Introduction

We at would like to thank you and congratulate

you on investing in the

Broadcaster.

Like its name suggests, this

specifi cally designed for ‘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, the

Broadcaster has become an industry standard when

studio sound quality is required for on-air applications.

Utilising an Australian designed and manufactured

1” externally biased condenser transducer, the

Broadcaster features a switchable high-pass fi lter to

remove low frequency rumble.

A unique ‘ON-AIR’ LED indicator can be switched on

or off by shorting contacts on the fi ve pin audio

connector. This feature allows console operators to warn

the ‘Talent’ that the mic is live. More information on

integrating this feature is available in this user manual.

Please take the time to visit www.rodemic.com and

register your microphone for a full ten year warranty.
