NAMM Update: Podcasting Mics
Microphone manufacturers have discovered the podcasting market, and are responding with a variety of new mics designed to meet the needs of podcasters. At the 2006 NAMM Show, held January 19-22, 2006, in Anaheim, California, many of the mic manufacturers we talked to either were shipping mics that targeted podcasting, or had design prototypes on display. NAMM is a four-day show, produced by the International Music Products Association, where the music and audio industry introduces most of its new products for the year. Rode displayed prototypes of two new microphones, the PodCaster and the ProCaster. 
The PodCaster is a basic USB mic designed for capturing vocals easily. 
The ProCaster is designed to be a step up from the PodCaster. Both mics seemed to have very sturdy design. Pricing was not finalized, but preliminary pricing for the PodCaster was a list of about $200, and $400 for the ProCaster.
