My biggest disappointment with this mic is its build quality. Rode builds the capsule on a piece of rubber and glue that peeled off during the shipment. When I received my mic, I can visually see the capsule bent backward. I immediately filed for a replacement. However, for some reason, I could not get a replacement. Perhaps it is because I bought it with promotion and for some reason, Amazon sent it to me as a gift. Those points denied me a replacement. Amazon only accepts a return. So, I had no choice but to test the mic (it's because I did not want to test the mic and return it. If I return it, I wanted to return without testing it). But the mic worked fine. So, I guess I have no choice but to keep it. It has no sign of use, even though it has some scratches on the body of the mic. And, the power supply of the mic has a small dent. These damages were probably caused by the shipment. How do I know it has not been used? I smell it and checked all the connections.
Will I buy it again? NO! Never! It has bad build quality.
Will I recommend it? Yes (if you do not care about a bent capsule). Otherwise, STAY AWAY FROM IT!
Why did I give it 5 stars? It's because the stars are for the effort of making the mic from the manufacturer, not my satisfaction with it.
RODE, you guys need to build better parts with this wonderful mic, please!

UPDATE: June 1, 2020
I'm sorry for a late update but here it is:
(1) Rode gave me 10 years warranty for the mic. I'm happy with that.
(2) I was able to fix the capsule problem with ease. I'm happy with my mic now.

Reviewed in India on October 14, 2023
Il cavo d’alimentazione del box é identico a quelli che alimentano i pc.
Il cavo di collegamento del microfono é molto lungo (per il mio utilizzo), siamo sui 2 metri circa e sembra di buona qualità, nel senso che é molto morbido, credo sia da movimentazione (indispensabile se viene montato su un supporto mobile).
La particolarità di questo kit é nel box che utilizza uno stadio preamplificatore a valvola, al singolare perché é mono.
Il microfono é dotato di 2 capsule e dall’unica manopola posta sul box possiamo sciogliere in continuità se utilizzare la singola capsula o entrambe passando da una posizione intermedia, la manopola si muove come un potenziometro ed é possibile modificare la sua posizione senza spegnere il box e permette una regolazione fine. Da tenere presente che se si desidera utilizzare 1 sola capsula bisogna tenere il microfono orientato con il puntino d’orato verso il suono.
Il box si preoccupa anche d’alimentare il microfono di conseguenza non é richiesta alimentazione esterna, nel retro del box é presente il connettore per audio XLR da collegare alla sorgente ricevente, il cavo XLR non viene fornito.
Nel frontale del box oltre alla manopola del microfono é presente anche l’interruttore d’accensione ed un led blu molto luminoso.
Come anticipato, non sono esperto in questi oggetti di conseguenza non sono in grado di valutare se effettivamente vale i soldi spesi ma di sicuro non si presenta come un giocattolo e per il momento ha sempre funzionato perfettamente, dopo parecchie ore di funzionamento o perché dimenticato acceso il microfono é appena tiepido ed il box a temperatura ambiente, e trovo questo molto positivo.
Devo anche confessare che ho acquistato il kit da amazon Ware house risparmiando molto di conseguenza non avrei motivo per parlare male di questo kit ma devo segnalare che nel kit non é presente un semplicissimo filtro anti pop o anti umidità, una sciocchezza da pochi centesimi che però obbliga a spenderne 50 o più per acquistare un’altro supporto dotato di questo filtro oppure una cuffia da applicare sul microfono. Questo non lo trovo corretto, il supporto fornito diventerà spazzatura perché non viene venduto il solo filtro se si rimane nei loro prodotti, ed il supporto che si andrà ad acquistare é identico a quello da buttare ma con il filtro. Il produttore si raccomanda d’utilizzare il filtro se utilizzato per le voci perché l’umidità del nostro fiato lo danneggia.
Per questo dettaglio non posso dire d’essere completamente soddisfatto ad ogni modo lascio le 5 stelle e consiglio l’acquisto soprattuto se in offerta.
Also the product was not secured in another box when it was delivered. Meaning it was bare. There was no protection considering the fragility of the product (valve inside the mic). The product's box also was filthy and looks like it was opened many times already, and the mic itself looks refurbished. Unacceptable for a 57,000 INR mic.
