for a bulky and distracting foam wind shield. It is supplied with a removable microphone ˜flag' that can accommodate high-visibility branding. The Reporter is covered by R˜DE's industry-leading support guarantee, with a twelve month warranty ˜out of the box' that is easily increased to ten years free of charge, following online registration of the microphone.

I use this mic with a Sennheiser SKP 100 G3 plug-on transmitter, and the sound is fantastic. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!
Very tight pick-up patterns pick up voices beautifully without needing to put a mic in someone's face. Great noise rejection for ambient noise but not too much so that it sounds dead. It's a perfect blend of vocal clarity and pleasant ambience. For the price, we got two of them with no regrets. Love these mics!
The included microphone flag is ugly and useless for my purposes. I can't see many people making use of it. I wish Rode included a bunch of windscreens instead. That would have been a much more useful accessory.
While there are microphones that sound better, the ones that I know of cost at least twice as much as the Rode Reporter. For the price, it's a good choice for run-and-gun interviews.
The XLR fitting requires a different cable if you are going to plug this in to your DSLR, but if you have a P2 camera, most of those are set up for XLR.
affordable handheld mic, especially refurbished
captures sound well.
rode bag and reporter attachment is nice
con: ambient noise
need to buy separate cables to connect
maybe need a deadcat but couldn't find one that complements this mic. :(
We live in Costa Rica and we send all things via freight forwarders, so we have no return option. Almost $ 200 (including freight and import costs) for a defective microphone is too much.
By the way, Made in China, not Australia.
Top reviews from other countries
I especially like the way that you dont have to swing the mic between people during interviews - just hold it 18 - 24 inches (45 - 60cm) between both parties and let the mics internal magic work to level out the volumes.
This is especially good if you are interviewing excited (or excitable!) people - since you wont get the clipping you often see as the mic isn't moved fast enough by the reporter.
Paired it up with a TASCAM DR-10X plugged straight into he end and one AAA battery at the start of the day should see you through a full days interviewing.
